L'estoc

Furniture wholesaler · el Prat de Llobregat

"L'estoc, Poble Nou by Little Buddha. L’estoc is a real one-off. Not only because they offer unique pieces of furniture made from repurposed wood (each one marked and numbered), but because of the social aspect: Their workshop consists entirely of people with intellectual disabilities, fostering development through work and stimulating the creative process that results in beautiful work.Their space is both a showroom and workshop where they design, produce and sell pieces created from disused objects such as wooden doors, screens, cable reels, etc."

Tresdenou

SKYE Coffee Co.

"Skye Coffee Co., Poble Nou by Little Buddha. The Skye Coffee Co. is located within the 88 co-working space of Poblenou, and it’s simply beautiful.The space stands out due to its clean, minimalistic interior that contrasts with original industrial elements of the warehouse. This juxtaposition of new and old is also reflected in the main feature: a1972 citroen HY, famously known as "le tube”, that has been turned in to a food truck/coffe shop. We higly recommend stopping by in the morning to enjoy their oat breakfast.

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a skater or bmx rider, we really cannot think of a better place to hang out than this skate park right next to the beach.This is one of the many meeting spots for skaters in the city and is especially popular for beginners. The disposition of the park makes it a circuit that gives you loads of freedom, space and angles to work on your tricks.Although, if you just fancy a stroll down the beach and come across it, the curved lines, concrete structure, and green surroundings make for amazing photo-ops."

Nomad Frutas Selectas

Coffee shop · el Poblenou

"Nømad Roaster's Home, Poble Nou by Little Buddha. Located in front of the BAU design school, this is THE place for coffee.

The interior offers an open-plan minimal space, with little more than a table and a bar from which you can observe their graining process. Curiously, though, the set-up makes you feel completely at home and to be honest, we almost forgot we were not actually at home in PJ’s."

Els Pescadors

Hidden between Ferrocarril and Jonquera streets is Plaça del Prim, a traditional Mediterranean square that really stands out from its renovated industrial surroundings.The restaurant has two differentiated areas, one maintaining the original marble tables and wooden features of the old tavern, and another two modern dining rooms that are characterized by coloured lighting and glass detailing. Although they present a contrast, they both reflect the values of the establishment, which we would define quite simply as pure quality. Not only because of the interiors and the amazing location, but because it serves the best fish in the city, hands down."
