The Mobile World Congress 2014 will take place
24 – 27 February 2014 in Barcelona. The venue of the MWC is in Fira Gran Via with good connection to Fira Montjuïc, near Plaza España, a place where
I don’t normally go to eat. If I go there, it’s usually to visit CaixaForum,
MNAC or the Van der Rohe pavilion.

I can not make any suggestions for Fira Gran Via, I am afraid. Still, I think I can make a few suggestions in the surrounding of Fira Montjuïc.
First
suggestion: avoid the upper floor
restaurants at the Arenas Shopping Center. These are just a trap for
tourist. If you want to see the view, go and have a beer but try not to eat. If
you feel you have to eat there, there are some fast-food restaurants in the
underground floor such as UDON,
which are ok.
Second suggestion and
last (for now), if you want to eat in a posh place and have a view, remember Restaurant VISUAL offers both. It is in the upper
floor of Hotel Torre Catalunya in Plaça de Sants, just a few minutes from the
MWC venue.

P.S. This post included a suggestion to visit RAFI, a small family-owned restaurant, which offered the best cous-cous in town. Unfortunately, Rafi and his husband - Mohammed - retired and the restaurant has changed hands, philosophy and menu. What can we say? It is a pity! Rafi / Mohammed: If you ever read this, thank you for the pleasure your food and tea has provided us. Now we regret not having eaten there more often!
