Carpe Diem Lounge Club

One of our favorite restaurants that my friend and I have now been to three times is Carpe Diem Lounge Club, which is right along the beach off the Port Olympico stop. Carpe Diem Lounge Club is also referred to as CDLC as late at night it also turns into a smaller club scene. It is located right next to Shoko and Opium and has seating inside and outside on the edge of the beach. One of the cooler experiences I’ve ever had while dining is the option to have beds to lay on with whoever you go with to enjoy the meal laying down.
While eating there you have the option to get a massage for free although the girls work for tips. At CDLC they have a Catalan mix on most of the dishes they serve. Although they offer many Catalan type dishes, each time I’ve been there I always end up ordering the sushi as it is the freshest sushi I’ve found in Barcelona to date. Sushi is up there as one of my favorite foods and for the first month and a half living here, after not eating any of it I made it a mission to find a good restaurant for it. I truly enjoy the ability to eat right along the beach as it’s a great atmosphere as my parents and I went there while they visited Barcelona, and I remember a great time with friends as we decided to eat there after a long day of hanging out on the beach. Although at many times it takes awhile to get a table for a decent sized group, it’s not too bad to leave a name and walk around the beach or just to enjoy and check out the area. I’ve found myself several times walking around the area in between Port Olympico and Barceloneta with friends and have truly come to love that area. It was interesting to learn in class that this area was made into what it is just prior to the 1992 Summer Olympics as they wanted to make it easier for people to get to the city if coming by water. In conclusion, I would recommend Carpe Diem Lounge Club to any resident or visitor to Barcelona.
