Barcelona is a city with an impressive and varied food scene, and on the cusp of end of the year parties, the kitchens of the city's hotels offer the most interesting and appetizing options. There is avant-garde, traditional and local cuisine to satisfy all tastes.

The restaurants at the city's hotels have become the best settings for a formal or informal meal, breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner every day of the week, all year round. Here are four recommendations to enjoy a meal at anytime of day. 

1. El Jardí d'Esmorzars at the Hotel El Palace offers a beautiful space and a buffet breakfast with dishes from around the world. It's a small, peaceful corner within the bustle of the city and allows you to start the day recharged. 
2. La Terraza de la Vivi del Kimpton Vividora Hotel is one of the best options for a mid-morning brunch on any Sunday. There is good coffee, juices, yogurts, cereals, pancakes, omelets, fruit, and if you feel like it, a refreshing mimosa, all accompanied by a DJ set and spectacular views of the city.
3. Villa Emilia Bistrot, at Hotel Villa Emilia by Katja & Antoine, is located in the middle of the Eixample. The spot is cozy, with comfortable sofas, low tables, first class service, a grand piano and a fireplace that gives charm to the space. In addition to a varied menu, it offers a midday menu with market products and is always seasonal. 
4. The gastrobar Le Bouchon at the Mercer Hotel Barcelona is a heritage jewel that offers one of the best gastronomic offerings in the city. Chef Xavier Lahuerta offers traditional tapas with the best local products. Visitors can share the true Barcelona experience with his calamares a la romana, Iberian ham croquettes and delicious ensaladilla rusa. 

Some of these spots are already offering Christmas dinners and menus. If visiting Barcelona and wanting to celebrate with friends and family, do not forget to make a reservation.
