Visiting the bar Les Gens Que J'aime gives you a feeling
of travelling to another time and place. This hidden gem is located in a
basement on Carrer Valencia in L’Exiample. As you enter you are at the top of a
staircase with the whole bar below you. The lights are dimmed and everything is
kept in dark colours. You will see guests lounging in old sofas and lounge
chairs and at the far end of the room a long bar is situated usually with a
couple of the regulars having a chat with the bartender over a gin and tonic.
Everything is old in Les Gens Que J'aime and it gives the place a truly unique
atmosphere. On certain week days the place is visited by a fortune teller that
the guests can have a chat to for spiritual guidance (or just for fun). It is a
truly old school experience with tarot cards and the works.
This is a quiet bar
to have a couple of drinks and a chat with your friends. We normally come here
for a pre-dinner drink or after a dinner to have a drink before heading home.
The bar is conveniently located close to Passeig de Graciá and would be the
perfect spot to have a drink after a long day visiting the many attractions on
and around Passeig de Graciá. Les Gens Que J'aime is moderately priced and the
selection of drinks is adequate but not extensive. There is no food available.
