Barcelona footballers don't just stand out on the field. They also have their favorite spots in the city, where they relax and enjoy a good meal. Fermín López, one of the revelations in the blaugrana locker room, already knows exactly which place is his go-to.
The young midfielder hasn't hesitated to share it publicly. In an interview, Fermín López revealed that his favorite restaurant in the Catalan capital is a place that combines Japanese cuisine with Brazilian flavors in a modern and sophisticated setting. This choice confirms the Andalusian's good taste.

Fermín López's favorite restaurant in Barcelona
Located in three key areas of the city—Sarrià, Paral·lel, and El Born—Ikibana has become one of the most popular restaurants among well-known faces. Its fusion concept, elegant décor, and relaxed atmosphere have made it a benchmark in Barcelona's restaurant scene.
Fermín López was seen there at the beginning of the season accompanied by his partner, Berta Gallardo. The dinner drew even more attention because it coincided with his teammate Gavi and his girlfriend, Ana Pelayo. Both couples enjoyed an evening at one of the chain's locations, although it hasn't been confirmed which one they visited that night.
What is known is that the scene didn't go unnoticed. As they left the restaurant, several fans recognized the Barcelona players and managed to take a photo with them. Thus, the double date went viral on social media and sparked interest in the restaurant in question.

A restaurant with Japanese, Brazilian, and Barcelona flair
Ikibana stands out for its original menu. Its kitchen combines the freshness of sushi and nigiris with more intense dishes like grilled meats or tempuras. The starters include options such as lobster salad, gyozas, or oysters in Japanese style.
Those who enjoy raw fish have the option to try tuna tartare or beef tartare. There is also a complete assortment of sushi, ideal for sharing in a group. The mix of flavors is designed to surprise and adapt to all kinds of tastes.
Meat lovers will find dishes like Wagyu sirloin or organic beef entrecôte. In addition, there are vegetarian alternatives such as Edamame Bode and Tomato Garden. All of this is served in spaces with a carefully designed aesthetic, dim lighting, and background music, where every detail matters.

Fermín López, a self-declared fan of gastronomy
With this choice, Fermín López joins the list of footballers who find in gastronomy a refuge between training sessions and matches. Although many opt for classics like Botafumeiro or luxury Italian spots, the homegrown player has preferred an innovative and multicultural restaurant.
His taste for food isn't new, but the fact that he has pointed to Ikibana as his favorite says a lot about his style: young, bold, and with personality. In addition, it's a perfect place to enjoy with a partner or friends without having to give up tranquility and discretion.
Barcelona offers many options for good food, but not all restaurants manage to captivate soccer stars. In Fermín López's case, it's clear that Ikibana has won over more than just his palate: it has become his favorite meeting spot.
