Dining in Barcelona | Spain

Located in the Cataluña region of Spain and one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Barcelona offers some great food options.  The cuisine here is known as Catalan cuisine, and some popular dishes include Pan con Tomate (bread with tomatoes), Aioli (sauce made with garlic and olive oil), Sofrito (sauce cooked with garlic, onions, and tomatoes), and more.  There is something for everyone is this cosmopolitan city.

Ensaimada (left) – similar to the Puerto Rican mallorca, delicious bread.
 Churros (right) – delicious and cinnamony, however after a couple bites they were just way too heavy.
 


LOCATION: Passeig de Gracia, 66 08007, Barcelona (L’Eixample)
WEBSITE: Il Caffe Di Francesco COST: € 
CUISINE: Bakery/Café/Coffee Bar 
VERDICT: 5 / 5 
Excellent.  Our breakfast spot every morning, it was so good that I ate here 3 times in 3 days. 

 

2. La baguetina (deli)
Tourist trap with extremely high prices, you don’t get what you pay for, but the food was good!

Vegetarian Baguette ~ 8 Euros a slice, steep, but so delicious
 



LOCATION:
Passeig de Gracia, 86 08008, Barcelona (L’Eixample)

WEBSITE: La Baguetina Catalana
COST: €€ 
CUISINE: Deli/Spanish 

VERDICT: 3 / 5 
To me this seems more like a tourist trap due to the high cost of just 1 slice of pizza, in addition, it isn’t even a sit-down restaurant.  Consider going here for just a snack so you eat less, and hence spend less.  You aren’t getting what you pay for.
 

3. Tapa Tapa (tapas)
Great tapas at an affordable price with lots of vegetarian options.

Teriyaki Chicken with Sesame Seeds (left)… very good.
 Patates Braves (right)… French Fries topped with Aioli sauce… yummy, but so greasy.
 

LOCATION: Passeig de Gracia, 44 08007, Barcelona (L’Eixample)
COST: €€ 
CUISINE: Spanish/Tapas
VERDICT: 4.5 / 5 
Loved.  This restaurant offers lots of vegetarian and chicken options.  Great food, good portions enough to share between 2 people, and roughly 5 Euros per dish.



4. Pinotxo Bar (tapas/lunch)
This place is always crowded, but despite the great reviews, I am not sure what the hype is all about.

Sautéed Onions and Red Peppers with Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar (left)… good, but it was just okay.
 Pasta with Sausage (right)… since I don’t eat red meat, this was just okay.
  

LOCATION: Boqueria Food Market (Las Ramblas)
COST: €€
CUISINE: Spanish/Tapas
VERDICT: 3 / 5 
Pinoxto Bar is popular spot for breakfast, but sadly we never made it to the Boqueria Food Market in time for breakfast.  The tapas were just okay for me.

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
