    Dining in Barcelona | Spain

    0 shares

    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.
