Best Restaurants in Barcelona
A curated guide to the best restaurants in Barcelona — from iconic local institutions to under-the-radar spots worth crossing the city for.
Where to eat in Barcelona
Cal Pep
A legendary tapas bar near the Born neighbourhood — sit at the counter and let Pep's team feed you. The fried baby squid and the clams with jamón are consistently perfect. No reservations for counter.
Disfrutar
Currently one of the world's best restaurants, the three-course creativity here is staggering. The multi-spherical pesto ravioli is pure wizardry. Book months in advance — it's worth the planning.
Cervecería Catalana
The best no-fuss tapas in the Eixample. The montaditos (small open sandwiches) are piled high with jamón, anchovy, and roasted peppers. Queue at opening for a table — it fills instantly.
Bar Cañete
A glamorous tapas bar on the edge of the Raval with an open kitchen and white-jacketed waiters. The tortilla is runny in the middle and the razor clams are grilled to perfection. Late-night vibes.
Bodega 1900
Albert Adrià's vermouth bar in Poble Sec, serving the most inventive tapas in the neighbourhood. The spherical olives and the bikini truffle sandwich are playful nods to elBulli. Exceptional value.
El Xampanyet
A blue-tiled cava bar in the Born that hasn't changed since the 1920s. House cava by the glass with plates of anchovies and manchego. It's heaving, chaotic, and completely wonderful.
Compartir Barcelona
From the team behind Cadaqués' famous restaurant, this sharing-plates spot in the Gothic Quarter is creative Mediterranean cooking at its best. The red prawn tartare is unforgettable.
La Pepita
A tiny, always-packed tapas bar in Gràcia neighbourhood. Their specialty is creative sandwiches — the duck confit with caramelized onion is a flavour bomb. Great craft beer selection too.
