What to eat in Barcelona
On La Rambla you’ll be tempted by restaurateurs luring you in, but the best place to try fresh local food is the bustling La Boqueria market, where vendors selling fish, olives in dozens of marinades, fresh tomatoes and almonds stand alongside counters offering fresh-cooked dishes, wine, beer, or coffee and pastries. Try Catalan cuisine at its best with a tasting menu at Suculent. For tapas, go upscale at Tapas 24 or standing-room-only Quimet i Quimet, or try La Pepita for the classic tortilla omelette, fried calamari, and patatas bravas (chips with spicy sauce) done right.
