Barcelona is a paradise for those who love good food and high gastronomy. Whether you choose a simple tapas bar, a tavern in the port or a restaurant with Michelin stars, it is certain that you will enjoy it. The region of Catalonia is famous for its cuisine. From traditional dishes to the molecular gastronomy of the most famous chefs in the world right now, Ferran Adria, the variety of flavors is impressive. In the classic cuisine of Barcelona three basic ingredients play a leading role: olive oil, garlic and tomato.
Also, due to its location on the Mediterranean, the cuisine is rich in seafood. Some typical dishes are Sarsuela (fish and seafood cooked with tomato, paprika, olive oil, lemon, white wine and other spices), the Fideua (variant of paella) and of course, the famous crema catalana ( very reminiscent of the creamy Brühl). In tapas bars and pubs of the city you will experience a huge variety of appetizers, called tapas-Spanish chorizo sausage and of course freshly Ramon in all its variations. All these wonderful flavors will be better with a glass of wine from the many varieties produced by Spain or a cold beer (perfect for tapas). On warm summer days quench their thirst with a glass orxata, the traditional cold drink in Catalonia and Valencia.
Barcelona has many good restaurants, some cheap – some more expensive. If you choose to go to a high class one, be prepared to pay a lot of money, but surely the culinary experience will worth it. We chose a limited restaurant highly regarded that has very good reviews.
