This is the travel result page for Barcelona Restaurants. Barcelona is Spain's second largest city and was once home to the 1992 Summer Olympics. Barcelona is also known for having a rich cultural heritage and has many museums such as the National Museum of Art of Catalunya and the Picasso Museum to showcase that heritage. Perhaps one of Barcelona's greatest attractions is the Sagrada Familia, the church that has been under construction since 1882.

Barcelona Local Cuisine
- Gaig (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-429-10-17 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "Gaig's execution is faultless, and while perhaps not as innovative as some of his younger contemporaries, this is what eating in Barcelona is all about: connecting with the land and sea through wild turbot, tender beef, or even just Maresme peas."
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Eggs come from chickens seen wandering about the patio, where customers often dine alfresco in the summer months. The cuisine of Gaig centers on traditional Catalan recipes transformed and altered to suit lighter and more modern palates."
- Agut (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-315-17-09 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "The aura is evokes the 1940s and 1950s, with a cozy little bar to the right as you enter. Paintings on the walls are from well-known Catalan artists from the mid-20th century."
- Fodor's Review: "Wainscoting and 1950s canvases are the background for the mostly Catalan crowd in this homey restaurant in the lower reaches of the Gothic Quarter."
- Casa Calvet (Mediterranean), Phone: 93-412-40-12 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "There's stunning cabinetry and stained glass. Chef Miguel Alija's modern Mediterranean menu changes regularly, but you might find foie gras accompanied with Modena balsamic jelly, a medley of squid, prawns, and artichokes in squid in sauce and a Muscat-spiked lamb."
- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Probably the most intimate Gaudian experience you can have in Barcelona is eating at this sumptuous dining room. The Casa Calvet, one of the architect's first commissions, was built for the textile magnate Pere Calvet."
- Arola (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-483-80-90 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "What Arola aims to do amid a quirky, pop-art decor in purple and lime green, is to give the pica-pica modern makeover. Pica-pica can be best translated as "nibbles," and could be bite-size pieces of Manchego cheese, Iberian ham, preserved shellfish, or high-end canned tuna."
- 7 Portes (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-319-30-33 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "While these days it's more touristy than aristocratic, there is still enough authentic charm left in the decor (and patrons) to make it well worth the visit. The white-aproned staff members are constantly on the go, which in some ways makes it feel like an upmarket canteen."
Barcelona High-End Restaurants
- El Racó de Can Fabes (Mediterranean), Phone: 93-867-28-51 Google Map
- Fodor's Review: "One of the four top-rated restaurants in Spain (along with El Bulli in Roses, and Arzak and Berasategui in San Sebastian), this is a must for anyone interested in fine dining."
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The restaurant is refined and elegant yet retains a rustic aura. One typical example of their inspired dishes is hot and cold mackerel with cream of caviar and tender pigeon with duck tartare."
- Abac (Mediterranean), Phone: 93-319-66-00 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "The 1990s decor with honey-colored walls, dark cherry floors, and red chairs could use an update, but chef Xavier Pellicer follows prime produce through the seasons to constantly reinvent his ten-course tasting menu."
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "This is the showcase of a personality chef, Xavier Pellicer, who creates a self-termed cuisine d'auteur, meaning a menu of completely original dishes."
- Jaume de Provença (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-430-00-29 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "This small, cozy restaurant with its rustic decor is just a few steps from the Estacio Central de Barcelona-Sants railway station, at the western end of L'Eixample."
- Fodor's Review: "Locals come here because they've heard about the chef, Jaume Bargues, and can't wait to discover more of his haute-cuisine repertoire."
- Drolma at the Hotel Majestic (International), Phone: 93-496-77-10 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "What diner could not love the chef who presents pheasant-stuffed cannelloni in a velvety foie gras sauce, the dish delicately sprinkled with the rare black truffle?"
- Fodor's Choice: "The menu de degustacio (taster's menu) might have pheasant cannelloni in foie-gras sauce with fresh black truffles or giant prawn tails with trompettes de la mort (black wild mushrooms) with sot-l'y-laisse (free-range chicken nuggets)."
- Neichel Restaurant (French), Phone: 93-203-84-08 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Neichel is almost obsessively concerned with gastronomy -- the savory presentation of some of the most talked-about preparations of seafood, fowl, and sweets in Spain."
- Fodor's Choice: "Chef Jean-Louis Neichel, originally from Alsace, skillfully manages a wide variety of exquisite ingredients such as foie gras, truffles, wild mushrooms, herbs, and the best seasonal Mediterranean vegetables."
- La Dama (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-202-06-86 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "In one of the grand 19th-century buildings for which Barcelona is famous, this stylish and well-managed restaurant serves a clientele of local residents and civic dignitaries. You take an Art Nouveau elevator (or the sinuous stairs) up one flight to reach the dining room."
Barcelona Moderate Restaurants
- Can Majó (Seafood), Phone: 93-221-58-18 Google Map
- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "The food covers fairly familiar ground, but when it's good, it's good, and it can be very good indeed. The fish is fresh, bought each morning."
- Fodor's Choice: "On the beach in Barceloneta, Can Majo is one of Barcelona's premier seafood restaurants."
- L'Olivé (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-452-19-90 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "There are sections on both floors where it's possible to have some privacy, and overall the feeling is one of elegance with a touch of intimacy. It's highly unlikely you'll be disappointed by anything on the menu..."
- Fodor's Review: "Specializing in Catalan home cooking, this busy and attractive spot is always filled to the brim with trendy diners having a great time."
- Café de L'Academia (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-315-00-26 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "Dishes of this quality usually cost three times as much in Barcelona. The chef is proud of his "kitchen of the market," suggesting that only the freshest ingredients from the day's shopping are featured."
- Fodor's Review: "With wicker chairs, stone walls, and background classical music, this place is sophisticated-rustic, and the excellent Catalan cuisine makes it more than a mere cafe."
- Pla (Mediterranean), Phone: 93-412-65-52 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "Pla is popular with locals and visitors alike for its consistently high standard of carpaccios; wide selection of market-fresh salads exposing tasty combinations such as spinach, mushrooms, and prawns..."
- Fodor's Review: "Filled with young couples night after night, this combination music, drinking, and dining place is candlelit and sleekly designed in glass over ancient stone, brick, and wood."
Barcelona Affordable Restaurants
- Taller de Tapas (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-268-85-59 Google Map
- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "The tapas are prepared in an open kitchen where there is not a microwave in sight. The owners are always on the lookout for new ingredients that will work in tapas, which means that every week there is a board of specials."
- Mesón David (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-441-59-34 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "The food is fast, furious, and excellent, and the regional specialties range from Navarran trout stuffed with serrano ham and Galician-style broiled octopus to traditional Castilian roast suckling pork."
- Pla de la Garsa (Mediterranean), Phone: 93-315-24-13 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "Begin with one of the pates, such as the goose, or a confit of duck thighs. You can also order meat and fish pates. One surprise is a terrine with black olives and anchovies."
- Quimet & Quimet (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-442-31-42 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "This is a great tapas bar, especially for cheese, of which it offers the finest selection in Barcelona."
- El Vaso de Oro (Spanish/Portuguese), Phone: 93-319-30-98 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "This is another very good Barceloneta tapas bar that also makes its own beer. The place is ridiculously narrow, making it a challenge not to elbow your neighbor as you raise your glass."
Barcelona Vegetarian Restaurants
- Sin Carne: Barcelona Vegetarian Restaurants
- Happy Cow: Barcelona Vegetarian Restaurants
- Camper FoodBall Phone: 93-270-13-63 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "The foodballs in question are wholegrain rice balls stuffed with either organic mushrooms, chickpeas, tofu and alga, or chicken. You can either take them out in recycled lunchboxes or choose to park yourself on the grandstand-style seating."
- Organic Phone: 93-301-09-02 Google Map
- Frommer's Recommended: "Hip and hippie, Organic is one of the few vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona that doesn't feel like a convent when you walk in."
