Munch and sip the best of Barcelona

Step into the bustling streets of Barcelona, where history, culture, and a deep passion for food create a city unlike any other. From the sun-drenched plazas of the Gothic Quarter to the lively markets brimming with fresh seafood and seasonal produce, every corner offers a taste of Catalonia’s rich culinary heritage. Whether you’re sipping vermouth in a tucked-away bodega or sharing a plate of freshly sliced jamón, Barcelona is a city made for food lovers.

Explore the flavors that define Barcelona’s legendary food scene. Delight in the delicate crunch of pan con tomate, the perfect start to any Catalan meal. Enjoy the sizzling spectacle of bombas—golden, crispy potato croquettes with a spicy kick. And, of course, no visit is complete without indulging in fresh seafood, from grilled prawns to the city’s famous fideuà, a cousin of paella made with short noodles instead of rice.

Our guided food experiences take you beyond the tourist trail, introducing you to the authentic flavors and hidden spots only the locals know. With intimate group sizes and expert hosts, you’ll uncover the stories behind the city’s most beloved dishes, exploring Barcelona’s culinary traditions in a way that’s as delicious as it is unforgettable.

Left my cold Canadian roots for Sunny Spain back in 2015 and lived happily ever after

My favourite Catalan dish has to be Calçots with Romesco sauce! Messy and fun, these seasonal spring onions are BBQed with friends and often eaten outside while sharing a Porron of wine!

If you find yourself in Barcelona on a weekend afternoon, the lush squares of the Gracia neighbourhood are the perfect spot to mingle with locals and expats on the terrace of a Vermuteria.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Barcelona worth it?

Absolutely! Barcelona is packed with amazing food, but knowing where to go is the real challenge. A food tour saves you from the tourist traps and takes you straight to the best, most authentic spots. You’ll taste the true flavors of Barcelona, hear the stories behind the dishes, and experience the city like a local—not just a visitor. Plus, let’s be honest, wandering the Gothic Quarter or El Born with a glass of vermut in hand is much more fun when you have an expert guide leading the way.

What food is Barcelona famous for?

Barcelona’s culinary scene is a delicious mix of Catalan tradition and Mediterranean influences. You can’t leave without trying pa amb tomàquet (bread rubbed with tomato and olive oil), jamón ibérico (cured ham that melts in your mouth), and the legendary patatas bravas (crispy potatoes with spicy sauce). Seafood lovers, get ready for suquet de peix (a rich fish stew), and of course, a visit isn’t complete without indulging in crema catalana, the local (and arguably superior) version of crème brûlée.
