Barcelona Dining
There is much to do and see in the beautiful city Barcelona, Spain. With that in mind, the diverse cuisine offered by the restaurants contributes to the overall pleasure of residents, as well as making a vacation there that much more rewarding and satisfying. While it is not usually the top priority consideration in making vacation plans, dining options actually play a large role in the overall experience of a city and region. Many people who travel like to taste the local flavors and traditional foods associated with their destination. In addition, many people like to know that they will be able to find standard options that they can rely on when they just need to get something to eat. Barcelona offers something for everyone, and features food options from around the world.
The top Barcelona hotels generally have a restaurant and lounge or bar as part of their services. The luxury hotels will often have top chiefs and serve specialty menu items. Of course simple cafes are also standard expectations with most resorts and the nearby area. Barcelona restaurants are diverse and proud of serving some of the most unique offerings available. Some of the standard ethnic and thematic options are traditional Basque, Catalan, Spanish, Italian, French, Mediterranean, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and well, the list could just go on and on. Ca l’Estevet is a Catalan restaurant located in Old Town Barcelona. It provides great food at reasonable prices and does so in a quaint, quiet and romantic setting. Some of the favorite options include the asparagus cooked over coals, the deep fried baby octopus and the duck breast. El Bulli is located on the northern outskirts of Barcelona and offers some of the best Spanish food to be found in Spain. It has a private chief who creates special menu options for the small, 50 seat, restaurant. The black garlic ravioli is a rare find.
