    La Boqueria, or Mercat St Joseph to give it its proper name, is a large food market situated right off Las Ramblas. This is where the local chefs apparently buy their ingredients so it if its good enough for them I guess its good enough for the rest of us. It is quite touristy given its location but its still a good place to come to get your fresh food for picnics and whatever. As well as the stalls there a couple of tapas bars within the market where you can sit and eat/drink.

    I came here primarily at breakfast time since breakfast wasn't included where I was staying. There are loads of fruit stalls and many of them sell small [well varying sizes] tubs of mixed fruit salad & individual fruits ready to eat and with a fork - perfect for breakfast on the go! They were very popular as were the fresh fruit drinks that those stalls also sold. I tried a few and can recommend the mango and also the orange and papaya - YUM! :)

    It's a great tapas bar in the middle of Boqueria Market. The food is fresh, tastes great, you don't wait too long (unless there are other people all around the bar waiting for their turn) and the surrounding is quite unique too.
    Almejas or calamares are well worth trying!

    On my last day in Barcelona I went again to "La Boqueria", this time to have a quick breakfast. We?ve been to Bar Boqueria and had some cortados and shared a bocadillo de lomo and a bocadillo de pollo. Obviously you can get much more and more special dishes on the market place such as fish plates or traditional spanish cuisine or as well all kind of fresh fruit drinks.

  • "Patatas Bravas"
    by Saldi
    It's a very famous place in Barcelona to eat tipical sandwiches (or bocadillos) is "la boquería", a small place full of people trying to get one of theese sandwichs and drink special wine.... If you have Claustrophobia, don't enter... wait outside..hehehe.

    And the other place (la oveja negra) is the best to drink the most famous and delicious Sangría.... the ambient is quite spanish, funny and relaxing.... there's no place to dance, only tables to drink with your friends and talk a lot...

    NO favourite place, my advice follow your nose it will lead you exactly to what you fancy at the time..
    as fresh as it can be just check out the market at La Boqueria and you'll see for yourself.

    just to nibble some tapas, something inbetween in summer a caspatcho, more solid something from the grill and always seafood to the limit!

  • There are plenty of restaurants with local food or fast food. But I prefer going to one of the covered markets, i.e. Mercat de Sant Antoni or Mercat Boqueria (Rambla street). There you can eat really authentic local dishes (fresh fish, meat, vegetables) at the lowest possible prices.

    various shell fish dishes, and of course - black paella

    Various meats, seafood, cheese, and produce at extremely low prices. A great place to buy some cheese, baguettes and berries on your way to the beach. The one near the train station has a couple of great tapas bars.

    A huge carton of strawberries cost a single euro while I was there.

    the best place to get FRESH DELICIUS ingredients is MERCADO DE LA BOQUERIA, is like a museum, is in the ramblas.

    anyone, there is no one I prefer, but what i really love is the food in Barcelona, is so diferent cause the ingredients and the OLIVE OIL.
