While touring the Mercat de Boqueria this morning we passed by Barrachina Meat and Burger and…read morethought we would come back later in the day and try their burgers. This is one example of a hunch paying off big! Burger cooked perfect medium rare. (Those who have read my reviews in the past know I'm pretty adamant about how a burger should be cooked. Don't ask me how I want it if you're not going to cook it that way!) Very fresh, tasty bun and an even better tasting burger. Fries were wonderful as well. There are many options of burgers and toppings. All looked real good as we watched other tables getting their orders. Service was really good and attentive as well. A great lunch!

BOMB DOT FRIGGIN' COM!!! The BEST and most delicious arepas evaaahh!! I know what you're thinkin';…read moreVenezuelan food... in Spain?! But hold that thought because these arepas are friggin' dynamite! Never been to Venezuela but THESE arepas are officially gonna be labeled as the best that I've tried thus far! Y'all... I was literally walking to my next tour location as I had a little bit of time to spare. Walked past this place and it smelled amazing. Walked back and realized that it was a Venezuelan cafe. I wasn't even all that hungry so I figured that I'd just come back later. Started walking away and then turned back around. It was the smell. It just... got me. I needed to taste whatever they were cookin' and I just couldn't wait. I needed to try it NOW. Best friggin' decision that I could have made. Literally. All of sudden I was hungry and all of these beautiful breads and pastries sat in front of me. They all looked delicious but I wanted whatever I was smelling. That's when I saw it; an arepa! Oh man flippin' gawsh! Nearly lost my sh!t. When I tell you that it is so hard to find Venezuelan food in my area. The one place that I've been frequenting is good, but after trying the food here... it just blew that sh!t out of the water! Seriously! My favorite flavor of arepa is pabellón and of course they had it. Ordered it quickly along with an alfajor for a nice little after lunch treat. For some reason, I thought the arepa was gonna be like a snack size. This is what I'm used to from what I've had back home. I was clearly mistaken. THIS arepa was a whole damn meal. Like an ENTIRE meal all on its' own. It was huge and stuffed to the max! And OMG the flavaaas! Mmmm! So effing DELISH! First off, that bread! Geezus! Piping hot and crispy like they just made it front scratch. I wouldn't doubt if they had because that's what it tasted like. The tasty beef shreds, the black beans, the sweet plantains, and the crumbled cheese... mmm just heavenly together! It created the most beautiful flavors in the world. I was hooked Instantly. Every time I bit into this thing, my eyes started rolling to the back of my head. So crazy because this is probably considered cheap street food but in my little mind, it's state of the art. Plus, it really IS cheap in price. €5-6 will get you one super filling and scrumptious arepa. Their cafe is small but super comfy and cozy. Also, this place is poppin'! After I sat down to eat, several people came in and a small line formed and the place got busy. This seems like the local neighborhood gem for sure. Also, the staff is very sweet and they speak English! I actually tried to come back here again, but they were closed. I think they close around 6 or 7. But my Gawwwd was it good! This is one of the places that I've been dreaming about ever since I left. I would without a doubt come back here again on a future visit. Excellent little gem!

This place is a great homage to an Areperia in Venezuela. They have all my favorites growing up as…read morea youth. Cachitos, Empanadas, Golfiados, Arepas, Pan de Jamón and many more. They have actual guasacaca; it's better than what my mom used to make. The ambiance is perfectly accompanied by light melodic music of all your favorite Spanish classics. This is truly the best place for a Venezuelan that is nostalgic or homesick. This little restaurant/bakery is a wonderful reminder of what life was like in Venezuela when things worked well.

This is just for the supermarket:…read more Yes. Yes and Yes. It is VERY difficult to find quinoa round these parts at prices that aren't outrageous, and this place has it, and what's more it's organic! As with any organic market, some items seem more reasonably priced than others, but overall don't be scared away from this place because it really isn't that much more expensive than places like Dia or el Consum (this coming from a person who knows the price per kilo of 3 different types of tomato of just about every shop in Gracia), and the quality is always great! All of my breakfast grains now come from here. All of them. Also they have a restaurant set up for takeaway, but I haven't tried it.

Very misleading: not everything is organic…read more Woki advertises themselves as an organic shop ("ecologico") with signs outside advertising "100% Bio". It is only when you ask for clarification that you discover that: - The meals (woks, burgers, etc.) is not all organic. Some of the meat and rice is but the vegetables, sauces, etc. are not. This is in very small print on the menu and contradicts the advertising outside the shop. - Most of the pastries/cakes are not organic (this is not written anywhere). I like Woki's concept a lot, am a big fan of organic Todd and smaller shop-cafè setups, but was very disappointed to find Woki misleads customers in this way. :(

Wow. This place is…read moredefinitely a hidden gem with a ton of history. I highly recommend this place for great and authentic Spanish food ( see pictures ). - Roast Poultry Chicken - Eggs w/ Foie and fries - Sausage w/ Beans and Preserved Tomato - Cod w/ Garlic and Beans Great friendly service.

On our first morning in Barcelona, we happened to stumble upon this small, local, Mom-and-Pop-run…read morecafe. The owners did not seem to speak much English, but luckily my vague remembering of high school Spanish and fervent gesticulations sufficed. We ordered the classic jamón ibérico, a Russian salad, and two smoothies (containing mango, papaya, guava juice, and pineapple, among some other frutas I cannot seem to recall). The smoothies were perfect for the hot day in store. Made from only the fruits and juice base, it tasted fresh and delicious. The jamón was also amazing, and this experience set our expectations high for upcoming dining experiences. We wound up returning to this cafe 3 other days for breakfast (3 of our 7 breakfasts there)! There was no other place that really hit the spot quite like this one. Or perhaps we were just major suckers for a good smoothie. Either way, it speaks volumes when two tourists spend 4/21 precious meals in a new city at the same location! A must-try for anyone in the Barcelona area.
