These days my 5 star food picks are ones that I continue to think about long after I'm done with my meal. This is one of those places. Came because I saw the excellent ratings and wanted a burger. Ordered the Chivito thinking it was a burger. Turns out it's a steak sandwich with some cold cuts, veggies, and an amazing toasted buttery brioche bun. Initially I didn't fully process it as I was expecting the taste of a burger. I then just enjoyed it for what it was, a very unusual steak sandwich. Once I readjusted my expectations, I loved it. A fantastic fresh homemade taste, and the staff is cool. Menus are available in English and are just a clipboard with a few spartan pages of food. I finished my Chivito, and while I enjoyed it, I didn't think to hard about it. Now a few hours later I'm wishing I had another. And that is my definition of a 5 star. The potatoes are lightly salted and just the right amount browned. Get those on the side. Keep in kind they only have a few seats.

Foc i Oli is a super tiny place. There are ten seats. Ten. You will sit at a counter. There is no privacy. That's normally the kind of place I'd hate, but Foc i Oli makes some incredible burgers. I had the Chivito (thin slices of beef steak, ham, bacon, mayo, salad dressing, gouda, red pepper and caramelized onion on brioche bread.) For 9.80 €, it was a taste sensation. I loved it. Although not technically a burger, it basically tasted like one. We arrived near closing time, but the guys here were super-accommodating. Most locals seemed to grab their burgers to go. They do serve beer (I believe they have just one tap) and have some spirits on the wall, so I guess they can whip up a few mixed drinks. Whether you get a burger to go or squeeze your way into a seat, Foc i Oli is an awesome addition to your Barcelona checklist.

Chicken sandwich with potatoes. Get the potatoes. Trust me.

This tiny little sandwich shop doesn't look like much but it's worth a trip. I know burgers are their thing but I'd just had a burger the day before so I decided to switch things up and get a chicken sandwich. While I regret not getting a burger after reading all the other reviews, I don't think I missed out on much. My sandwich was so yummy - the sauce had great flavor and the bread was perfectly toasty and crunchy. Those potatoes are heaven too. Very reasonably priced. Servers were friendly. Would be a regular if I didn't live 5,000 miles away :-)

Best European burgers I ever had. I got the Special which came with fried egg on top. Outstanding. My friend had the burger with blue cheese and loved it. Goal is to get there one more time before we leave wonderful Barcelona. Only seats 10 people! Owners very friendly.

A hidden gem in Barcelona. Don't be fooled by the images and think "Why would I come all the way to Barcelona just to have a burger?" The flavors from these sandwiches are far from your typical fast-food sandwich and easily slide into a gourmet tier of their own. This is particularly true for the house special, the Chivito. The three kinds of meat thinly sliced and combined with a unique combination of flavorful and fresh ingredients will have your eyes wide open in disbelief of how delicious it is. Their "patatas" which are a bit similar to homestyle fries are a perfect complement to the sandwich; a golden crisp on the outside and soft on the inside as well as not overly salted. They also have a nice variety of beers and some hard liquor if it suits fancy. All the sandwiches are also just the right size, satisfying yet won't make you feel heavy and weighed down so you'll be good to walk about after your meal. I need to offer some advice for when you DEFINITELY pay this place a visit. The restaurant is small, as in quite literally there are only 10 seats in the whole place, bar style so there are no reservations. There are 5 seats along the wall, 2 seats facing the street and 3 seats at the bar (you can see it posted on pictures). Because of this, it's recommended that you come outside of the hours you might find people looking to eat. I stopped by with two others around 3:30 P.m. in which we were glad to find that it wasn't too busy and we all sat at the bar. We had a chat with the owner who was extremely friendly (and a big soccer fan from Uruguay) and he stated that the busy times can sometimes vary depending on the season and that because it was mid-day in July, a lot of people were out enjoying the beach so it's easier to find seating. The busiest time, as you might guess, are lunch time around 12:00 P.m. and dinner time around 8:00 P.m. or so. They do not follow the trend common among Spain restaurants and cafes that close between 4PM and 8PM for migdiada/siesta. Give it a try! TL;DR for travelers - Sandwiches range from €10-€12 with fries being an extra €2.50 or so - Open during the migdiada/siesta hours of 4P.m. to 8P.m. where many places might be closed - Only 10 seats in the whole restaurant, bar style so you may be rubbing elbows with other folks (socializing chance!) - Absolutely try the Chivito!

I'm writing this review mainly because there are no current reviews. Foc i Oli was a late choice based on food they served, ratings, distance from our hotel and price. We only had a short time for dinner. Glad to say we were pleasantly surprised. Dishes ordered: El Chivito (thin slices of steak, ham, bacon, mayonnaise, salad dressing (actually pile and vinegar and salt and paper), Gouda cheese, red pepper, fresh tomatoes, caramelized onions, on brioche bun), La Hambuguesa, El Chihuahua, El Polastre. Each with potatoes. Everything was beyond our expectations. Atmosphere nice, tiny place, seating only at counters on stools. Service was excellent and enjoyable. Food was truly amazing. I would definitely recommend this tiny restaurant. Come and enjoy.

This was a pretty good burger spot. The service was great and the burgers were delicious. They are very fresh and the buns are toasted just right. The patatas or fries were also tasty. Definitely recommend. There's only seats for about 10 people so be prepared to be seated in a tight space if it's full.

Small little burger joint, but don't let that fool you. Their food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the El Chivito, which is a steak sandwich, and their fried potatoes. When our food was ready, the chef himself brought the burgers out to us. Everything was seasoned perfectly and tasted so good. Eating a burger with fries on a hot, summer day just seemed right for someone like me, who's from the States. Along with the top notch food, the staff here is super friendly and welcoming. Even though we were tourists, we sure didn't feel like it. If I ever come back to Barcelona, I'm definitely coming back for another meal!

Little hole in the wall. We had a party of 7 and after a few beers decided to saunter down to this place after reading the reviews. They are closed from 5-7 and only have 10 stools so got here at 6:45. Had a cerveza next door and then the door opened up. OMG. The smell when the flat top fired up was unreal. These guys are artists! The Chivito was as advertised. Unbelievable! Pour group also had the pesto chicken and the burger with bleu cheese (rave reviews). Papas and beer and great service. Trust me. Go!! Updated - went back a 2nd time in October 2019. Friends LOVED their burgers. I went with the Chivito again. Nice beer selection including a few craft IPAs. Owner said they are keeping this location but opening another one that's much bigger. That's what happens when you so things right. He earned it - congrats!

Beef burger with lettuce, mayo, tomato and wine reduction onions. Side of yummy palates and small Estrella. nomnomnom

May L.

This little place is amazing and has lots of character. Met the owner/chef who is so friendly and patient. Menus are in Catalan so he sat and translated all to English for us. Most of what we saw were burgers and sandwiches. I tried the beef burger and my husband had the foie gras one. Both served with a side of patates - simply delicious! He took care to make an onion 'confit' with wine reduction, meat was cooked exactly as we ordered it (medium). Really enjoyed our meal - even more so with a small Estrella on the side. Though burgers aren't the first thing that comes to mind when you think Spanish food, this isn't a bad idea at all. The patates and Estrella helped give it a local flavour, and the burger themselves have been tweaked (sauces/bread used). Definitely recommend this to someone who is over eating tapas! Prices are great and the owner is super nice! Would be back if I returned to Barcelona :) thank you for a wonderful meal.

Kara W.

Wonderful, unique flavors. The word "sandwich" does not do it justice. Whether you get a burger or a chicken sandwich, you won't be disappointed, and you will leave happy and full. Keep in mind that there is very limited seating, so if you go at a busy time you'll have to get your order to go.

Mikey C.

We ordered the Chavito & Chicken & spicy sandwich forget the name but regardless, BOTH were amazing. The potatoes on the side...WILD. I'm from LA so we have a diff take on burgers. You definitely can't compare to In & Out, it's a totally different vibe. Barcelonas best hole in the wall joint period

One of the best meals and dining experiences we had in Barcelona! We happened upon Foc i Oli while out walking and decided to eat there. The young man behind the bar was very friendly when he greeted us and seated us at the bar. It is a very small restaurant so I recommend sitting at the bar or at the front window. The seats along the side face the wall and space is tight. The menu was small but very good and priced very well. I highly recommend Foc I Oli for a casual, well priced and enjoyable dining experience. read more

This place has such a small entrance that you might miss this place all together. Place looks very unimpressive from outside. On a sunny Saturday afternoon one my way to Camp Nou, I stopped by this place for lunch. The place is very very small. They have menu both in Catalan and English, so if you do not understand Catalan please do not hesitate to ask for the English menu. I ordered the "special' burger. I also ordered a glass of Estrella. The beer was served with glass of green olives, good start. Then came the burger and it looked sumptuous. The special was very very special. The combination of runny egg yolk and ground meat, was too good to be true. The hand cut potato chips were crunchy, salty, just perfect, the way I like. The staff was very friendly. So if you are in Barcelona and craving for some great burger, this is the place to go. read more

Tried finding an off the beaten path, non-tourist burger joint for the family. 2 miles in, my kids weren't happy to find we had to wait for 5 of the 12 seats in the house. The waiter was accommodating, served up some Fanta and cervesa while we waited about 10 minutes for seats, and we hung out on the street refreshing ourselves after the long walk. The recommended burgers and meat sandwiches did not disappoint and the potatoes were perfect. Great vibe and helpful waiter, but all eclipsed by the mind-blowing burgers on fresh rolls. Wish I could get this back in the states. The original Kuma's Corner in Chicago comes close, but these burgers aren't as big as Kuma's but seem perfectly prepared with just the right amount of cheese and salad on it. Very filling, but didn't feel like work finishing it. Will be back on the next trip to Barća. read more

Unlike Boqueria, there aren't that many vendors selling cooked foods/tapas/snacks. Instead, it seemed more like a place where locals did their food shopping.

They sell flowers and plants out front, and while I definitely didn't need any flowers, it was still nice to just look at them.

But sometimes the unnoticeable place could be the one that brings you surprise. It's a comfortable diner. The waitress was a local-friendly kind of girl, the manager lady was very nice too. I visited 2 days in a roll, had Pan Con Tomate, Crema Catalana, and wines of course. The food were quite authentic and yum. They offer tapas, entries, drinks and bakeries. A recommended place for travellers who stay in this area.

Contents of the bagel sandwiches were first rate - good lox, cheese and various vegetable accoutrements. The Everything Bagel did indeed have everything you'd expect on it. Alas, strictly speaking, by admittedly high NYC standards, it's not exactly a bagel - more of a bagel-shaped roll. I'm no baker, but I gather that the chewy texture comes from boiling them before baking. These were good as rolls, but they wouldn't last a minute in the city so nice, they named it twice.

Good selection, fresh produce, it was a good store, decent prices. I think they must have expanded into several buildings because you'd turn a corner and then there was another 90° turn in another direction with more stuff ! It was pretty cool exploring their space. They also had one of those European flat ground escalators that could take a shopping cart up and down as the store was two levels. I didn't need any help, but there were plenty of employees, stocking shelves, etc.

Was very hopeful after all the five star reviews and after being referred here by their wine shop across the street for local wine flights. Turns out they don't have flights, only do full glass pours (forget 7 or 9cl), and only 3 local wines open (a cava, a white, and a red). Cashier was very slow, detached, and seemed she preferred to be somewhere else. Some items are waaay past due date. This is a food tour tourist trap. Look elsewhere is you want real local fare.

My wife also loved their wine and got some to take home.

When I travel, I like spending some times just walking thru a local grocer. I had a cart and probably spent almost an hour here looking at the different types of wines, picos camperos and cheeses. I was perusing thru the deli counter and saw all types of meat and wanted to pick up some items at the counter. The lady at the counter started talking to me and I said my usual 'hola', I knew this conversation would go beyond that, so I think she started explaining the difference to me between Jamón Serrano and Jamón Ibérico. I didn't want to break the wallet so I took out my phone and used Google Translate to make sure I was getting some reasonable prices Jamón. After the store manager came out trying to figure out what I was asking, I did get what I was looking for twenty minutes later (see photo of that vacuum packed goodness!). I brought it back to the room and took the rest with me to the Sagrada Família. I recommend checking this market out if you eat nearby at Cerveceria Catalana.

Foc I Olí delivers an exceptional gourmet burger experience with standout creations like the Juana and Chivito. The croquetas de cocido were a comforting nod to traditional Spanish fare. Chef Juan takes great pride in his work. This restaurant is a true gem and a delightful departure from typical Spanish cuisine. We had to squeeze in an extra visit before leaving Barcelona. read more
