    This is my favorite burger place in BCN. Great food, great atmosphere. I love it. At Oval you have the possibility to make your own burger, which is pretty nice. However, I usually end up with or ordering their standard pulled-pork burger. At the picture attached you find one of the burgers I made on my own. I hope you'll enjoy the place as much as I have done.

    Landed in Barcelona at 1pm, hungry and tired. Where to eat? I opened up Yelp and saw the great reviews on this burger restaurant so why not? I know Barcelona is the city of tapas and paellas, but I just wanted something simple and filling. Headed to this place and ordered a burger, which you have to decide yourself what you want in it (nice). The burger itself is just what you expect from a good burger, juicy and flavorful at the same time. One only thing that bothered me was the water, I did not know that "just water" as a drink meant being serve a water bottle at 2 euros. Lesson learned. Overall, good place for burger fix when you get tired of paellas or tapas!

    For starters we tried the cheese fries and it was very good but Loved the burger and the beer they have there!! The staff is super friendly and the food was fresh! Also try their cheese cake it was delicious

    Just what we needed after day of travel & a little a little Passeig de Gràcia shopping. Good beer selection, great options for creating your own Barcelona burger, from protein to bread to toppings. Staff nice and efficient. Thanks!

    Looks nice but really dry

    Oval has an awesome selection of toppings which I really appreciate. I had the brioché bun and the regular beef. The bun was way too big and really dry. The beef even tasted kind of "fake" definitely not how it should taste. There's a similar place nearby called Barcoa which is kind of the same idea but a lot more delicious and even cheaper.

    A custom made double burger with nacho plate on the side! Will be back again tomorrow!!

    I've eaten a whole lot of burgers around the world, but this is totally f***ing amazing! Perfect burgers and the nachos as a side order is a must! The guacamole is heavenly!

    We built our own burger and had the cheese fries to share.

    We were really craving a burger and this place hit the spot. We were greeted by the friendly staff and immediately seated. I love that this spot does not have an enormous menu and they just keep it simple.. burgers and drinks. Our burgers were cooked perfectly and the sauces were on the side which made it even better. I will definately be coming back on my next trip to Barcelona.

    My monster veggie burger with fries and a beer
    Alexandra S.

    This place was amazing! This restaurant is a custom made to order burger bar. They give you a sheet and you just check and select the toppings you want. I'm vegetarian so I custom made the best veggie burger I had in a while. The fries were delicious and seasoned to perfection. The food came out relatively fast, the waitress was nice and helped my travel partner by giving her an English menu (since my Spanish was a bit rusty). The price was fair considering the portions and quality of the meal. The restaurant itself has a very cool and sleek design. I would definitely recommend this place to someone who wants to break away from the tapas and wants a good made to order burger.

    Burger!

I wanted a good old fashioned burger and this place is THE PLACE to get it in España! Bacoa was everything I ever wanted and needed in a burger at this time in my life. We went to the location on Ferran, which is close by La Rambla. If it's your first time there, you fill out a piece of paper to place your ordered. You check what kind of meat, bread, sauce, sides, fries or extra sauce you want. I ordered the classic burger with bacon, caramelized onions and their truffle sauce with a side of skinny fries. Absolutely delicious!! This burger reminded me of Super Duper burger in San Francisco and that's saying something because I hold that place in high regard! The meat was cooked to medium rare perfection and tasty - meaning it was seasoned well. The caramelized onions added the right amount of sweetness and the bacon was bacon, lol. I can't get over the truffle sauce and how well it paired with the burger as a whole. I feel like the sauce helped to elevate the burger into amazingness. The fries were hot and crispy when they came out and not over salted. And it doesn't hurt that most of it is organic! I wish I had more space to order one of their desserts but I didn't, womp womp. If you have a chance to eat a burger in Spain, don't go to Burger King, go here!

    OK, let's try to keep the hyperbole down, but I will say it's easily one of the best hamburgers…read moreI've ever had. And then she brought out this chocolate cheesecake. Not the caramel- the chocolate one. I didn't try that. But the chocolate cheesecake was absolutely amazing. La Cehtral has a wonderful hip vibe to it, the people coming in are always happy, and they seem to leave very satisfied. Nicki, our waitress, doesn't serve in a pure function as a waitress because you order and pay online, or your order with golf pencils and a Spanish or English menu. But I would recommend you use the QR code, because it gives you a few more options, like cooking the burger medium or well, and things like adding an egg are included online. I don't know if you have the ability to use the picture I posted here of the QR code, but that would allow you to look at the menu and see the current prices. But be careful not to order unless you're sitting in the restaurant - understand that the QR code is keyed to that wood block, which in this case has the number three on it and that's what she uses to deliver the food to your table.

The storefront is bright and welcoming and the inside is the same. The workers spoke English and gave us multiple ways to order.

Overall, a great change of pace if you're tired of tapas when in Barcelona.

We grabbed the only table open when we arrived at 1 on a Monday afternoon. We saw a Cava Sangria (a first) and had to try-light and delicious!

The pork belly marinated in lime was tasty but the fresh Mackerel stole the show! The Truffled eggs with foie and mushrooms was finished table-side and was amazing. We missed that the Cuttlefish had squid ink-no matter, so light and exquisite-only complaint would be to have more cuttlefish. Service was engaged and friendly from start to finish.
