🇪🇸 Barcelona Food Guide: 9 Local-Approved Spots
📍 La Cova Fumada "No-frills seafood haven by the beach!" 🏖️ Fresh catch daily (opens 9 AM, sells out fast—go early!). No menu? Point at what locals are eating! 🦐 Cash only, Spanish-only staff. 📍 El Xampanyet "Standing-room-only tapas legend!" 🍤 Must-try: Langostines (sweet flame-seared prawns) + Cava. Vibe: Jam-packed, loud, authentic. No reservations! 📍 La Flauta vs. Cerveceria Catalana Both serve iconic foie gras & beef toast. La Flauta: Fewer tourists. Cerveceria: More variety (figs with jamón = divine). 📍 Bellebuon "Better Italian than Italy?!" 🍝 Black truffle gnocchi (freshly shaved!) + lasagna. Tiny—book via WhatsApp! 📍 La Pasta Lab "Handmade pasta & cheese heaven" 🧀 Daily fresh pasta with creative sauces. 📍 Bubita Sangria Bar "Picasso-approved sangria!" 🍷 Near Picasso Museum—try modern twists (boozy/non-boozy). 📍 Salts Terrassa Bar (Montjuïc) "Secret sunset spot with city views!" 🌇 Rooftop poolside bar—Sagrada Família in the distance. 📍 Orient Express Cocktail Bar "Drinks delivered by mini-train!" 🚂 Themed train compartments + "station" area. Book the train section for full experience. #BarcelonaEats #SpanishFood #TravelGuide #NoTouristTraps
