Bacoa Burger Universitat | Hamburguesería en Barcelona — Restaurant in Barcelona

A Five-Star Burger Oasis in the Heart of Barcelona

From the moment I stepped into Bacoa Universitat, its luminous, artfully designed interior set me up for something special. The rustic-industrial styling, creative posters, and welcoming vibe made the experience feel just right.

Then, La Bacoa burger arrived. Stacked high, juicy, and exploding with flavor—bacon, Manchego, cheddar, pickles, and mustard bringing together a symphony of taste in every bite. The meat, sourced locally with attention and care, was the star—rich, perfectly cooked, and satisfying in its gourmet simplicity.

The fries—golden, hand-cut, and delightfully crispy—paired with house-made sauces, pushed this meal into legendary territory. And alongside, a Coke Zero offered refreshingly crisp contrast, balancing the richness like a perfected pairing.

Design-wise, Bacoa blends playful functionality with thoughtful aesthetic touches—from chairs that hold your bag, to burger holders, to colorful poster walls—all handcrafted, giving the place personality and charm.

Coupled with excellent value, prompt service, and a beloved local reputation (9/10 on Foursquare, “best burgers in the city” mentions, and consistent Reddit praise), this meal wasn’t just eating—it was an experience. Bacoa Universitat delivers a burger memory that begs a...

I don't feel that I was treated fairly by an employee in Bacoa. When I was about to order, a server spoke in Spanish to me, so I asked him to speak in English saying " English please." He changed his facial expressions and looked mad. He didn't smile at all while taking/checking my order and didn't respond any word when I said "thank you" after I ordered and was given the round thing that vibrates to let you know the order is ready. When the round thing vibrated, I walked to him to take my burger and gave him back the round thing. He took the round thing, but didn't give me my burger. He didn't talk to me at all but chatted with his colleagues. I had to wait for about a couple of more minutes in front of him. He must have known my burger is ready in the bag. I still don't understand why he didn't give me my burger right away. It's the only unpleasant experience that I had during my trip to Spain last week. The taste of burger? I can't assess it properly as I ate the burger about an hour later at the airport. I wouldn't miss it though. Wow...I just found out that they bring the burger to the customer when/after the round thing vibrates. I didn't even have to go to him to take my burger. He should've brought it to me. Did he make me stand near the counter on purpose (because I asked him to speak...

I went to this Restaurant twice when I visited Barcelona for the second time , I stayed in Barcelona for only 2 nights so imagine how good the can be to make me go there for two nights back to back when I was just staying for two nights ! Unfortunately each time I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture ! I ordered A Classic Burger first night and for the second night I ordered a Manchega burger which had caramelized onion and cheese which was so delicious ! I ordered my burgers each time with fries which were very fresh and I tried the truffle sauce / truffle mayo sauce for the second night which was had a very unique taste and it was a perfect combo for the fries ! The sauces that they put on table are so tasty and the hot one is really hot but if you like a real hot sauce you should definitely try their hot sauces ! The burger’s meat was juicy and it was cooked perfectly ! This place gonna be in my top 10 burger restaurants of all time and when ever I go back to Barcelona I’m gonna go there and dine each night ! Gracias Mucho por tu...
