Mercat de la Boqueria is the largest market in Barcelona, but we found it too crowded and busy.

Bar Lobo

One of the best meals we had. This place serves traditional Galician cuisine and has generous servings, making it perfect for sharing with family. The seafood, in particular, was to die for. I'd definitely come back here next time!
O'Retorno

Bar La Parada

Great paellas. The place served elevated Catalonian food that doesn't feel pretentious, in a modern, beautiful space. Come here to try squid ink paella and other classics.
Telefèric Barcelona Palo Alto

Another one of our favorites on our trip to Barcelona. Don't sleep on the tomato salad. It sounds simple, but it’s one of the best things on the menu.
El Xampanyet

Best place to eat octopus! Their portions are great for sharing as well.

The best gluten-free pastries we had. We came back here 5+ times.
The chocolate kitchen | Sin gluten | chök

This place is quite small, so it gets full quickly.
Hanai Vegana BORN - Gluten Free & Vegan Bakery

Another great vegan bakery on the list. The donuts and coffee were amazing! The prices are also cheaper than most cafes here in Barcelona.
Gea The Healthy Bakery

Tiny cafe that most tourists may overlook—we didn't and it was a good decision, I must say! Their cheesecakes were out of this world. The kids especially loved them!
