About Barcelona Food Experience
Barcelona Food Experience is an independent guide to eating in Barcelona, created by me, Maria, a Barcelona-based food photographer. I started BFE in 2014 and have lived in the city for over 19 years, spending much of that time exploring its restaurants, bars, bakeries and neighborhood spots, from long-standing local favorites to new openings.
Everything you see here is regularly updated as Barcelona changes. I keep track of the places I recommend, revisit them when I can, and remove spots that no longer live up to it.
The site is for visitors who want to eat well without falling into tourist traps, and for locals and expats looking for new ideas, or maybe just a reminder of where to go next.
