About Barcelona Food Experience

Barcelona Food Experience is a curated, independently run guide to eating in Barcelona. I’ve lived here for over 18 years and spend most of my time exploring the city’s restaurants, bars, bakeries, and neighborhood spots, from long-standing local favorites to new openings.

Everything you see here is regularly updated as the city changes. I keep track of places I genuinely recommend, revisit them when I can, and remove spots that no longer live up to it.

This 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.
