Any carnivores out there? Here is a list of a few of my favourite restaurants for a good steak and tasty meat in Barcelona. Let me know if there is a restaurant you would like to add to the list!

Bardeni El Meatbar - Caldeni

Bardeni isn’t a steakhouse, but if you love meat, you’re in for a treat. Chef Dani Lechuga explores every angle of meat preparation, and the result is surprising, satisfying, and seriously good. The Denito is a must, but truthfully, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

The space has plenty of personality, much like the chef behind it, and bookings are essential: the door stays closed unless you have a reservation. Read my review here.

Carrer València 452-454 (Eixample Dreta).

Maison Limousin Steak House

Maison Limousin Steak House specializes in Limousin meat, but there’s plenty more to choose from when it comes to types of meat and cuts. During winter they also offer fondue, including the meat version.

Maison Limousin, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 603 (Eixample Esquerra).

Pirineu en Boca

This restaurant specializes in grass-fed meat from the Pyrenees, and it’s pretty amazing..! The meat comes from small producers that work towards sustainability. They also have a butcher shop where you can buy organic meat to take home with you, or even choose a specific cut and have it prepared for you in the kitchen. Read my review of Pirineu en Boca here.

Carrer de Girona 17 (Eixample Dreta).

The Ranch Smokehouse

It might look like a chain restaurant at first glance, but this family-owned restaurant is on a mission to become the best BBQ in Europe. They smoke everything in-house, and prepare everything else from scratch, too. All the recipes and techniques have been prepared by a guy from California who has been competing in BBQ for 11 (!) years. The meat is organic and the prices are very accessible.

Ronda Universitat 20 (Plaça Catalunya).

9 Reinas

This Argentinian restaurant is a classic in Barcelona, and does not disappoint when you are looking for a good steak. It's a bit on the expensive side.

Carrer de València 267. (Eixample Dreta).

La Carassa

Here the specialty is meat fondues. This means you'll get a plate full of different kinds of raw meat that you'll dip into hot oil. In addition to this you have 7 different sauces to enjoy your meat with. The place is really cute, it reminds me of a ski lodge.

Carrer de Brosolí 1 (Born).

Parking Sótano

The owners behind cool Parking Pizza have created a basement space below one of their Pizza restaurants, and there they serve steak for two and a number of sides and sauces. The space is beautiful.

Passatge de Marimon, 5 (Eixample Esquerra).

Lomo Alto

Go to this steakhouse for premium meats that have been aged on location. Excellent steaks are guaranteed here. Downstairs (Lomo Bajo) there is a more casual restaurant that serves fun dishes like a steak tartar roll and a supreme meat burger.

Carrer d’Aragó 283-285 (Eixample Dreta).

1881 per Sagardi

This restaurant has plenty of history and uses premium quality meats for amazing grilled T-bone steaks. It is located inside the History Museum of Catalunya.

Plaça de Pau Vila 3 (Born).

Restaurante Solomillo

Already the name (sirloin steak) gives an indication that meat is in focus here. You can customize your preferences all the way from the cut of the meat to your sides and sauces. They have a nice patio.

C/ de Mallorca, 251, (Eixample Esquerra)

Can Xurrades

This restaurant used to be in Gracia and we frequented it quite often, but they moved some time ago and I need to visit their new location asap. They serve different kinds of grilled meats but they specialise in a kind of local exquisite beef that you find only in a handful of restaurants in Spain. They also serve steak tartar if that's your thing. Their dessert menu is endless. It's a great place to go with your family and just sit and eat for hours.

Carrer de Casanova 212 (Eixample Esquerra).

Carlota Akaneya

This restaurant serves a Japanese barbecue and for the meat nerds out there: they serve Kobe A5 prime meat which is very difficult to come across in Barcelona and Spain.

Carrer del Pintor Fortuny 32 (Raval).

Filigrana

This restaurant located inside the Catalonia hotel specializes in grilled meats and rice dishes, and the quality is always top-notch. They choose the absolute best ingredients, so you will not be disappointed with your steak. Read my review of Filigrana here.

Carrer de Tarragona 99, Barcelona (Plaça Espanya).

Can Valles

Very local and very authentic, with a good meat options too. Book well ahead, as it's very popular.

Carrer d’Aragó 95 (Eixample Esquerra).

Maison Carne

A French affair where you pay for the meat by the kilo, and the quality is top notch. Meat-wise, they only do chuletón (T-bone steak), with a set price per kilo. They’re a chain restaurant, present in 8 cities in France and Spain.

Carrer de Mallorca 204 (Eixample Esquerra).

Mr. Porter

The successful Entourage Group from Amsterdam brings this steakhouse to the Sir Victor Hotel in Barcelona. It’s not the cheapest, but well worth the money. Read my review here.

Carrer del Rosellón 265 (Eixample Dreta).

Carnal Steakhouse

Here you find all the cuts, breeds, and aging you’re looking for. They open every day, and is a perfect location to go with a group.

C/Enric Granados, 52 (Eixample Esquerra).
Steak House Barcelona

This Argentinian steak house offers different cuts of meat, and also Parilladas which is perfect for sharing (they also do individual ones), with different cuts on one board. They also have five milanesas, and carnivorous starters. The interior is cozy.

Carrer de Mallorca, 266 (Eixample Dreta).

This list does not cover all steak restaurants in the city, not even close, but they are places that I would go to when I'm feeling carnivorous.

I'm also a huge fan of a dish called solomillo con foie. It's beef sirloin with foie gras on top, and when done right it's magnificent. My favorite places for this are:

Vaso de Oro

This little tapas restaurant in Barceloneta is always packed so you might have to eat standing up, but it's worth it. Their solomillo con foie has some onion in it too, and it melts in your mouth. Read more on Vaso de Oro here.
