Eating Out: Places to Eat in Barcelona

Local produce in Barcelona influences the regional menus greatly and the high quality of ingredients always ensures that dishes are both tasty and attractive, with many restaurants in Barcelona serving traditional Catalan cuisine, often made with olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, meats, fish and seasonal vegetables. Tapas bars are always popular in the city, where small snacks and nibbles accompany local wines.

Although some restaurants only feature menus in Catalan or Spanish, many central eateries offer foreign-language menus. Barcelona's restaurant scene has evolved greatly over recent years, with the city's rich Catalan cuisine being influenced by both international dishes and experienced chefs. Asian and oriental restaurants were once just a small percentage of the city's cuisine, with exotic dishes now commonplace all over Barcelona.
