MORE INFO ABOUT THIS VIDEO 😃

Barcelona is an amazing place to eat! But here’s the thing - it can also be hard to eat well in Barcelona because it’s so touristy. There are just so many options, and lots of them literally are tourist traps. But happily there are also so many incredible places to eat and delicious things to taste and drink if you just know where to look.
In this video I take you to 10 of my favourite places to eat 10+ incredible bites. And we visit 3 famous neighbourhoods across the entire video. We go to the Born, the Gothic Quarter and La Barceloneta - three neighbourhoods that you have to visit, and we’ll eat delicious food in each!
And a number of places are places we visit on Devour Tour’s food tours - including our Tastes & Traditions of Barcelona Food Tour and our Tapas, Taverns & History Food Tour
Also, once you’ve watched this, be sure to check out my playlist of Barcelona videos - including my epic 9-stop Barcelona Tapas Crawl.
So, where do we go?
1. Granja Dulcinea for an incredible suizo (chocolate and cream!)
2. Mercado Santa Caterina: We visit Bar Joan for a fry-up breakfast and cava and Antonio Iberics for a fantastic selection of cured meats. Plus, we visit a stall for delicious escalivada.
3. Historic Casa Gispert for a selection of wood-roasted almonds, and chocolate treats
4. Hofmann Pastisseria for an insane marscapone croissant
5. La Campana for delicious turrón and horchata
6. Xarcutería La Pineda for vermouth and a selection of potato chips with Espinaler sauce, cheeses and salt-cured anchovies
7. Bodega La Palma for patatas bravas and red wine
8. Can Paixano for a delicious butifarra sandwich and also a pork loin and cheese sandwhich - all knocked back with their famous cava
9. La Cova Fumada for a bomba (it was invented here!), grilled squid and grilled sardines
10. Can Ramonet for a delicious seafood fideuá and drinking from the porrón!
Salut!

I loved making this EPIC food tour video! And my god I was stuffed by the end! Which of the 10 stops do you most want to visit? 🥂🥂
La pineda looks great! Quick question James, have you ever heard of/visited Aldea del Obispo, a little village in salamanca near Portugal?
We have already visited most of them with our dear friend Dolores who grew up in Barcelona, and now want to visit the other 3 we seem to have missed. Great job you two! :)
James & Yolly, La Cova Fumda Is by far the best most unique, flavorful, freshest, locals Seafood restraunt in Barcelenita or Barcelona for that matter. Astounding Squid and Octopus! How did you EVER get a table? Looks like you were there in afternoon... very lucky! We stood at Bar with "elbows out" . You were spot on . this place is the reason we travel to your wonderful Country... GREAT WORK!! YOU ARE AND YOLLY THE BEST! I still have bag of La Bomba rice for Paella. My invite is still open for you a Yolly to visit us here in States you will need to bring the paella pan… Cheers!
Never heard of it I'm afraid!
Awesome!
I'm a catalan living in BCN for 28 years and I approve this video ! ;)
Can you tell me how is the weather in December? I'm from California and want to pack accordingly lol thank you
@@karinachavez2425 same lol ..i"ll be there next week and so confused about the weather
@@adore7668 hopefully he replies lol have fun and enjoy your trip :)
@@karinachavez2425 12-18ºC, no rain but a bit windy for now
Karina Chavez Just like california dont worry there is no snow but it can be a little bit cold,wear jackets and thats it:)
Here another Barcelonian confirming all this places are legit the best representation of my country and my city without any doubt. In fact my grandpa use to walk me to many of those places back in the 80's.
That's the way we eat,and drink.
My very honest congrats for the video.
Thanks, Oriol!
We just got back from Barcelona and we did our own private food tour by following this video. We did 7/10 spots. This was a wonderful highlight to our trip. We enjoyed everything we tried. The last one was fantastic with authentic paella. Thank you so much for putting this together. My trip to Barcelona was amazing!
Catalan lad here, and I must say this is a really good guide on what Barcelona really is for locals, turists often leave feeling like they were lied to before coming here, but the kind of places you've shown on the video are actually really really good. If you're coming to Barcelona soon, go to this places and you'll surely enjoy your trip!
Thank you!
I wish I had seen this video before our recent trip to Barcelona. I can’t say the food was terrible, just not memorable. I would prefer memorable
As a lover of all things Spain, I want to tell you both that my wife and I absolutely cannot get enough of you guys. Your enthusiasm about what you're doing is apparent and we both look forward to all of your new posts. I must admit that sometimes my wife will say to me "really we're watching Spain revealed again? We have watched it at least a million times." To my reply...."Yes and we're going to watch it again for the millionth and one time!" Then we both laugh and say how much we wish we were back in Spain again. Thank you for all you do and when we are in Spain again maybe we can all meet and have a feast together. Adios.
Thank you for being generous with all these places! Love, love, love the truly local eats! Hope to visit Barcelona one day soon
This is so fantastic guide! I am so happy and excited. I have noted these places and will check them out when I go to my Barcelona trip. Keep doing your videos with the same enthusiasm, devotion and appreciation for the food, culture and atmosphere.
Just got back from Barcelona. Wish I had seen this earlier. Aside from the actual food suggestions (getting something traditional and unique for breakfast every day seemed almost impossible), the knowledge of the history of these places is amazing. Thank you!
Wow you guys have the most interesting food show of anyone on UA-cam... I love that you’re so up and passionate about what you do. Both you and your wife make an excellent team, I never get tired of watching you.
I use to spend a lot of time in New Zealand over the years as I lived in Australia for 25 years, I have dual citizenship USA and Oz.
I’ll traveled to 43 countries, but I still haven’t made it to Spain yet, I hope to do that in the fall or by winter. When I do I want to take the food tour with you, can’t wait. God Bless! ❤️
I want to thank you so much!! Thanks to your videos my trip to Barcelona was perfect. I study your tips and chose Bodega la Palma for my first night of tapas. It was amazing!! It made my day. Continue your amazing work. It help a lot of people that want to visit Spain/Catalonia like a local. 👏👏🍷... Thank you so much 🙏
I have loved Barcelona for 30 years but there are places on this tour I have never visited. Now I need to go again. One of your best. Thanks as always.
Thanks mate - enjoy your next trip back!
As a Barcelona native, I want to say Kudos to you for portraying this great variety of places and foods and for the language notes (as a translator and language lover, I loved this and learnt a couple of things from this video). I have huge respect for you and Yoli and the work you do.
PS Your brother has great sense of humour. Poor tigers 😅👏.
THANKYOU so much for your fascinating food tour. I’m from Scotland and on holiday with my 13 year old daughter. I was keen not to fall into tourist traps and try to give her an authentic Barcelona experience. I visited 3 of these food stops and wow were they amazing. I live how you added the history and culture of these places. Your enthusiasm is brilliant!
As a Barcelonan, I am very impressed!! Well done!
Thank you!
Thank you so much, James. You made my Barcelona experience amazing by posting these amazing videos. Mucho gracias!!!
Another highly enjoyable vlog, you guys just get better and better! Great content and chemistry, a joy to watch, keep them coming..
Thank you mate!
I love this city. Can't have enough of it. Those narrow streets are amazing.
What about the rudest people on the continent.
You go anywhere in Europe and as soon as you are in Spain you notice the Spanish people themselves are so rude!
It's instant
@@ryanbritain3428 we are still nicer than the french
I can see that you had a bad experience! lol We are not rude, we are direct and we just don´t like to be fake like others (al estilo ingles). You don´t like it, stop traveling to Spain then. But if you still do travel to Spain , please don´t forget to do your favourite sport (balconing).
@@ikelos8190🤣🤣 well that’s not hard
Love this video so much. Not only did we get some great food recommendations but some great history lessons. Gracias!
Hey. I am heading back to Spain this year and I am just getting some tips from your fabulous channel for Barcelona and San Sebastian. I discovered your page last year during my research for my Madrid trip. Thanks for being so current on all things Spain!
Thank you Denise!!! Have an amazing trip!
I've been living in Barcelona the last 8 months, this is exactly what i needed!
My wife is from alicante and the moment you mentioned turron she got happy lol. She is very proud of it and brings it back to the states for people to try it
So if, say, a couple were in Alicante where would they go to get Turron in the home of turron??
By far the best video I’ve found on food in Barcelona - a great video on where to experience the culture through food and places the locals go. I’ll definitely go to a majority of the places on my trip to Spain this year. Gracias!
Spain is a visit I want to make . I love trying different foods that are not tourist traps. thanks for the recommendations.
Ohhhh man I was waiting for another episode. My weekend is complete. Thank you James!!!
Thank you for watching!
I absolutely love your videos, because they're so informative! Whether it's food or place, I appreciate that you provide the history of everything! Thank you for these incredible videos! Keep them coming! All the best!
Thanks KT!
I LOVE Barcelona! What a wonderful city.
This video is pure gold! Thank you!
All of these places and the dishes you tried look fantastic! My husband and I are heading to Barcelona at the end of August. They have all been added to the list of must-tries!
Enjoy!!!
I’m always amazed by your pronunciation. As Catalan can tell it’s one of the best I ever heard on YT. And heard a lot! Congrats mate!
Me gusta la pasión que pones en tus comentarios, consigues atraparnos. Felicidades.
Gracias!
what a beautiful video..thank for sharing
As a fellow kiwi coming to Barcelona late December early January, I was stoked to find your Spain Revealed channel. So informative and very well put together. Thanks James, you're doing a fab job, keep up the good work!
Awesome Lee-Ann! Best sure to download my free tapas guide! link.spainrevealed.com/free-tapas
Love your videos! They are very helpful and it is giving me great tips about awesome restaurants. I can't wait to try them. Muchas gracias!
This video is such a party! Love the energy, guys!! :)
I really love your videos, James! I have my notifications on..watch them all! I hope that in year or two I will be able to go live in Spain. It's my dream land.☺
Thank you so much - good luck for your dream!
I’m making my first trip over the Atlantic and we land in Barcelona for 4 days before meeting up with family in Southern France.
Your videos, and my husband and I have watched many of them, are incredible in how they make us want to vusit, and eat/drink everything you mention!
This video especially will help us have a fabulous time, I’m sure!
Thanks and maybe our paths will cross Oct. 19-22/19.
Great Video you two! See you in 10 days for the Tastes and Traditions Tour! I'm so excited!!
Can't wait to have you on tour!
Thanks for the great video guide, we're arriving again on Thursday and can't wait to try all of these places
I never had problems finding great food in Barcelona. I just followed the locals.
If you see someone with cargo pants walk the opposite direction...lol

Super cool, we are going to Barcelona on Wednesday and doing the tapas , taverns and historic tour, so excited. Thanks to you and Jolli Alloli
Enjoy the tour!
The more I watch your videos the more I love our beautiful country. Cheers!!!
You are the first vloger that I noticed actually shares the history of each place. Also, you're not annoying where you taste something and talk about it for ages. Thank you from a time sensitive New Yorker. P.S. you're new followers.
Oh man, how I wish I was there right now! Brings back so many memories :)
Thank you guys,
Going to Barcelona in August and this video helps.!
Have a great trip!
Really enjoy all the history you show in your trips thank you keep it up ♥️
Good and useful video also for local people. Thanks to show all that places, I didn’t know almost any place!
As a Barcelonian. I can confirm all the places. Good tips!
Pro tip: Put escalivada on a big toast and 4 anchovis on top, classic.
I love that!
@@epg8638 pagès* 😁
Thank you so very much. I am so excited to surprise my husband with these wonderful local tappas places. You have given me such a wonderful education. I am so grateful that you gave ideas for multiple neighborhoods. I am more prepared and so grateful.
Enjoy Suzi!

Amazing. My next trip to BCN I'm going to follow in your footsteps. Every single one. Tnx! Greetings from Norway. Kind regards, TE
Hey! Te vi con chicote en "te lo vas a comer", agradecerte tu trabajo hacia los turistas que visitan España, por la buena imagen que haces que se lleven del país, un saludo y gracias. Tu canal debería gozar de apoyo institucional, pero te queremos en España. Un saludo.
Gracias!!!
FINALLY! Barcelona's best hidden food treasures have been highlighted! You found so many of our favorites----- but now they aren't secret any more! *tear* I can only hope that your 36,000 viewers don't all come at once--- 6 at a time please! Thank you for doing a great job on the video, though. :)
Haha - thanks Johnnie!
Thank you for the tips! I tried half of your list and was very happy! Thank you!
Thank you James, good to have found you. I'll certainly be back for more.
I'm heading to Andalucia for three weeks at the end of December, so I'm binge-watching all your videos. I love them. I'm so much more knowledgeable now! Thank you
So glad they're a help!! Have a great trip!
I am living in Malaga, so let me know if you need any info :)
@@underthespanishsky6637 We loved Malaga! Working our way down the coast and now in Estepona. Thank you Under for the generous offer!
I just found your channel. It's amazing! Although I'm portuguese, I love Spain, I miss being there. In Barcelona, you must visit Quimet i Quimet!
This video is stunning the energy the life you bith bring to it bravo!!!
Found your channel and love it! New subbie from Nanaimo BC Vancouver Island Canada.
Awesome - welcome!
Hola amigos, I love "horchata" and "chufas".
Saluditos
Thank you for this video. We are going to Barcelona this August and this really help us. :)
Oh my god your descriptions of the food that my mouth is watering. You are to cncise and explain every so clearly. Great job!
Essential viewing for planning my next campaign to Catalonia. Thank you!
Enjoy!
Superb vlog, Preserve the great job. Thanks a lot.
Thank you!
Definitely going to take this self food tour! Thank you!
Leaving for Barcelona tomorrow and can't wait. We've watched a bunch of your videos and love them! We've been to Madrid before and these videos definitely gave us great insight. This time we're doing a week in Barcelona followed by a 5 days in San Sebastian and hoping all these places are currently still open. Any tips are appreciated btw, but mainly we're a bit anxious to see how much things have changed. Love, love, love Spain - perfect fit for me 😊
Ahh so that's how you use the "porrón" :D Wish someone had filled us in on that haha. Great video as always!
Those calamari had me drooling...so simple but they looked so good.
So simply and so delicious!
Wow I can't believe I remembered to share this just now, but just before covid became a thing, we visited Barcelona in 2020 and used your tips as guidance. We listed all the places, planned each day's attractions and routes and between them visited all these places for breakfast, lunch or dinner, it was 100% worth it! Not only for the food and drinks which were amazing, but the atmosphere was very important for a great Barcelona experience. People won't make a mistake following your advices, thank you!
FANTASTICO. My favourite place and of course my favourite subject. Excelent stuff guys. Thank you
Thanks Mica!
Your accent has become amazing, just wow!
Poor tigers ha ha. I have been to Barcelona about 20 times because I fell in love with the city about 10 years ago. Can't wait to try some of your suggestions. Before I tried the fideua I could not understand why the locals got so excited when a bar had the dish. Gosh, it's only noodles. Then I tried it in Valencia. Sooo rich. Thanks for another inspiring video both of you :)
+Yve Eriksson Actually fideuà comes from València, like every rice or noodle dish cooked in a paella.
@@Ferocar Yes I know.

Awesome!!
Nice!! another reason to visit Barcelona again to try all these places
Enjoy John!
My family and I are taking a cruise in November and we plan to stay 3 days in Barcelona before we embark for the cruise. I can't wait to try the Mascarpone croissant!!!! Thank you for sharing this video and looking forward to more videos :)
Love your videos, brings me closer to home while discovering new things.
Thank you!
When a food tour in Valencia?? Best paella, fideua and horchata spots please!
yes! I was in Valencia last year and I loved it. he should also talk about Fartons!
@@matthewkoslow3221 the valencian version of melindros
Best arroces are in Alicante. Best paella chef is Maria José Román, known as safron qeen around the World. In Alicante there some rice restaurants with michelín awards. You will find Best tradicional valencian paella in Valencia, but other kind of rice recipes like senyoret, negro, a banda, Alicante is the place, all those recipes known as paella despite they arent, come from there. Anyway there a lot spots in Valencia where a good rice recipes.
Great job! You picked some excellent spots. These are the kind of places that made me fall in love with Barcelona. I go nuts for turron de yema tostada. It's clearly the best of all the turrons. I did cringe a bit when you said that Mercat de Santa Caterina was in the Born, but i'm very much a stickler when it come to geography even though I know it's not always a good look. Keep up the great work!
don't be such a stickler, froggy ;)
Simply Amazing ... Simplemente asombrosa
Nice review, Thanks for this
Hi James,
I would like to say THANK YOU! for your video. I just went to Barcelona a couple of weeks ago for 4 days, and I followed your food tour over that time. I ended up going to number 1,2,3,4,5,7,10
As a vegetarian, It it was most of the ones you suggested. I must say, I definitely enjoyed each stop! None of them seemed to be tourist, extremely busy or extremely expensive. I also ordered the same dishes you had recommended, and i must say your were spot on for each one of them.
My friend went to Barcelona and followed it as well on my recommendation.
I would just like to thank you as you make my trip to Barcelona amazing in terms of food due to this video!
P.S. I also loved your Gothic Tour Ten stops as well.
Thank you - so glad the tips were a help!
I am going to Barcelona in April. Can’t wait.
Sandy Minor you will love it! i love living heree
Not anymore hahahaaaa
Buscando información de Barcelona para mi viaje, me encontré por casualidad con vuestro magnífico canal y ha sido todo un descubrimiento. Me ha venido genial para los días que he pasado allí y han sido todo un acierto los sitios que recomendáis. Mil gracias por este vídeo y por todos los demás, son súper interesantes. ¡Gracias pareja!
Can't wait to try the wine-cured cheese! Fantastic video. Thanks!!
00:25 i sat at that exact table in that tapas bar in Barceloneta! XD
Did you get a stiffy 🤣
The "adéu" at the ending instead of adios was a nice touch. Catalan is a rich and beautiful language. I hope more foreigners try to learn it.
I hope you stop stealing valencian food.
Hi Yoli and James! Arrived today in Barcelona. Can’t wait to explore places and try food you recommended. Muchas gracias, Askat
Awesome video guys!
Just booked our trip for April of 2020, one day in Barcelona before boarding our cruise ship, so I'm watching all the To-Do videos to try and maximize our 24 to 30 hours in the city. This was probably one of the best videos I've seen, of course the food and wine looked amazing but the production and the way you delivered the information was top notch. Well done and thank you for this. Hitting the subscribe button...now!
In 2020? And you are looking at what to do videos now for 24h that you will be there?
@@JoseSanchez-nw1hc yep, we're pretty excited for the trip...been dreaming of this for years!
22:02 My jaw drop out of awe, and my drool just drip on my shirt.
man, .........you do this to me every time, how could you.
haha
I'm travelling to barcelona tomorrow and I'll definitely check these places, thanks !
