Besides being a cultural hotspot with its historical buildings and unique city vibes, you’ll also find some innumerable cheap eats in Barcelona<\/a>. You\u2019ll be surprised to find that even the more expensive restaurants are accessible through their lunch menus or \u201cmenu del dia\u201d, which often is comprised of 3 courses, plus a drink and coffee at a cost of around \u20ac10 – \u20ac15. If you don\u2019t see it advertised, ask for this by name and usually you’ll be directed to a hand-written chalkboard in the corner.\u00a0\u00a0To make your job easier while travelling, I’ve constructed a list (from experience) with my personal faves for the best cheap eats in Barcelona. Enjoy and you’re welcome in advance.<\/p>\n

1. Chivuos<\/h2>\n

Chivuos serves street food prepared with a lot of care and technique. Their pulled pork sandwich (spoiler alert)\u00a0is the best one you are likely to find in the city, plus their thick wedge potatoes come draped with melted cheese (yes please!). While you\u2019re there be sure to try the in-house-made hot sauces, and wash everything down with one of their craft beers.<\/p>\n

2. Croq & Roll Vermuteria<\/h2>\n

They\u2019ve taken the humble croquet and put a twist on it with all kinds of variations on the classic, like Gorgonzola and pear or shiitake with prawns. They even have dessert options \u2013 the mascarpone and Nutella are a crowd favourite.<\/p>\n

3. Bao Bao<\/h2>\n

Asian street food at its best, Bao Bao offers bun-baozi, a steamed Asian bread shaped into a bun ready for filling. Vegetarians can choose the Bao Gandhi and there is even a Bao Obama filled with barbeque chicken.<\/p>\n

4. Can Paixano \/ La Xampaneria<\/h2>\n

Located where El Born cedes to La Barceloneta, La Xampaneria is a bar from the Can Paixano wine and Cava producers. It\u2019s been around for over 50 years and to our surprise, the prices have gone up modestly. Owing to their modest ways, unless you go early, you will find yourself immersed in a raucous crowd, sipping cava out of low coupes and tucking into all manner of tapas, canned food or warm sandwiches cooked to order on a hot plate behind the bar, so get there before the crowds to snag a table!<\/p>\n

5. Pikio Taco<\/h2>\n

There are quite a few Mexican options in the city however, Pikio Taco, is a crowd favourite. Located across the road from Generator Barcelona<\/a>, their tacos are affordable enough at \u20ac3.5 each\u00a0allowing you to\u00a0try from their impressive selection until your heart is content (and your belt buckle is about to pop). The Pikio with beef and chorizo is a nice nod to local tastes, while the Guacamole \u20ac4 and Nachos \u20ac8 make excellent sharing plates and how could you forget the frozen Margaritas\u2019 \u20ac5, they\u2019re a must-try!<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Poke Maoli<\/h2>\n

This fast and healthy Hawaiian bowl – like a deconstructed sushi roll complimented with plenty\u00a0of added extras\u00a0– has become a trend in Barcelona. Pok\u00e9 Maoli is the best of the lot and its location in Barceloneta, close to the iconic statue of a stack of cubes, makes it an ideal lunch option when you are looking for a quick and healthy dish to enjoy on the beach. Plus, all bowls are completely customizable to taste, talk about a win-win situation.<\/p>\n

7. Parking Pita<\/h2>\n

A good pita starts with the bread, freshly baked day\u00a0and if it’s made right before it gets stuffed and served, well, then you are in pita heaven, my friend. Parking Pita comes from a restaurant group that likes to take over former parking garages, they\u2019ve gone with the grey floors and walls and it works. Sit at the long communal table and order their riffs on the classic pita. The \u201ctandoor\u201d filled with organic chicken and flavoured with Indian spices is a good choice. Tip: if you are with friends, the creative veggie side dishes are good to share.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Gyoza Bar<\/h2>\n

On a street off the Arc de Triomf, home to a large Chinese population, you will find Gyoza Bar. It\u2019s a corner restaurant with a rustic offering of a variety of gyoza or \u201cempanadas chinas\u201d as the locals like to call them. For just \u20ac 5 you get ten large handmade Chinese dumplings, steamed or pot sticker style. From the handful of sides, the smashed cucumber salad with peanuts and chillies are worth ordering and letting your pallet explore.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Ramen Shop<\/h2>\n

A tenner is all you need for a starter, a bowl of ramen and a drink at this popular ramen shop in the Gothic Quarter. The shops aesthetic is peaceful with its simple decoration and seating –\u00a0 its most distinctive feature is the Manga cartoons that decorate some of the walls.<\/p>\n

10. Tomasso<\/h2>\n

Tomasso is a New York-style pizzeria that specialises in creating authentic hand-stretched thin crust pizzas. You can go for an individual sized pizza (\u20ac10 – \u20ac13) or a large (\u20ac17 – \u20ac19), the large is big enough to wrap a fat baby in, should you so wish. They have a variety of tenderly made pizza options to choose from – for\u00a0the pepperoni lovers out there the one here is a must-try.<\/p>\n

11. A Tu Bola<\/h2>\n

Rotund food or balls is what is on offer at this tiny restaurant located in the Raval neighbourhood. The chef is Israeli, so as you would expect, the chickpea fritters are excellent but so are the Asian chicken meatballs, not forgetting the large chocolate ball for dessert.<\/p>\n

Birthplace of the \u2018bomba\u2019 – a round ball of potato and mincemeat, deep fried and served with a spicy salsa and aioli. It was invented some 60 years ago by Maria Pla to resemble the Catalan\u2019s anarchists weapon of choice, a round iron ball of explosives. Besides this famous tapa and others, La Cova Fumada serves hearty lunches, like chickpea stews that are popular with the older locals.<\/p>\n

14. Caravan Made – Food Truck<\/h2>\n

In the last 5 years, Barcelona has seen a trend growing with quite a few pop-up food markets appearing, Eat Street, Palo Alto, AllThose and Van Van to name the most popular. They have given the many food trucks a platform to exist on in a city that has strict rules on food trucks accessing the public market. Caravan Made, the brainchild of S\u00eclvia and Javi, is one of the original ones. Specialising in gourmet sandwiches with seasonal ingredients sourced as locally as possible. The duo studied at the local cookery school Hofmann before Javi did some work experience at the renowned El Celler de Can Roca. This training is evident with the first bite you take.<\/p>\n
