2021 Barcelona Restaurants: The Food Enthusiast's Long Weekend Guide
()
About this ebook
There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let's not forget the eating of it.
But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.
This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.
"Exciting" does not necessarily mean expensive. The area's top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of "sensible alternatives" for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they "plate up" in the kitchen.
For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.
Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.
Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher's expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.
Bon Appétit!

INTRODUCTION
Barcelona, Spain’s second biggest city, is one of the most visited cities in Europe, with many millions of tourists visiting annually. I am most definitely one of them. Barcelona, known for the splendid Modernism architecture of Antoni Gaudi, is arguably just as much the city of Picasso and Miro. The city boasts gorgeous beaches, serene parks, lovely gardens, a preserved medieval historic quarter and fine museums, but many visit Barcelona for the gastronomical delights. Barcelona is a city to be explored and there’s no better way to explore and discover the culture than through its distinctive cuisine.
LOCAL CUISINE
Barcelona is a foodies’ paradise and food is taken very seriously. You’ll find an endless variety of great restaurants from 5-star eateries, molecular experimental to traditional Catalan and Basque. The many food markets offer everything from fresh fruits and vegetables, breads, and olive oil. The popular Catalan cuisine, an ancient Mediterranean style, is characterized by local herbs, meats, and seafood. Food is number one and people often plan supper while eating lunch or scheduling their day around what they’re going to eat. Spanish food is delicious and quite healthy. The town is literally a buffet offering a variety of cuisine, including tapas (there are tapas bars everywhere) and paella – a rich dish that’s very popular although it comes from Valencia. The best paella is served in the Barceloneta area.
In Barcelona, as you will quickly see on your very first night here, time means nothing and locals eat late, drink late and party all night long. Some clubs open as some people are getting up and going to work. Barcelona’s bar scene thrived in the 1980s and has continued with a wealth of trendy lounges and cocktail bars. There’s certainly a bar to suit every mood and cocktail preference, whether you’re strictly a beer and ale drinker or prefer a vintage-style bar that serves the classic Dry Martini.
