Barcelona is a magical city full of amazing places to eat, but it has a reputation for being a little pricey. <\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, what is the cost of food per day in Barcelona? We\u2019ll give you some insight into that question along with some recommendations for great value food in Barcelona.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"A<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Breakfast<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In Barcelona breakfast is light\u2014a coffee and sandwich (bocata<\/em> in Catalan) or croissant. You can find offers for this breakfast for \u20ac2.50\u2013\u20ac4 across the whole city. We recommend paying the upper end of that in one of the market bars, our favorite being Bar Joan in Mercat de Santa Caterina<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Barcelona has plenty of healthier options too, but these come at a premium. For avocado toast, or a more international brunch style of breakfast, you\u2019ll pay closer to \u20ac10\u2013\u20ac12 with a flat white. If this is more your speed, we recommend the recently opened Billy Brunch<\/a> in Eixample for a great menu and good prices.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another great (and affordable) breakfast drink in Barcelona is cava!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lunch<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There is no excuse to pay an arm and a leg for lunch in Barcelona, thanks to the men\u00fa del d\u00eda<\/em><\/a>. Almost all restaurants have a men\u00fa<\/em> at lunch that usually ranges from \u20ac10\u2013\u20ac15\u2014this is what the locals will eat.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The men\u00fa<\/em> normally includes two to three courses, bread, a drink and some water. Remember in Spain lunch is the main meal of the day, so fit in with the locals and make time to sit down for an hour or so. Most restaurants will have the menu advertised outside, meaning you can take a quick peek at what is on offer. Check out a few of our favorite places in the Raval area, just five minutes\u2019 walk from Las Ramblas. Can Lluis<\/a> and L\u2019Antic Forn<\/a> both have classic Catalan dishes at great value.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There is also lots of international food in Barcelona, particularly Asian. One of our favorites is a ramen bar just off Via Laietana right in the center. Grasshopper Ramen<\/a> is so small you could walk past it without knowing, but for \u20ac10 you can get a great bowl of Ramen and still have some change left over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Group
Lunchtime is sacred in Barcelona\u2014it’s when family or friends come together to share a leisurely meal.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dinner<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When it comes to dinner in Spain, we eat late, so we eat little. Take a seat on a terraza<\/em> in one of Barcelona\u2019s many squares and have some simple tapas. These will run you about \u20ac4\u2013\u20ac6 each depending on where you are, and you can add on a ca\u00f1a<\/em> for \u20ac2.50\u2013\u20ac3.50.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of our favorite places to watch the world go by over a drink is Bar Canig\u00f3<\/a> in Gracia. Known for its bocatas<\/em> and traditional tapas, Bar Canig\u00f3 is a Barcelona favorite. A drink each and some tapas will cost around \u20ac10 per head.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Patatas

Snacks<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here in Spain, we have five meals a day<\/a>. We have a second breakfast\u2014which is often very small like a piece of fruit, which you can pick up in one of the many markets\u2014and something called merienda<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The merienda <\/em>is a perfect excuse to have one of Spain\u2019s most famous treats: hot chocolate. In Barcelona, we do it differently. Here, we serve the chocolate with a generous helping of whipped cream, known as a suizo<\/em> (after the Swiss, who first added dairy to chocolate) and melindros<\/em>, not churros.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can find this delicious combo all over the city, but two great places are Granja Dulcinea<\/a> in the Gothic Quarter or Granja M. Viader<\/a> on the other side of Las Ramblas, next to the famous Boqueria. This should cost no more than \u20ac5 per head, and you can save money by sharing a portion of cream between two or three of you. They are big! <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So now you know how much to budget per meal in Barcelona. Don\u2019t want to add it all up? We think a budget of \u20ac35\u201340 per person, per day, is enough for you to eat out every meal and enjoy great food.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
