Barcelona has thousand of restaurants. Some are great, some are terrible. To get an idea of the local cuisine without breaking the bank I recommend focusing on great-value “daily menu” deals.
Daily Menu deals are very common in Barcelona. Generally they consist of one starter, a main course, a drink, and a desert or coffee for a very competitive price.
The focus here is less than 15EUR/meal in the Gracia Neighborhood.
The 15 Best Daily Menu in Barcelona’s Gracia Neighborhood
La Pubilla
This is probably my favorite place, specially as a daily menu (lunch deal on weekdays). Not cheap, but quality is good, and well, they probably have the best bread in the city. Daily Menu 14EUR.
Food is a remake of classical Catalan cuisine, with emphasis on seasonal vegetables and traditions.
You are encouraged to call and reserve a table, as it is quite crowded and popular and you might have to wait.
Still hungry?
SMS Delicies
This small restaurant located on a corner makes delicious food in abundant portions. Good deal on the daily menus (11EUR)
