Top 7 Catalan Dishes You’ll Try on Our Barcelona Food Tour
Barcelona is a city of endless flavors, but nothing tells the story of Catalonia better than its traditional dishes. On our Barcelona Food Tour in Gràcia, you’ll enjoy a carefully curated tasting menu that highlights the best of Catalan cuisine – from savory bites to sweet desserts.
Here are the 7 must-try dishes waiting for you on our tour.
1. Tortilla con Jamón y Queso
The Spanish omelette is already a classic, but in Barcelona we make it special with jamón and cheese. It’s hearty, comforting, and the perfect way to start a food tour.
2. Botifarra Blanco y Oscuro
Catalonia’s signature sausage, made in both white and dark varieties, is a true taste of tradition. Served simply with bread, it shows how powerful simple flavors can be.
3. Sardina Fumada con Tostada
Smoked sardine on crunchy toast – salty, smoky, and rich in flavor. It pairs perfectly with a glass of house vermut and brings the Mediterranean right to your plate.
4. House-Made Vermut
Catalonia’s beloved aperitif, vermut is sweet, herbal, and refreshing. It’s the drink of choice for locals in Gràcia, usually enjoyed with a tapa in the afternoon sun.
5. Croquetas
Golden, crispy on the outside, creamy inside – croquetas are the ultimate comfort food. Whether filled with jamón, chicken, or mushrooms, they are a must-have in any tapas bar.
6. Bombeta
The pride of Barceloneta, this potato croquette with a spicy kick is a local favorite. The bombeta is small but powerful – don’t be surprised if you ask for more than one!
7. Crema Catalana
The sweet finale: a creamy custard topped with caramelized sugar. Crema catalana is often compared to crème brûlée, but with a uniquely Catalan twist of cinnamon and lemon zest.
Why These Dishes Matter
Each dish is more than food – it’s a story of Catalan culture, history, and tradition. From humble family recipes to festive favorites, this lineup reflects the true identity of Barcelona’s food scene.
