The 38 Best Restaurants in Barcelona

"Barcelona’s brunch scene and design aesthetic meet the fragrant streets of Tel Aviv at Balabusta, which serves up fresh-baked challah, bone-in braised beef ribs, fired-roasted beets with creamy labneh, chicken and cauliflower shawarma with fresh pita, eggplant bunyols (like beignets), and a whole slew of bold, colorful, and vegetable-forward dishes. Check out the weekday fixed price lunch menu (popular with the local working crowd), or get in line for the weekend brunch when you can enjoy a simmering crock of hearty shakshuka." - Sam Zucker

La Balabusta

"Despite its simple, homely feel, La Balabusta will definitely leave its mark! The Israeli-born chef creates dishes from the Middle East that combine Mediterranean, Sephardic and North African flavours." - Michelin Inspector

What a wonderful lunch. Food is very fresh, creative combination of ingredients and well presented at very fair prices. Nico was very knowledgeable about all of the dishes and very helpful with our selection. Highly recommend!

I’ve been there a few times and always had a fantastic experience. The food is not only delicious but also thoughtfully crafted with creativity. The service is warm, professional, and highly knowledgeable about the menu, especially when it comes to gluten-free options. They made sure my partner could dine safely, which we truly appreciate. On top of that, their diverse selection of wines caters to a variety of tastes and preferences. Recommended!

We went on a Sunday night in August. Very nice vibes. Waiters are very friendly and willing to explain the menu/give recs. Highly recommend the feta millefeuille and eggplant fritters. Please do yourself and favor and order deserts.

Excellent. Not really one of those Instagram beautiful restaurants, but if you are looking for amazing food, full stop. You have arrived. The humus was fresh and flavorful. The watermelon salad was sweet, with a hint of spice, great. The bbq chicken squewers were a 10. I highly recommend this place and would 100% go back.

Great food, fun & vibrant ambience and fantastic service. We had super fun, friendly and playful waitress, Virgina. She made us feel so welcome and had the best food recommendations. Must visit!

I absolutely loved every single dish I had at La Balabusta! The spinach börek, hummus, and eggplant croquettes were all incredibly tasty — but the standout for me was the chicken skewer. It was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. An amazing dining experience from start to finish! The only downside was how noisy it was inside — it was nearly impossible to hold a conversation. I’d definitely recommend trying to get a table outside if you can. Still, the food alone makes it well worth the visit!

This was such a find in Barcelona and one of our favorite meals during our trip! Our waitress was really sweet and helped us out with recommendations. Everything we ordered was very tasty (especially the chicken skewers!). We didn’t have a reservation but came early enough that we got a seat and enjoyed the meal without feeling rushed. Can understand why it was mentioned by Michelin, as we would also highly recommend this place!

I would highly recommend a Chicken Shawarma it was fresh well seasoned and the combination of the flavors were delectable. The BBQ chicken skewers was also delicious. Small portion size. The chicken veal looking fried chicken was not good very salty and gummy. I wished we tried it before we left. Spent 120Euros. Everything with the exception of the take out dish pic #4 &#5 was good.
