Get to know more about typical Barcelonian food by checking out our 5 favorite local dishes:
Fideua
Paella´s sister, fideua is cooked in a large, flat, circular pan with a combination of shellfish and vegetables. Instead of rice, however, the base are short, skinny noodles. It is always served with a healthy spoon of alioli.
Bread with tomato (Pa amb tomaquet)
Toasted rustic bread, rubbed with garlic and fresh and juicy ripened tomato, a generous drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. The Catalan staple and breakfast favorite.
Crema catalana
The most omnipresent Catalan dessert, crema catalana is a delicious cold
custard with a crispy, caramelized sugar coating with orange zest made with a hot iron.
Calçots
Calçots are a local kind of baby onions charred over an open flame but tender on the inside. They’re then braised with romesco sauce, made of tomatoes, red peppers, garlic, almonds and olive oil. This is a seasonal recipe.
Esqueixada
The Catalan salad by excellence. This snack comes prepared with raw cod, tomatoes, onions, black olives, red peppers and sometimes anchovies, and boiled eggs.
