Spain Food - Barcelona

it has been 10+ years since I went Europe. This trip, we did London and Spain, which includes Barcelona, Madrid and Seville.

Spain is popular for its Tapas ... basically small plate of food to satisfy hunger inbetween lunch and dinner (which is extremely late at 9pm)

Restaurant=Cervecería Catalana












a bakery shop near our hotel has these on display and should be for sale. They have all sorts of designs / cartoons, including Japanese cartoons.




It was raining in Barcelona so it was cold and wet. We walked a long way to find this restaurant (Via Veneto) and the service was excellent.

lamb steak

















the white cubes are marsmallow, where you can pick up with a fork but melt into your mouth immediately ... very interesting




this restaurant (Cafe de l’Academia) where we had lunch has value for money set meals. The place is very small with only 28 tables but the food is good.

Duck

for dinner, we were at this place (Botafumeiro) where the king of Spain had his meal there before. but frankly, the food is so-so and service is not really fantastic.

baked crab with cheese























We travelled all the way to the harbour and some deserted corner by the sea and found this restaurant (Can Majo) which serves nice seafood. price is cheap as well. but they can only speak limited english.

paellas

final meal at Barcelona is at this fusion restaurant (Gaig) ... red and black deco ... good service but a little pricy.
