About the Barcelona Food Tour
What better way to explore Barcelona than through its delicious gastronomy and fascinating culture? Join us on a guided tour through Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and learn about the most famous Catalan dishes and drinks. Discover favorite local spots and taste the most famous specialties like Spanish omelet, Iberian ham, spicy patatas bravas, and many others.
Discover the best and favorite tapas places among locals and escape city crowds. Join a small-group tour and enjoy the food experience to the fullest! Meet with other travelers, taste octopus, croquetas, and Crema Catalana, and drink vermouth poured straight from the barrel!
Experience a culinary journey with our tour featuring four distinct food stops. Discover a vibrant mix of pincho bars, seafood establishments, classic tapas venues, and even a specialized jamón shop.
This tours' main goal is to introduce you to the traditional dishes of Spain and Catalonia, but along the way you'll also see the charming Bishops Bridge. Explore the origins of the El Born neighborhood and its connection to medieval knight tournaments.
Our tour guide, Daniel, was absolutely the best! As promised, he took us to amazing tapas bars and showed us many hidden gems along the way. The tour was very informative, and Daniel answered all our questions! The group size was small, and in no time, we all became friends. We tasted the best jamon iberico ever, and the wine selection was excellent. I can't recommend this tour enough!
Great, authentic tapas tour, and a perfect way to spend your Saturday afternoon! The tour guide won't take you to the touristic places, but to the less known spots that only locals know about. We walked through El Born and the Gothic Quarter, which was great because I was not that familiar with the history of Barcelona. This tour was unique and I highly recommend booking it when in Barcelona!

Padron Pepper Roulette
Have you ever heard of Padron Peppers? This traditional Spanish tapas is often served in summer when the season is blooming, and the ingredients are fresh. However, these peppers can be served throughout the year, grilled or marinated. Now, let's get to the point of why they have a 'roulette' in their name.
The taste of these peppers is often mild and sweet, BUT one out of ten has a strong chili kick that will make you grimace. If you're in a bar or a restaurant with friends, pull out this game, and the one with the worst facial expression will have to pay the whole bill!
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
- Please arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes before the tour.
- Let your tour guide know if you have any allergies or food requirements.
- Book your tour in advance to ensure you get your preferred date and time slot.
- Remember to wear a hat and sunglasses and apply sunscreen for protection during the summer.
Meeting Point
Meet your guide at the Travel Bar. Look for a black sign with "Travel" in yellow.
