ANY GOOD RESTAURANTS NEAR SAGRADA FAMILIA?

I usually tell my guests to avoid eating at the restaurants near Sagrada Familia: most of them are tourist traps. Unless you want to eat at McDonalds, KFC or Starbucks (not the kind of Spanish restaurant I’d be wishing to try…). But sometimes when you are sightseeing, you can’t choose much where you’ll be for lunch. Maybe you spent longer than you thought inside the church.

Or you had to wait too long in line to get in and it got late. Or you have online tickets in the early afternoon and it’s more convenient to eat nearby. That’s why today I’m going to share with you my favorite places to eat around the Sagrada Familia church.

These are the best places to eat near la Sagrada Familia:

1 Los Bellota

Bellota is the Spanish word for acorn, and bellota ham (jamón de bellota) is one of the most valued hams in Spain. So this restaurant is the perfect place to taste some typical Spanish cured meats and hams, specially from the Extremadura region.

Delicious tapas and very good wines any time of the day. Their menu includes typical Spanish soups, salads, sandwiches and, of course, excellent Iberian meats.

2 Madre - Taberna Moderna

When I saw this place had opened I though “finally!”. I really missed a place to eat near Sagrada Familia that would serve creative tapas, not just what everyone else does. Sure, they have some traditional choices such as patatas bravas, croquetas and the like. But they also do low temperature meats, touches of foie here, a little Japanese fusion there… And it’s fun!

3 Bardeni

The first meatbar in Barcelona, it specializes in creative and delicious meat tapas. It’s not a typical restaurant with tables, but you sit in stools and eat by the counter. If you are a meat-lover, don’t go to any other of the restaurants near la Sagrada Familia: This is the place to be!

4 La Piazzenza

During local lunchtime, there’s often a long line to eat in La Piazzenza, because their pizzas are really delicious. The menu offers also tapas and pasta but pizza is definitely the reason to come here. Really tasty pizzas with many ingredients. Our favorite is the amazing Vegetable Calzone.

5 Los Pollos de Llull

A family friendly option: after all, what kid doesn’t like roasted chicken? And that’s precisely the specialty of this restaurant. But they also have croquettes, and potatoes, and chicken wings, and salads, rice with tomato sauce and egg, pasta… Nothing fancy, just an easy meal. And the kids are given a paper rooster crest to cut off and wear on their heads!
