Barcelona Cuisine
Barcelona cuisine reflects Catalan cuisine influenced by the Mediterranean diet. It is rich in a wide variety of seafood and fish dishes. Mediterranean-style olive oil-based dishes and vegetable dishes are also widely consumed.
Meal times in Barcelona are a bit later than ours. For example, lunch is eaten around 2 PM. Dinner is eaten no earlier than 8 PM. For breakfast, pastries and cakes are generally preferred to be eaten with coffee.
Appetizers called Paamb Tomauet are among the most loved foods. It is made by spreading a mixture of tomato, garlic, and olive oil on toasted bread and cooking it. It is a very delicious breakfast item.
You Should Try Tortilla a la Espanola and Tapas
One of the most famous dishes in Spain is the renowned potato omelet called Tortilla a la Espanola. Made with finely chopped onions, potatoes, and beaten eggs, this omelet is enjoyed for breakfast as well as for lunch.
We must also mention their famous rice dish, Paella. It's no exaggeration to say it has everything, made with seafood or chicken and colored with saffron. You must try it.
Of course, Tapas, small and various appetizers, are also very famous in Spain. Tapas with squid, shrimp, fish, lobster, or chicken are extremely popular. We also recommend Soquet de peix, a magnificent soup for seafood lovers. Escudella, a Catalan stew, is also one of the delicious dishes.
