🍽️ Insider Dining Tips for Barcelona

  • Menu del dia (lunch menu) offers 3 courses with wine for €12-18 on weekdays - incredible value
  • Avoid restaurants on La Rambla - they're overpriced tourist traps. Head to El Born or Gràcia instead
  • Vermouth hour (6-8pm) is Barcelona's answer to happy hour with discounted tapas
  • La Boqueria market has fresh produce but also prepared foods perfect for a quick, authentic meal

🌍 Local Dining Customs & Etiquette

Dining times are late - lunch 2-4pm, dinner 9-11pm. Tipping is minimal (5-10% or rounding up). Tapas culture means ordering multiple small plates to share. Standing at the bar is cheaper than table seating. Siesta (3-5pm) means some restaurants close mid-afternoon.
