LAS RAMBLAS RESTAURANTS THAT AREN’T TOURIST TRAPS
Enjoy Las Ramblas with all your senses – including taste, finally! Las Ramblas are one of the main arteries of Barcelona and a well-known place that you shouldn’t miss. This 1.3km long street connects Plaça Catalunya with the old port and it’s always crowded: people walking, artists, music and terraces that makes this place a good choice for wander around.
Enjoy it with your eyes people-watching, enjoy it with your smell when you pass by the flower market, enjoy it with your ears with the rejoicing of kids and adults being surprised by the living statues tricks, enjoy it with your touch gently caressing the bark of the hundred-year-old plain trees along it.
And yes, enjoy it with your taste… if you know how to avoid the tourist traps and the fast food venues. Impossible? Not really! Among all the available food options, here are the ones we like the best and won’t fail you.
EXPLORE LAS RAMBLAS WITH US
This is our selection of restaurants on la Rambla:
This brasserie offers a very Mediterranean proposal all day long: from morning to night. There are delicious salads, tapas, pasta, sandwiches and pizzas… all elaborated in their open kitchen with a real wood oven. The service is quick and the decoration, with wood and neutral colors, make it the perfect haven of peace for charging batteries and feeling like home.
Don’t miss their leek and truffled egg pizza – amazing! And if you can, get a table upstairs and be surprised at the stunning giant paper dragon that hangs from the ceiling (they kept it from when the venue was an Asian restaurant before becoming Luzia).

We probably shouldn’t call it strictly a “las Ramblas restaurant”, because technically it’s not exactly located in Las Ramblas but just off it, in the lively Plaça Reial. It’s a multipurpose fun space that changes from day to night: a cafe in the morning, an outdoor terrace when the weather is good, a restaurant during meal times, a club with a lot of rhythm in the evenings…
It offers a simple but original cuisine and tapas inspired in the Catalan tradition with some Asian and Moroccan fusion touch. Don’t miss either their cocktails, created by the international barman Mario Greenfield. Ocaña will surprise you, and you’ll understand how it was managed to attract Barcelonans back to la Rambla, when most locals had stopped coming after the explosion of tourist traps.
By the way, the venue decoration inspired in the sixties links to the name of the place: Ocaña was a famous transexual artist that lived in this plaza and organized performances way beyond his time.

Tapas bars in La Boqueria
The Boqueria market is without a doubt one of the most special places in Las Ramblas. It’s considered one of the best markets in Europe (probably also the world) and it invites you to enjoy its colors, flavors, aromas… a great bunch of different sensations.
TAPAS TOURS FOR FOOD LOVERS
While the number of take away stalls has grown a lot these last years, it’s always worth it to stay for lunch (or have a very rich breakfast) seating in a stool of one of its tapas bars.
The most famous bars are El Quim, famous for its fried eggs topped with baby calamari, fried baby fish, mushrooms or foie; or the Bar Pinotxo where you need to taste traditional Catalan recipes such as chickpeas with black pudding or white beans with baby calamari; or El Kiosko Universal, hidden in a corner, that specializes in the freshest fish, shellfish, and seafood in the market (get one of their daily menus – they are a very good deal!)
This restaurant located at the bottom of Las Ramblas (near the Columbus monument) is a classic in the city and probably the oldest restaurant in the street. It offers a fusion of Mediterranean and Basque cuisine, and all dishes are cooked with fresh and good quality products.
You can choose between being seated at the terrace, the lounge or the attic. Good choice to rest and enjoy without paying much attention to the clock, specially if you like good old earthy recipes: honey-coated lamb shoulder, hake in green sauce… Traditional food and a great atmosphere.

Louro is the secret restaurant of La Rambla. You can hardly see it from the street: it’s on the seconf floor of a building, inside the Centro Galego. Galicia is the region of the North of Spain on top of Portugal. Barcelona has many immigrants from that area, and this is their community club.
BARCELONA FOOD TOURS FOR FOODIES
Galicia is famous for their seafood, and that’s of course big in their menu. There’s octopus, there’s a variety of shells and fish… But meat lovers also have some lovely pork, chicken and veal options. And vegetarians shouldn’t miss their smoked eggplant rice!

AND BONUS! Where to go for exceptional dessert?
Escribà
The Escriba family has run their cake shop for three generations already. This was their second venue (the main one is on Gran Via avenue), opened already in the early 1900’s! They have tables inside and outside on the side street – so away from la Rambla rush. Their cakes are amazing, and it’s also fun to order a creme brulee and see them burn the top.
It’s also a perfect place for breakfast (as long as you do sweet instead of savory) or a coffee break. In such case don’t miss their cremadet: a milfeuille sandwich stuffed with crème brulée.

La Rambla | La Rambla & Barri Gòtic, Barcelona | Attractions
La Rambla is a tree-lined boulevard featuring a wide array of architectural delights, beautifully decorated flower stalls and particularly talented (and certified) human statues. Foodies will definitely enjoy the tapa joints at Mercat de la Boqueria, considered by many to be the best gourmet food market in Europe.
It is infamous for the incredible numbers of both pickpockets and tourist-first restaurants serving mediocre paella, but there is plenty to see and appreicate.
Linking Plaça de Catalunya, the central square in Barcelona, with the old harbor, strolling La Rambla, or ramblejar, as the local people say, while admiring the imposing facades and doing some people watching, is something everyone should experience when visiting Barcelona.

History of La Rambla
Unlike most landmarks in Barcelona, the history of La Rambla is neither epic nor glamorous.
Its name comes from the Arabic word ‘’ramla’’, which translates into ‘’sandy or muddy area’’. Today’s La Rambla used to be an open sewer named Riera d’en Malla, which also served as a natural culvert for the water coming from Collserola, the hills that limit Barcelona to the north.
In the 15th century, the Barcelona Council wanted to extend its city walls by including El Raval district. For that, they had to divert the stream, so it could flow outside of the walls. The empty area resulting from the stream diversion became the actual street that was later named La Rambla. Over the following decades, several convents and monasteries were built along La Rambla, but most of them were burnt down during the anti-clerical revolution of 1835.
It wasn’t until then, that La Rambla started flourishing. The most visited landmarks like Plaça Reial, Mercat de la Boqueria, Teatre Liceu, and Font de Canaletes were all built in the 19th century on the ground where Catholic buildings used to stand.
Very quickly, La Rambla became the center of urban, modern city life in Barcelona.
With the arrival of mass tourism, however, La Rambla has turned into the busiest tourist hot spot in the city, losing the local essence that once used to prevail there. Barcelonins are a rare thing to see these days, the reason why this was the area most affected by the consequences of COVID-19. The restaurants along the boulevard initiated a campaign to attract local customers by offering big discounts, but it’s been so long since the arrival of mass tourism, that barcelonins are not used to going there anymore.

La Rambla or Les Rambles?
La Rambla or Les Rambles? During your visit, you will probably realize that some locals call it La Rambla, while others say Les Rambles. This can be confusing for first-time visitors, but both terms are accepted.
La Rambla refers to the whole pedestrian boulevard, while the plural form of Les Rambles refers to the five different sections into which it is divided. These distinct sections will help you shape your walking tour.
Exploring La Rambla
La Font de Canaletes on La Rambla © Esme Fox / Lonely Planet
The first stretch of the famed boulevard is La Rambla de Canaletes, home to the Font de Canaletes. It is said that whoever tastes the water flowing from this fountain, will certainly come back to Barcelona one day – a local legend that always encourages happy visitors to drink from it. Canaletes is also the place where FC Barcelona fans gather when the football club wins titles. Meander down the road and you will bump into Església de Betlem, a 17th-century baroque church, and one of the few which wasn’t burned down during the anti-clerical revolution.
The boulevard’s second stretch is named La Rambla dels Estudis, named after Estudi General de Barcelona, a 16th-century university and the predecessor of Universitat de Barcelona, one of the top public universities in Spain.
Mosaïc de Miró on La Rambla © Esme Fox / Lonely Planet
Art lovers will enjoy walking through the third stretch called La Rambla de les Flors, which features a big mosaic made by surrealist painter Joan Miró, as well as the neoclassical Virreina Palace. Operating continuously since the 19th century, the flower market can be found in this section too. The newest addition to the sites is a memorial for the victims of the 2017 terrorist attack.
Continue rambling down the boulevard until you find La Rambla dels Caputxins, named after a former monastery inhabited by friars from the Capuchin order. This is where you’ll find the acclaimed El Mercat de la Boqueria, a central market offering all the freshest produce in Barcelona. In La Boqueria, look for Pinocho Bar, an award-winning, 75-year-old tapa joint where, despite being consistently packed with visitors, the food quality remains impressive. Don’t miss their calamarcets amb mongetes de Santa Pau (little squid with local white beans). Across the street, pop into the very popular Erotic Museum, thought to be a bit sassy by some, the museum takes you through the fascinating influence of sexuality throughout the history of Barcelona.
The last stretch of road belongs to La Rambla de Santa Mònica, also named after one of the monasteries which burned down in 1835. The southern edge of La Rambla leads into the 60m tall Columbus statue, which overlooks the old harbor of Barcelona.

How to get to La Rambla
Plaça Catalunya metro (Line 1, Line 3 and FGC) is located on the northern edge of La Rambla which is considered the starting point.
Liceu and Drassanes metro stations (Line 3), are located in the middle and south end of La Rambla, respectively.
Things to do around La Rambla
La Rambla is a 1.2km boulevard that goes through the Old City, dividing the Gothic area and El Raval.
On El Raval side, the Museum of Contemporary Art is one of the most visited museums in Barcelona. La Rambla del Raval is also gorgeous, much quieter, plus it features a cat statue made by the Colombian artist Botero.
The Gothic area doesn’t come up short when it comes to neo-Gothic and Gothic buildings, the Barcelona Cathedral being the most astonishing architectural masterpiece.
North of La Rambla and Plaça Catalunya, you have Passeig de Gràcia, a fancy-like street home to the Gaudí-designed buildings of La Pedrera and Casa Batlló.
The southern edge of La Rambla links to the wooden dock and promenade, which connects to the beach district of La Barceloneta.

Best restaurants near La Rambla
Except for some tapa joints in Mercat de la Boqueria, we recommend skipping the restaurants found along La Rambla and instead, exploring the labyrinthine lanes of both El Raval and the Gothic area which are home to several local eateries and restaurants.
On the Gothic side, have a meal at Agut, known for its traditional Catalan cuisine. Neri is slightly more expensive, but it’s a good place for getting a taste of what modern Catalan cuisine is like. For classic Spanish tapas, you will never go wrong in Babia.
On the Raval side, we recommend Arume for Galician food, a northwestern Spanish region famous for its octopus. For a real Spanish experience, go to Bar Cañete, one of the oldest in the area. Those who need a break from Spanish food can pay a visit to the popular burger joint Buenissimo Burger.

This is a new, unusual, creative and interactive, and at the same time traditional Catalan gastronomic space, opened in 2016 under the direction and with the direct participation of the Roca brothers. Yes, yes, those very “gurus” of high cuisine, whose restaurant “Cellier Can Roca” has been on the Gastronomic Olympus for several years and tops the lists of Michelin restaurants. If until now you thought that surrealism was the “know-how” of only one Catalan genius, then when you get to Opera Samfaina, located literally under the famous Liceu Opera House, you will understand that the capital of Catalonia holds many surprises.
Chairs nailed to the ceiling, a boat sailing right over your heads to the songs of Catalan fishermen “habaneras”, traditional “gigantes” and masks of Catalan holidays, a bar made of wine bottles, St. George slaying the Dragon, the underwater world of the Mediterranean … The imagination of the authors of the project knows no bounds! Here, on interactive panels, with the help of sound, light, music and unique decoration, the history of Catalan gastronomy is born before your eyes.
Ordering Diva Interactive Dinner you will receive 2 glasses of wine and a gastronomic set of 6 insanely delicious, typical Catalan mini dishes made from the freshest market products. But, most importantly, this is an audio-visual fantasy show that will play out in front of you right on the table, making each dish sparkle with its own story. When, at the end of dinner, you can break away from cute sheep running around the table and flying eggplants, many more amazing moments will await you.
Another Odyssey dinner format (margyage 5 Catalan wines and 5 appetizers) is accompanied by a film by Franck Aleu about the history of Catalonia and local gastronomy, projected onto all the walls and ceiling of the exclusive round hall.
