I am going to be going to Barcelona every weekend for the next few months and I wanted to get some recommendations for some local authentic food that I should try or cheap local resteraunts close to or near Las Rambles that serves traditional Spanish meals. Any suggestions?

Hi. I'm spanish (sorry my english)

Near Las Ramblas, you are going to find restaurants for tourist. They're usually too expensives and bads. If you read in Las Ramblas a sing saying "comida tradicional" or "comida española", flee away.

The best is what you find good places in the neighborhoods.

Saludos. Y perdón por mi mal inglés.

Carlos.

The only restaurant I went while I was in Barcelona was Burger King which is near La Plaça de Catalunya and Las Ramblas. grin

But there was a place called : Café Catalunya and the food tasted good.

In Barcelona go local, eat seafood and paella. go to the port, and off las Ramblas. there must be a thousand local restaurants with luscious tapas and seafood there. When I was in barcelona I was on an ''eatathon''

Hi! Have you tried couchsurfing.com? It's not just for finding places to stay, you can arrange to meet local people for a drink or for coffee, and maybe they will be able to take you to some places that are off the tourist trail. Plus you can practice Spanish (or Catalan!) at the same time...

I don't have any affiliation with the site, but my friends and I have been using it to meet new people in Málaga.
