Gastronomy
Below you will find a list of articles that show Barcelona has many restaurants with quality traditional and homemade Catalan cuisine, suitable for all budgets. Some even have Michelin stars. You can find cheap apartments in residential areas of Barcelona where many great locales can be found.
Catalan cuisine has complex roots and developed throughout the centuries from various influences including the Greeks, Romans, Italian, and French. For this reason, you'll find ingredients and techniques that are common to other Mediterranean cuisines, which are famous for their healthy characteristics. Catalonia's version combines sea, land, and mountains, and each area of the country has its own dishes; for example, the Costa Brava varies from the Pyrenees.
The regional dishes convene into a flavoursome mishmash of gastronomy, like xató, empedat, and escalibada. Catalonia is fairly known for its desserts, like panellets, tortells, and crema catalana. By the coast you'll find a dish called esqueixada, a salad made with escarola, cod, and romesco sauce. There's also suguet de peix, consisting of seafood and fish served up in a broth. For mountain dishes, there's olla aranesa, a vegetable broth garnished with meatballs.
