Eat and drink

You cannot live on love alone! Do not miss an essential part of Catalan culture: its food. Dishes by season, neighbourhood markets, then places chosen along the walks: no chains, no kebabs, no pizzerias.

In Barcelona, lunch is from 13:30 to 15:30 and dinner rarely before 21:00. Esmorzar de forquilla is eaten before 11:00, and vermut at midday, especially on Sundays. A kitchen open from 18:00 works mainly for visitors. Guidance from the Catalan cuisine page; usual times for France.
