Bar Central

It’s a testament when they have 2 different locations within walking distance at the market. Prefer this one if you want less action but still busy anyways. As usual, it’s first come, first serve so be smart and watch for the seats that are either ordering dessert, or asking for the bill, there’s no wait list like the Kiosk Universal.
Anyways, ordered the usual tapas: razor clams and some big shrimp. Clams were great, shrimp while good, but Kiosk much better and moist.
In terms of hygiene, I liked how they covered their food with plastic, as per pic. There were too many bees/​flies in the market for my liking.
Ppl talk about high prices, sure, but hey, this is a touristy area though lots of locals here too.
It’s a place of action.

Wonderful fresh… No need for lots of added sauces or seasonings– this place celebrates the deliciousness of fresh, well grilled food.
The baby squid were the best I’ve ever had and the plate of grilled veggies was huge!
I loved them so much I asked for a ‘cuadro’ to take away the rest to eat for breakfast.
Kind, helpful staff and quick service!

For a fresh and well prepared meal at the market, look no further. The menu includes several unique delicacies, cuttlefish being my dish of choice. Tasty and tender, just make sure you don’t eat the beak. It’s very hard and you will break your teeth.

My friend and I stopped by the Mercat de la Boqueria to look around and stumbled upon this place. We didn’t get a chance to Unilocal it but by the looks of the ever growing line and the packed seats at the counter coupled with the fresh seafood laid out for your visual enjoyment and the MANY MANY MANY happy faces of their customers, how do you NOT stop and find out what the fuss is about?!
We ordered calamari, HUGE prawns, mussels, oysters and everything came out fresh, hot and fast! My favorite by far was the prawns and no joke, would’ve swapped out the other 3 dishes and ordered ONLY the prawns. They were sweet, juicy and melt in your mouth. I loved the fact that most of their dishes were seasoned with olive oil and sea salt as to not muddle the freshness of their main focus — the seafood!
Be prepared to shell out a few euros cuz fresh & delicious ain’t cheap!

Un vrai petit moment de bonheur pour les gourmands que nous sommes: petit-​déjeuner au cœur du marché de la Boqueria. Pas facile de savoir lequel choisir, des bars il y en a quelques uns ! Le Barcentral avait l’air accueillant, propre et les serveurs avenants, donc nous nous sommes installés.
Un peu limité dans notre vocabulaire espagnol, je né vous parle pas du catalan, nous avons fait la commande à l’œil, parmi tout le choix de produits ultra-​frais. Et perchés sur nos tabourets nous avons attaqué un petit-​déjeuner plantureux: omelette, légumes grillés, jambon, pain à la tomate, un café bien serré pour accompagner et nous étions prêts pour affronter une journée de marche et de découverte. Ca nous change du café-​croissant mais qu’est-ce que c’est bon.
Par contre l’addition grimpe assez vite si l’on se laisse aller il me semble qu’au final nous en avons eu pour pas loin de 17−20EUR/personne.
