TOP 10 best low cost restaurants in Barcelona

One of the best things in Barcelona is to eat, there are a lot of different cooking types but if you love asian foods, forget about it. The asian taste is not authentic so if you come from New York or Paris, you will be disappointed. In spite of that, there are few places trying to get this savor from Asia but you are in Spain so better to eat spanish food, no !!! Anyway, following my list of TOP 10 best cheap restaurants excluding fast foods like McDonald, Burger King, KFC, etc. They are restaurant chains so you can find them in different areas.

  • MasQMenos (gran via de les corts catalanes, 373-385) in Sants. Located in the ground floor of the Las Arenas mall, it is a place for all Iberian ham lovers. Metro: L1/L3 espanya.

  • 100 Montaditos (rambla de catalunya 11) in Eixample. You will eat mini cold and hot sandwitches, local people like to go there because it is quite cheap, from 1 euro. You can find them in different areas in the city. Metro: L1/L3 catalunya.
