Barcelona Poble Sec Tapas & Wine Tour

Absolutely! Barcelona is packed with amazing food, but knowing where to go is the real challenge. A food tour saves you from the tourist traps and takes you straight to the best, most authentic spots. You’ll taste the true flavors of Barcelona, hear the stories behind the dishes, and experience the city like a local—not just a visitor. Plus, let’s be honest, wandering the Gothic Quarter or El Born with a glass of vermut in hand is much more fun when you have an expert guide leading the way.

Barcelona’s culinary scene is a delicious mix of Catalan tradition and Mediterranean influences. You can’t leave without trying pa amb tomàquet (bread rubbed with tomato and olive oil), jamón ibérico (cured ham that melts in your mouth), and the legendary patatas bravas (crispy potatoes with spicy sauce). Seafood lovers, get ready for suquet de peix (a rich fish stew), and of course, a visit isn’t complete without indulging in crema catalana, the local (and arguably superior) version of crème brûlée.

All food and drinks are included in the price you pay for the tour. No hidden charges or upsells here.

Our Barcelona tours range in length from 3 to 3.5 hours.

Each tour’s area can be found listed as its “location”. You might explore the Gothic Quarter, El Born, or Barceloneta!

Our tours have maximum capacities of between 8-12 guests. This ensures that our small groups are able to move unobtrusively through the neighborhoods we explore, respecting our surroundings and the locals that live in Barcelona.

We love welcoming solo travelers! All of our tours are open to individual guests.

You will taste a variety of local and regional Catalan and Spanish foods which tell the story of Barcelona through its culinary culture.

Offerings may vary by day or season, but you’re sure to enjoy a delightful array of local flavors!

There is no dress code on our tours, however it’s recommended to wear a good pair of shoes (these are walking tours, after all!) and be prepared for the elements, even though most of our stops are indoors.

Yes, absolutely. There’s a Catalan concept, gaudir, which means to enjoy or take pleasure in something deeply. That’s the feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Barcelona.

You’ll find that spirit of gaudir from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the bustling local markets like Santa Caterina, help keep the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter quiet at night, and take time to appreciate the incredible Modernista architecture. This is the authentic Barcelona experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Our guides are all fluent in English, and of course speak Spanish as well. For requests for tours in other languages, please contact us.

Yes! You are welcome to take photos and videos of the food and scenery throughout your tour. If you would explicitly like to get photos of fellow guests or your guide, we kindly ask that you get their permission first.

Tips for our lovely guides are not required, but they are appreciated!

No. While some tours may have one or two stops which other groups visit (can’t help it if they’re popular!), Eating Europe are proud that the majority of stops on every Barcelona tour are restaurants and vendors who work exclusively with us.

We do! Please see the “Book a Private Tour” option or contact us, and we can arrange a private or custom Barcelona tour to suit your specific needs.
