What’s the latest fad in dining? The classic burger with a gourmet twist! Many renowned international chefs have been inspired by the challenge to prepare the perfect burger with a creative touch. Barcelona is well in on this trend, and finger-licking, mouth-watering burger bars can be found all over the city.
From classic burgers to burgers topped with blueberries and brie, there’s a taste for everyone. So to help you figure out where to get the best hamburguesa in the Catalan capital, here are our top 6 burger joints in Barcelona.
1. b Burger Barcelona
This hidden gem in Barcelona might easily offer the best burger in town. Their creative burgers are made to perfection every time. You could try the b-Bronx, a burger topped with bacon and a fried egg or the b-Dali, topped with foie gras.
A burger wouldn’t be complete without a side of fries, but instead of the long, thin potatoes we’re used to, b Burger serves the Spanish equivalent: patatas bravas topped with their own homemade spicy sauce.
To wash it all down you can choose from the selection of locally-brewed beers at this top Barcelona burger bar. Get there early because it’s a local hangout that fills up quickly.

2. Bacoa
Everyone’s favorite burger can be found at Bacoa in Ronda Universitat. Part of a small gourmet burger chain, this joint is based on the original Bacoa in the Born, which is now called Little Bacoa. Owner Brad Ainsworth is proud to insist that his Barcelona burger bars use only the freshest ingredients.
We recommend the seasonal burger made with local fresh produce. You could also try the La Bacoa burger, a classic topped with cheddar, bacon, pickles, and their very own spicy mustard.
