Time Out Market Barcelona sees 14 award-winning chefs bring local cuisine to the city all under one roof (including two with Micheiln stars) – find it at Port Vell, on the terrace-viewpoint of Maremagnum.
Barcelona’s food scene in 2025: the year that was 2024 blessed us with a ton of incredible new restaurants, including new faves Eldelmar, Aüc and Bajarí (all of which you’ll find on this list). And that’s not all: we opened the all-new Time Out Market Barcelona, bringing the best of the city’s food scene together under one roof, at the stunning Port Vell on the terrace-viewpoint of Maremagnum. Oh, and in 2025, two restaurants that we’ve been shouting about since their opening received Michelin stars: Mae and Teatro. We knew it!
But on our full list of the best restaurants in Barcelona, you’ll find both old and new, traditional and modern – you’ll find everything from old-school tapas and contemporary Catalan cuisine to Italian, Japanese, Mediterranean, Mexican and more. The team at Time Out Barcelona have tried every single spot on this list, so you can trust us when we say these are the best restaurants in Barcelona right now.
