Not necessarily the best meals (or places), but the meals (or places) that best represent your culture.

    Found the Italian?

    If you don’t live in Italy and you’re naughty, rub a little bit of garlic on the bread before the tomato :-).

    Italy has so good food it’s crazy (and I’m living in France!) but it seems impossible to get that bread, those tomatoes etc elsewhere (there is surely some magic to it too). It’s like oranges from Naples. You just don’t make them anywhere else.

        Oh yes it is! A shame Barcelona is so overcrowded with tourists nowadays (I went there a lot some 10+ years ago, stopped when the tourist invasion happened, I mean I was then part of the problem).

        Mediterranean food for the world !

          Fair warning to anyone who wants to visit for our food, just in case: the food in tourist focused restaurants here is… not particularly good, and extremely overpriced.

          If you want good food, avoid the more touristy areas, and find out where the locals eat when they eat out (or get them to invite you to eat some homemade food).
