Grace Cartwright, Edinburgh based regular contributor to Europebudgetguide.com was in Barcelona for her exchange Erasmus year.
In this post she shares with us 3 of her favourite budget eats in Barcelona. If you missed, here is her earlier post of how to enjoy Barcelona on the cheap
From fighting through crowds.....at the Sagrada Familia to traipsing the colourful expanses of Parc Güell, Barcelona can be an exhausting place.
Luckily the city doesn’t disappoint when it comes to tasty pitstops.
Although Spain is more often famed for tapas there are some daytime eateries in Barcelona that will give you your energy back in no time.
All of the below are central, but the nearest metro stations are noted for convenience (you never know when it rains)!

If you are closer to the beach front, stray away from the overpriced boardwalk and head to El Passatore to purchase a three course ‘menu del día’ for €7 (drink included).
Whenever I have guests staying from abroad I make sure to take them here as the value for money is unrivalled.
Nearest Metro Station: Placita Palau, Metro Barceloneta
I would be lying if I called Antic Teatre an eatery, for it is actually a garden bar which only sells drink. However you are at liberty to bring in any of your own food and enjoy it below the trees and fairy lights that adorn the area. So head to the nearest supermarket and get yourself some chorizo, cheese and bread then accompany it with a beer from Antic Teatre.
Nearest Metro Station : (C/Verdaguer, Metro Urquinoana)
Saving the best for last, Bo D B is so famous for its salads and overstuffed sandwiches. that even the permanent queue out of the door should not deter you.
Offering takeaway and sit in, I would personally recommend the marinated chicken with all the salad they can fit. The best news is that these guys are one of the cheapest around as well.
Nearest Metro Station: (C/Fusteria, Metro Jaume)
