El Quim de la Boquería is a lively and charming bar located inside the famous Mercat de la Boqueria in Barcelona. The tiny counter-style setup with stools all around gives it an authentic and bustling market atmosphere. The menu offers a wide range of cold and hot tapas, meat and egg dishes, and local drinks, making it a great spot to sample traditional Catalan flavors. The food is delicious and freshly prepared, though prices are slightly on the higher side, which is understandable given the market’s popularity. The bar can get quite busy, adding to the vibrant energy of the place. However, it’s not the most vegan-friendly option—when we asked for vegan dishes, the eggplant came with sour cream and the mushroom plate included foie and egg, which made it difficult for our vegan friend to find suitable options. Still, the overall experience was enjoyable, and the quality and taste of the food stood out. El Quim de la Boquería is best suited for those looking to enjoy authentic market-style dining and local specialties in a lively, central setting.
I followed Phil "Somebody Feed Phil" to this marketplace to have lunch at El Quim. We expected the seats were hot so we acknowledged to the staff seats for two, and we did not wait long for our seats. Ordering was an ease, the menu was easy understanding and we ordered our food. Everyone was busy but seemed they did not forget every customer, everyone was well taken care of. The must have signature dish: baby squids on fried eggs (2 eggs) was amazing! Best eat with their crusty bread, and use the bread to soak up the sauce left on the pan. We also had the anchovies, oysters and razor clams, all were very delicious. Oh, the sangria, got to have the sangria, it went well with the food. Watching the actions in the kitchen was a bonus. We had such wonderful culinary experience, El Quim isn't just a tapas bar, it is a destination.
Great bar in the markets… probably the best… extremely friendly and efficient with the best Spanish omelette we have ever had. The seafood was delicious and all dishes came out like a high end restaurant
I had the squid fried egg here over 6 years ago, since then I've thought about it at least once a week. Luckily I had the privilege of eating here again last week and it was just as delicious as the first time, honestly for me it's the best egg dish I've ever eaten it's just absolutely perfect. To top that the staff are friendly welcoming and attentive thank you again for the best egg of my life!.
