Best Fast Food Restaurants in Barcelona
While Barcelona has plenty of fabulous markets full of fresh and colourful produce to prepare at home, sometimes all you really need is something quick and cheap. And while we highly encourage you to take advantage of the wealth of fresh seafood, world-class cheeses and hams, we also understand that sometimes a plain burger with a side of fries hits the spot best. Whether you’re craving a slice of pizza, gooey mozzarella sticks, chicken nuggets or a hot dog, Barcelona has a wide range of options when it comes to fast-food, and we’re not talking about McDonald’s or KFC… We have rounded up the 3 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Barcelona.
Pans & Company
This fantastic fast food restaurant first opened in 1991 and has since then spread to several locations all over Spain.

They also have a nice selection of sides, including french fries, the local favourite patatas bravas, chicken nuggets and onion rings.

You will also have the option to choose from several spectacular, home-made sauces – everything from the traditional ketchup or mayonnaise to Greek yoghurt, garlicky aioli and brava sauce.

Bacoa
And then there’s the most emblematic centrepiece of a classic fast-fool meal, the juicy burger.

The meat used to make Bacoa’s burgers is organic and can be traced back to certified Spanish farms. They offer a wide variety of options, including the traditional beef burger, along with vegan and vegetarian burgers, even a chicken burgers. For those one a gluten–free diet, they also offer burgers as salads, without the bread. As you arrive, simply tick off the type of signature burger you want or custom-select your toppings.
