Best Grill & Asador
The best asadors and grill restaurants in Barcelona have nothing to prove: they let the fire do the work. The serious versions in this collection are defined by sourcing — specific cuts from named breeds, fish landed at a named port, vegetables chosen for their suitability to heat — rather than theatrical technique. Barcelona's Basque and Galician grill tradition runs deep, and several of the restaurants here draw directly from it; others bring South American and Argentine braising traditions into the city's produce-first framework. At the top of this list, the discipline over fire rivals anything in the country.
