The Delekta Review

Cooks with what the surrounding Boqueria stalls deliver each morning Counter-only kitchen — 18 stools, no tables, no reservations

Huevos fritos con chipirones — fried eggs with baby squid, the constant signature Eggs with foie gras; eggs with jamón ibérico Cigrons amb cloïsses — chickpeas with clams Xipirons amb mongetes de Santa Pau — baby squid with Santa Pau white beans Rabo de toro; costilla de cerdo at low temperature; gambas al ajillo

Opened 1987 by Quim Márquez as a five-stool stall; expanded to 18 seats over the decades Inside Mercat de la Boqueria, La Rambla 91

Working market kitchen — you sit in the middle of the Boqueria's pre-lunch energy Hours: opens 7am breakfast through lunch service; closed Sundays and Mondays

Queue forms before market opening; arrive at 7am or mid-afternoon to avoid peak crush
