Top 10 Best Steakhouses in Barcelona
Steak is a thriving cuisine culture all across Spain. The Spanish lee the flavor of older meat and in-bone cuts; more than this, they love steaks so big that they have to be shared between two people.
In Barcelona you’ll find no shortage of steakhouse options for when the craving sets in. Take a break from sampling the foreign cuisine and dig into any of the following more familiar options:
1. 9 Reinas in Barcelona

9 Reinas claims to have some of the best meat cuts in the world, and almost all previous diners would agree wholeheartedly with this statement. They view steaks as an art, and it shows.
