Bacoa Universitat

Let me put this as clearly as possible: Bacoa serves the absolute best burgers in Barcelona. Period. Don’t believe me? Just head to one of the many Bacoa outlets around the city, or stop by their fast-casual outpost Kiosko, and order one. Trust me, you’ll become a convert.

Bacoa’s success, in my opinion, lies in its ability to expertly straddle the line between gourmet burgers and lip-smacking dive bar burgers. Yes, you can order your burgers with organic Pyrenean beef and top it with everything from Manchego cheese to teriyaki sauce to tomato chutney, but your burger never loses that satisfyingly low-brow greasiness that we all look for in a great burger.
