For those of you who are accustomed to lunch being a sandwich and a soft drink, the idea of eating a hot meal in the middle of the day can take a little getting used to. So what are the alternatives? I know I\u2019ve had one too many disappointing experiences with Bocadillos (sandwiches). It always starts off sounding great but then the ham sandwich with all be it beautiful ham, is just that, a bread roll with some sliced ham, no butter no mayo, if you\u2019re lucky a little bit of tomato pure\u00e9 but if you\u2019re like me and crave something a little more substantial, don\u2019t fear here\u2019s a review of two of the best places to get Bocadillos in the El Gotico quarter in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

B\u00f3 de B<\/a>\u2013 worth the wait\"Bo<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may already know this one, it\u2019s the one you\u2019ve walked past and wondered why there was always a queue (even when it\u2019s closed!), now you\u2019re about to find out why. The best thing about getting a good bocadillo is the price, and in B\u00f3 de B, they offer a wide range of fantastic bocadillos that range from around \u20ac3.50 – \u20ac4.50. From outside, you can see stacks of fresh vegetables and a wide array of salads to complement freshly cooked to order chicken and beef (vegetarian offers are also available). The restaurant boasts of mix of Greek, Indian, European and African flavours and the meats are marinated in a delicate blend of herbs and spices. Prepare to be astounded at the amount of food that can actually fit into one baguette and enjoy one of the heartiest bocadillos in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Or if you don\u2019t fancy the bread, go for the salad plates which are also served in rather large portions. Also if you\u2019re luck enough, don’t forget to get a table try the bravas. B\u00f3 de B has been going strong for 6 years and due to its affordable prices, is popular with locals and backpackers alike. So if you\u2019re to prepared to wait, you won\u2019t be disappointed!<\/p>\n
