Croquettes, like bravas, are the hallmark of a bar. You can see them coming. Some may say that making croquettes or bravas is easy, but how many bad ones have you eaten? Exactly, many.
To taste the croquettes of a bar is to take the pulse of its cuisine. We don’t want to sound intense, but the croquette is part for the whole. A croquette tells you about the rest of the product that is served there, the love of its cooks, the desire of the team. Good croquettes are the prelude to a good experience.
And as we are sometimes tired of being the ones to recommend, this time we get out of the limelight so that you, readers, are the ones to recommend your favorite croquettes in Barcelona. Here they go.
The Medusa 73

Located in the Ninot Market, this market cuisine stall has been the most named among our readers for its croquettes. That is why it is at the top of the list. At La Medusa 73, specialists in seafood, they make them with hake, cuttlefish in its own ink, shrimp. etc.

The Gourmet Bar

Essentially a tasca, but at the same time much more, La Barra del Gourmet is one of the must stops on this route. And as there is no good tasca with bad croquettes, this kitchen’s croquettes are to die for.

Catacroquet

Another of the most referenced by our readers. They have two locations. One in Poblenou, which they define as “hip-hop, croquettes, tapas, sun, laughter”, and another in the Born, to which they apply the concepts “fish market, croquettes, oysters, bubbles, jazz, love”. Two very different atmospheres where croquettes are never missing.

Croq&Roll

This croqueteria in the neighborhood of Gràcia is another of the most mentioned by readers. Craft beer and about 20 different flavors made croquettes. That could be the perfect summary.

Mr. Vermut

We already talked about Senyor Vermut in our route through the best bravas in Barcelona, ranking elaborated by @BravasBarcelona in which, by the way, it was in first place. But we have also been recommended their croquettes and we have to admit that they are phenomenal. Who illustrates the photo, by the way, is its owner. An artist.
Bodegueta Sant Andreu

Another one of those taverns with a lot of good vibes. A place of all the life that incorporates to the traditional tapas the good thing that is to come. And far from the center, Barcelona is not only the Born.

Pacomeralgo

When what’s on the plate looks simple, the product has to be the best. That is what Pacomeralgo is all about. And their chicken and ham croquettes are spectacular.
