Sandwichez
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
This small sandwich chain, set up by the ex-manager of the Vienna bar, serves hot and cold sandwiches made using good ingredients and lots of imagination. The most successful variety is the New Yorker, a pastrami delicacy that includes spinach, mustard and fried onions. The coffee is very good, and the milk is fresh from the farm. There are two other bars in the chain, at Amigó, 63 and Via Augusta, 117.

Panino Silvestre
- Critics choice
The fashion entrepreneur Gonzalo Comellas has reinvented himself as a sandwich entrepreneur. Panino Silvestre is a result of his stays in Milan: They serve real Italian sandwiches, just as they should be; hot outside and cold inside. The sausages are shipped in directly from Milan. You can try delicacies such as the porchetta (roast pork barbecued with honey) and tasty piadinas.

Bar Guixot
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
A sandwich, a salad or a crepe for lunch or dinner. So far, nothing new. But for anyone who has never visited the Guixot, what awaits you is a ‘before’ and ‘after’ experience. The sandwiches here come in many different types and delicious combinations (try the Gòtic, which features chicken, avocado, eggplant, brie and mayonnaise). The same goes for the crepes and the salads. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is excellent.

El Jabalí
- Rated as: 4/5
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
This deli bar, which is reminiscent of Parallel in its heyday, is a great place to eat wonderful tapas-try the patatas bravas, the chicken salad and the cured sausage-while sipping on good wine. It’s also a nice place to sit on the terrace and do some serious people-watching.

Quimet d'Horta
- Price band: 1/4
This corner bar has been around for so long that it has become a true institution in the Horta neighbourhood. Their sandwiches (especially the omelettes) are revered throughout the city.

Sagàs
- Price band: 3/4
- Critics choice
The Rovira brothers, from the Michelin-starred farmhouse-restaurant Els Casals de Sagàs, have set up shop in Barcelona. Here they practice the noble art of the gourmet sandwich, stuffed with meats and vegetables that they produce on their farm in Bages. It’s worth trying such delicacies as their Chinese sandwich with bacon. Everything straight from the land, with no middlemen involved.
