Entrepanes Díaz

Nestled in Barcelona’s upper Eixample neighborhood, Entrepanes Díaz is a delightfully old-school sandwich shop brought to you by the same team behind the beloved Bar Mut. Step inside and you’ll find yourself transported to a different era, where bow-tied waiters in pressed white shirts and waistcoats take genuine pride in getting your order just right.

The sandwiches here are nothing short of joyful, bursting with classic Iberian ingredients that showcase Spain’s culinary heritage. The star of the show is undoubtedly the calamari baguette—a juicy, perfectly prepared squid sandwich that locals swear is the best in all of Barcelona. For those craving something heartier, the oxtail sandwich delivers with tender meat, a kick of spicy mayo, salty parmesan, and peppery arugula all working in harmony.

Beyond the sandwiches, there’s a solid selection of tapas that makes this spot perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance between casual and attentive, with service that feels genuinely warm rather than hurried. It’s the kind of place where you can pop in for a bite and leave feeling like you’ve discovered something special.

Whether you’re refueling after exploring Park Güell or simply hunting for an affordable lunch that doesn’t sacrifice quality, Entrepanes Díaz delivers. Come hungry, order the calamari baguette, and let the old-world charm work its magic.
