This little gem of a butcher shop is located inside the Santa Caterina market. Found it on my last…read moremorning in Barcelona and was blown away by the array of ham and cured meats that they offer. Since locals shop at this market, the prices are much more reasonable. I found some delicious ham and salami to gift, and the woman at the counter vacuum sealed it for me at no charge. Great gifts under 10 euros!

Beautiful, high-end iberico ham shop! As soon as you step in, they will ask if you'd like a sample…read moreof their finest iberico ham! And they will give you samples of whatever ham they have out for carving. The gentlemen helping us was very nice and informative. Each piece we had was flavorful and yummy! The ham that was aged longer was easier to chew with less resistance. We decided to purchase the highest quality aged 5 years, which was less salty, but robust in meaty flavor. It was absolutely delicious with rustic French bread from the bakery close to our hotel. If you're sightseeing near Casa Batllo, it's only a 3-5 minute walk around the corner! We're not iberico ham connoisseurs and I'm not sure whether or not we could tell the difference between high end or mid range iberico ham. They're all very good! We probably could have gotten some less pricey ones from the markets and would have been just as satisfied. But nonetheless, it was nice to buy something luxurious to enjoy while in Spain.

We felt we found a gem in this district as we tried plates of cheeses and hams, delicious wine and champagne, and a lovely atmosphere. The employees were outstanding.

As a local citizen I was intrigued when this butchers first opened, I was curious about the…read moredifferent types of meat they had as he displays the Irish flag outside as well as on his instagram page which was curious to me as I prefer meat from Ireland and Argentina since they have much better grass and you can see and taste the difference. I was very dissatisfied and will never support this man's business after me and my wife went in to support him and he could not have been more rude about the fact that "no we only sell local meat here" , I would say he is aggressive and racist and should not run any business (especially with sharp knifes involved) .. My wife and I could not get away quickly enough out of the shop and we both agreed never to return there again. It really is a shame in a small community where we all just want to live in peace with each other to see this level of racism and discrimination from a business owner!

Busy establishment but quick service, you get called by a number you grab when entering. I purchased goat cheese, Gouda cheese with cumin, cheese with olive oil and jamón to bring back home.

We happened upon Basilica de Santa Maria Del Mar and purchased tickets to go to the top (I know…read morethis is now mixing reviews, but do this). From the top I saw this shop. As we wanted a dinner where we did not go out, I had to go here. After siesta, I returned to shop and the place was packed. The majority of the staff seemed to speak fluent English as I heard a few speaking with non-Spaniards. I conversed in Spanish and the woman that helped me explained a couple of items I was not familiar with and then helped me with an aged manchego, a truffle pecorino, Jamon Iberico and variation of butifarra with pepper on the outside as well as a nice cold bottle of cava. The butcher meat looked incredible with a number of sausages and cuts that I would have loved to have the chance to cook up. This won't be for everyone, some people don't want to deal with not eating out and I get it, but if you want to have a quiet meal that is easy, come get some cured meats and a nice cava. If you've rented a house, come get some great looking cuts and make yourself a meal you won't forget.
