Amazing brunch place! We’ve been there several times already and it never disappoints. They have a collaboration with an egg farm and you can really taste the difference, they enhance every dish!!! My personal recommendations would be the eggs Benedict and the burger. This place is just so yummy 🤤

What an absolute gem of Barcelona! First off the food, the pulled pork tacos and drunken prawns were absolutely outstanding, 100% the best food I have had in my many visits to Barcelona. I’d just like to mention the wonderful service from all the staff who are so welcoming and attentive. Particularly a lovely waitress named Chloe who took the time to explain the dishes and give great recommendations which I was extremely happy with. She made us feel very at home and made the experience of your lovely establishment even better. We will 100% be back before we leave 🙂

Gracias Firebug, siempre es una buena experiencia, excelente comida, buen servicio de I came here last week as I was passing by in the street, and well I am glad that I discovered this place. Firstly the girl that served us Chloe was a ball of energy – she was so accommodating from the start and made sure our drinks were never empty. She was a great laugh! I had the chicken tenders and the gyozas as a snack and well, they’re the best chicken tenders I’ve had in BCN. This is a really good spot to go to – nice location, amazing staff and great food. 10/10 recommend and will be back!!

Had the pleasure to eat at Firebug last month, it was honestly a good pick. We didn’t know the place but it was recommended by someone we knew. The food was surprisingly very tasteful, the service was impeccable thanks to the waiters Martin and Brenda. I really had a very nice lunch so I would definitely recommend if you want to eat good food, there’s many options for every type of foodie! We also opted for cocktails and they were super refreshing as well. Next time I come to Barcelona I’m surely coming back.

A smooth new sipping stop from the people that brought you Milk and Marmalade, Firebug is a bar, bistro and restaurant in one in a gorgeous light-filled two-floor space on the pleasant Passeig de Sant Joan boulevard. Antique suitcases have died a noble death in order to grace the counter of the sturdy slaloming bar, eye-catching rugs and cushions with bright ethnic patterns have been liberally scattered around both decks, and dusty hardback tomes of Spanish classics convey a welcome air of sophistication.
Passeig de San Joan is becoming the city’s foodie heaven with many great brunch places to choose from. Firebug is one of them! Located close to Arc de Triomf this is the perfect spot for a brunch before enjoying a walk down to my favourite park, Park Ciutadella.
