What is Bitemojo?
Bitemojo is a mobile application that allows you to explore local food in a city from a foodie perspective. You will explore a certain area on the city based on different bites you can try while making your tour.
In the following video, you can see a little bit of my experience using bitemojo and doing this food tour in Barcelona. This app is actually available to tour in cities such as Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Berlin, Rome, and many others.
Doing bitemojo food tour in Barcelona
Bitemojo offers two food tours in Barcelona. These tours will help you understand better how to explore the local food in Barcelona: one around the Gothic Quarter and one around Mercado de la Boqueria. I had the opportunity to make the Gothic Quarter tour; it was one of the most amazing experiences I ever had. The tour starts from the Cathedral, and it takes you to different points around the Gothic Quarter through the bites and through the different sites around the Gothic that you need to see.
My first bite during this food tour was an amazing brownie in Cafe d’Estiu on the patio inside Frederic Mares Museum. It was definitely great to start with some sweets. This patio situates you in the vibe of the Gothic Quarter, and that brownie prepares you for all the other bites you will try on this food tour in Barcelona.

The other bites in these food tours in Barcelona include Patatas Bravas and Caña, Pinchos with Vermouth, Quiche with Refreshment (couldn’t try it during my tour), and Ice Cream.
When it comes to sightseeing, one of the best places you will get to see while during the food tour is definitely the Sant Felip Neri Square, which is also a place filled with the darkest history of the city of Barcelona and bitemojo gives you all the juice on it.

Food tours in Barcelona: What did I like the most about the bitemojo tour?
Trying to blend with the Gothic Quarter
What I loved the most from these food tours in Barcelona ALWAYS will be the bites! I totally recommend taking this tour if you want to discover new places to go to later on and have that little taste of local food in Barcelona you’ll need to discover for other courses. The best part is that you’re actually getting to know the city while trying amazing food. I must say that, from this tour, I definitely discovered some of my new favorite places in Barcelona.
If I had to mention which was my favorite bite, I would say that it was definitely the ice cream from Swiit. I tried a banana-flavored cone, which was the best way to end the tour. Their ice creams are artisan-made, and you can feel the quality of the product. While living in Catalonia, I got to try a lot of Ice Creams Shoppes around. This one was definitely one of my favorite things while doing these food tours in Barcelona.
I advise indulging this ice cream during the tour, but don’t forget to go back for more later!
