If you have a busy work schedule, you probably don’t have much time to sit down and eat during the day. You might find yourself getting takeaway or fast food to eat at work or at home after a long day. But instead of the usual greasy food full of preservatives, you might prefer something homemade that tastes like something you don’t have the time to cook yourself. Luckily, for people on the go, Barcelona has plenty of places where you can find homemade food prepared and ready to take out.

Since April 2013, Foc i Oli, which translates to “fire and oil,” has proven that sandwiches and burgers are not just fast food, but dishes that can be created naturally with fresh meats and elaborated with imaginative ingredients. Customers pick the bread and choose the ingredients for their burgers or specialized sandwiches, most notably the famous Uruguayan sandwich, the chivito, which world-renowned chef Anthony Bourdain called the best sandwich in the world. The best part is that you can either eat in and have a drink from the bar or take away to enjoy your meal at home. Opening days and hours are Monday – Friday from 13:00h – 16:30h and 19:00h – 23:00h and Saturday from 13:00h – 16:30h.

They are open Tuesday – Sunday from 13:00h to 1:00h, a great option for those walking near La Rambla at midnight.
