Frankfurt Pedralbes

Also known as Frankfurt Casa Vallés, Frankfurt Pedralbes has offered the best sandwiches of Barcelona. It is well-known in the city by the students because it is next to Campus Nord (an university in Barcelona). 

It is a normal and little local but it offers a great variety of sausages (frankfurts, cervelas, malagueñas, burgalesas, chistorras…) and hamburguers, all of them of great quality and homemade. And that is the secret of the restaurant: the quality of the meat, which is handcrafted – they even sell it to other establishments of the city. 

The sandwiches are big and you’ll be full once you finish your meal. It is like a Fast-Food place but with more quality. 

The stuff is fast and correct even if the restaurant is crowded.
