Gourmet, gluten-free hamburgers in Barcelona – sí, they exist!

Gluten-free gourmet hamburger!




Sorry to post again about food, but this place is definitely a must-go! Personally, I never visit McDonalds, Burger King or any of those places – I just find the “food”, not to mention the atmosphere, simply disgusting. I also got an allergy for wheat and other cereals five years ago which has obviously had quite an influence to my diet, nowadays gluten-free with some special tricky additions. Because of that, I rarely have a chance to eat pizza, pasta, baguettes and especially hamburgers. Therefore I could not been happier about finding El Filete Ruso, which was love at first sight!

This little restaurant, or Hamburgueseria as they call it, is on Calle Enric Granados in Eixample, a street famous for its great restaurants. El Filete Ruso’s idea is to offer gourmet hamburgers made of best ingredients with slow-food mentality. They do not mention it in the menu, but almost all the burgers are available gluten-free.

The hamburgers come on a plain plate looking like little pieces of art, so if you’re a fan of french fries, they need to be ordered separately. Prices of hamburgers were 8-10 euros, starters 4-10 euros. In total we spend about 20 euros per person including starters, drinks and hamburgers. The dinner hours start at 20:30h,  they do take reservations but in case you don't have one it’s recommendable to come on time: at 21h it was already packed and people were waiting for tables(on Tuesday evening!)
