Moving to Barcelona is a hundred small logistics problems at once, and one of them lands every single day: what to eat.
The supermarkets are unfamiliar, the brands are new, your kitchen isn’t set up yet, and your Spanish isn’t where you want it. So most people default to eating out or to a delivery app, and three weeks in they’re spending a fortune and eating worse than they did back home.
The newcomer food gap
This isn’t about a taste of home. It’s good food, handled, while you deal with everything else.
- No time to shop, plan, and cook in a city you’re still learning.
- Restaurants and delivery add up fast, and the quality is hit or miss.
- You want to eat like you mean it: fresh, real food, not meal-prep trays.
How we solve it
For over ten years we’ve run a private-chef arrangement in Barcelona, cooking custom plans for a small group of households. The model is simple: a real chef cooks your week around your goals and tastes, and it arrives at your door.
- Fresh, local, Mediterranean by default. Seasonal produce, good fish and meat, proper cooking. The food most people actually want once they’re here.
- Built around you. High-protein, lighter, family-style, whatever fits. Portions, restrictions, allergies, and kids’ versions all handled.
- Cooked, not assembled. No frozen trays, no ultra-processed shortcuts. It tastes chef-prepared because it is.
- Delivered fresh in a morning or evening window, stored in your fridge, ready to heat.
- Weekly plans typically from €44 per person per day, two meals (about €60 for a full day), about what a daily delivery habit already costs.
Miss a dish from home?
Tell us. If there’s something from home you want in the rotation, Frank will work it in. The core is fresh local food that makes life here easier, with room for the dishes you miss.
Settle in faster
Good food handled is one less thing between you and feeling at home.
- One less daily decision while everything else is new.
- Healthier than the restaurant-and-delivery loop, and usually cheaper.
- Hosting visiting family gets easy when the fridge is already full of real food.
When you’re ready, fill in the form: tell us your household, how many meals a week you’d want, and anything you do or don’t eat. Frank takes it from there.
