If you’re serious about how you eat — whether that’s because you train hard, have kids to feed, or just don’t want to spend your week shopping and cooking — Barcelona has more options now than ever. Many are mediocre. A handful are genuinely good.
Here’s the short, opinionated list. I’ll keep updating as the landscape changes. If you know a place that belongs, leave a comment.
Three categories of healthy food delivery in Barcelona:
1. Fully Customized — a private chef, designed around you
A chef who actually cooks for you, on an ongoing basis, with the plan built around your goals, allergies, training load, and dietary preferences. It’s the gold standard — and rarer than you’d think.
For the last few years we’ve been running this quietly for my family and a small group of friends. We’ve now opened it up properly at HealthyFoodBCN.com. Weekly plans typically run €25–35 per day, cover breakfast through dinner, and can be coordinated with a nutritionist if you want one. Fresh delivery in a morning or evening window.
If you want this level of customization, that’s the place to go.
2. Calorie-based meal plans (fitness-focused)
Pre-built plans with macro and calorie info. Good if you care about hitting specific targets without bespoke plan design.
3. Meal Ingredient Delivery (you cook, they shop)
You get the ingredients and the recipe. You still cook — but the friction of shopping and planning is gone. Good if you enjoy cooking but hate the logistics.
4. Healthy food delivery restaurants
Restaurants that consistently put out high-quality healthy food via delivery without being as strict or prescriptive as the categories above. Good for ad-hoc ordering.
If there are days when you do want to cook at home, the FitMenCook app is excellent for recipes — with video instructions, and available in English and Spanish.

Worth watching, as the model tends to come to Europe eventually:
