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. 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:
