Welcome to the iconic Frankfurt Sant Jaume in Barcelona! This place is much more than a mere sandwich establishment; it's a living piece of the city's history. Since 1955, it has been crafting some of the most iconic sandwiches in Barcelona, rivalling in fame only with the classic Barcelona bikini (grilled ham and cheese sandwich).
But let me share something curious and enchanting about this spot: you might walk past it without even noticing, it's that small. With a bar that comfortably fits only 2 people, it's the quintessential nook that beckons you to dive into the city's authenticity. Due to its size, the most common practice is to order the sandwiches to go. Imagine wandering through the historic streets of Barcelona, enjoying a legendary sandwich in hand; like lovers used to do in the past, when leisure options were limited to walking through the city hand in hand.
The variety of sandwiches here is astounding – more than 20, each one more delicious than the last. And the best part is that despite their fame and quality, the prices are surprisingly accessible. It's a luxury available to everyone.
Located in a prime spot in the city, Frankfurt Sant Jaume isn't just a meeting point for food lovers but also a testament to Barcelona's evolution. If you're looking to savor a piece of Barcelona's gastronomic history, enjoy exquisite sandwiches without worrying about the price, and experience a unique and characterful spot, Frankfurt Sant Jaume is your must-visit destination.
