Recommendations

"The churros were freshly made. Crispy and warm churros, sprinkled in sweet sugar, which were the perfect partner for the rich and creamy chocolate. Churrería Layetana was the perfect little place for some churros in Barcelona."

"Counted as one of the most favourite Churros joints is the one called Churrería Layetana. Brimming with its old-school charm, littered floors with discarded paper napkins and the sugar and chocolate hung in the air; this is one place you wouldn’t want to miss!"

"Going on a mission for Spanish churros is going to take a toll on your waistline, but the churros at Xurreria Laietana will definitely make it worth the while. There is only one item on the menu – Chocolate Con Churros."

on Churros

"The churros are crispy on the outside and soft and savoury on the inside. The granulated sugar clings to its outside in greasy clumps. The hot chocolate seems bitter and dark next to the churros. On its own, it’s sweet and eagerly forms a skin (the best part) as soon as it is left unprodded for some minutes."

"You should have seen how my face lit up when I saw the lights on and the guy making fresh churros. We waited on the line patiently, until our turn came while people enjoyed their fresh churros and chocolate. Doesn’t it look good?"

"Both the churros were amazing. The naked churro (I coined this term) was fresh out of the oil, super crunchy, the batter was delicious. The chocolate on the chocolate churro was also super crunch and the churro itself maintained its delicious taste."

"I equally enjoyed them with and without chocolate."

"Located in Via Laietana near the metro station Urquinaona, the Churrería Laietana is a small café offering different kinds of high quality churros for a very low price, all in a friendly and pleasant atmosphere. According to its regular customers, it is the best place to eat churros con chocolate not only in Barcelona but in the whole country!"

"Churrería Laietana has been serving some of the best churros in Barcelona since 1985. The shop is small but delightfully local. Good churros are crispy outside and soft inside and Churrería Layetana knows how to make them right."

"Run by the same couple for decades—he works the fryer, she takes the orders and prepares the drinks—their churros are crispy on the outside and amazingly soft inside."
