Xurreria dels Banys Nous

The only shop to go to for churros if you are visiting the city. After several disappointing churros experience we stumbled upon this little hole in the wall. The churros are crispy on the outside, soft in the inside. Light and didn’t feel greasy at all. Forget the hot chocolate.

A great introduction to Churros in Spain!
These were the first churros I’ve had outside of the US, and they were delicious! For 3.20 you get a small (definitely enough for one person) serving of churros and a cup of chocolate to dip in. They add a LOT of sugar, so speak up quickly if you don’t want this, but I decided to try it the authentic way and just go for it! I definitely couldn’t make these a regular part of my diet, but I’m so glad I tried them and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting.
Pro Tip: The cup of warm chocolate is bigger than needed for the serving size of churros, so if you have some left you can head to nearby Mercado de La Boqueria and get a cup of fresh fruit to dip in it for only 1 Euro.

Crujientes, dulces pero no demasiado, siempre frescos y a punto, nunca grasientos. Esta es mi xurreria favorita de Barcelona. El personal amable, el local como de los años 60, los precios muy correctos y el placer inmenso. ¡Vamos pallá!

A no-​nonsense little spot with delicious freshly fried churros! Just got a bag of them with sugar for 1.2 euros which is awesomely cheap for such deliciousness. Really, there isn’t much more to be said. Go get yourself some delicious churros.

I found food in La Rambla amazingly upsetting, but I found this place amazing. It’s obviously better than the stuff here in the US and La Rambla and would go there again in a heartbeat. The chocolate is similar to the pure tsikwate I had in a Filipino province (except thicker), and the churros mixed amazingly with them. They are perfectly cooked and not greasy. I ended up eating churros for breakfast for 2 straight days.

About as affordable as you can get for churros. They serve them by weight here, and they serve them cheap, so expect an order of 5 – 6 small churros to run you only about 1.5 euro. This is actually a great portion, because you can split it with a group of friends and each sample it out (or just consume it all yourself. When can’t you use more churros?) You can add a cup of chocolate to it for another 2 euro or so, and you’ll get piping hot semi-​sweet chocolate that isn’t overpoweringly sugary, but very dense. Great for dipping, though if you’re too lazy to bring churro to cup and then to mouth, you can skip that step and order pre-​coated chocolate churros.
The churros are unsweetened, and the chocolate is only marginally sweet, so the major downside is that if you expect some more complex flavors you probably won’t get them here. In fact, I feel like it could have benefited from at least a little bit of sugar and cinnamon on the churro itself so that it could stand on its own without the chocolate (and to prevent it from being overpowered by the chocolate when eaten in conjunction). However they are served hot, they are crispy, they are cheap, and they are simply authentic so for a classic churro you can’t go wrong with Xurreria.

J’avais lu, ici et sur d’autres sites, que Xurreria était certainement le meilleur stand à churros de Barcelone; et bien je n’ai pas été déçue !
De l’extérieur, l’échoppe pourrait relativement passer inaperçue. Petite et dans une rue étroite peu fréquentée (le dimanche, en tout cas), on né penserait pas forcément trouver son bonheur ici.
Suivant les chaudes recommandations des internautes, nous sommes donc allés commander deux cornets de churros: traditionnels, au sucre, et recouverts de chocolat. Habituellement rapidement écœurée par le côté très gras de cette gourmandise, je n’en ai pas laissé une miette ! J’aurais même du mal à départager les churros au sucre des churros au chocolat tellement j’ai aimé les deux.
Croustillants à l’extérieur, moelleux à cœur et surtout, étrangement léger pour quelque chose de frit, je me suis régalée ! Le chéri, qui d’ailleurs n’aime pas vraiment ça habituellement, a même eu du mal à m’en laisser, haha.
Et le prix? Riquiqui par rapport aux churros (pas bons) des fêtes foraines en France: 1,20 g les 100 g, soit à peu près 5 churros.
Si vous avez une petite faim et que vous passez dans le quartiez, vous savez où vous arrêter. ;)

We gave up all hope of having churros in Spain because this place was closed all 3 times we went. We tried to swing by at different times at night on different days to see if we could catch them open, but they were always shuttered. The operating hours were definitely not accurate.
We actually did give up, and just happened to walk past it on our way to a different shop and saw that it was open in the day!
Apparently you order it by the bag full, not per churro. I asked for two chocolate churros, and was given a whole bag. The churros aren’t FRESH hot, but they were definitely made the day of, and were still crispy.
***GET THE CHOCOLATE ONES!

For a little over a euro, you receive a great portion of fresh, hot churros. Lightly sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, these fried wonders will make your day.
I ordered a cup of hot chocolate on the side which added a little extra treat. However, the churros can surely stand alone.

A must when visiting Barcelona!
A small bag of churros (8 – 9) pieces and a cup of dipping chocolate was only 3.70 €
Be careful! The cup of chocolate was PIPING hot! There’s no seats inside so this place is great for a quick snack before or after sightseeing.

We just happened to stumble upon this place that was on my list of «to try» places. We weren’t hungry, but I was craving something sweet, and € 0.40 for a churro was so worth it. I had one covered in dark chocolate, so it was super chocolatey, not too sweet, and still really crisp inside. This hit the spot.

fresh morning churros, perfectly fried but don’t recommend the carnation powder style chocolate dipping sauce. better sugar sprinkled «donut» without it

Best churros I’ve ever eaten.
This place is all about broiling stuff in oil: Churros, Chips etc. And they are extremely good at it and cheap.
They serve the churros with a smile and a cop of hot chocolate for dunkin’ the churros into. Yummy

If you come here in the afternoon after thier siesta time closure, you’ll more likely get an old room temperature batch (from the morning sales) of churros vs ‘pipping hot’ ones as some have described.
So — I came back and lurked outside and waited for a fresh batch to be released.
Finally — i got a pipping hot churro which was amazing!

Crunchy yummy non-​oily churros — the only let down is the hot chocolate which was watery and bland instead of rich and thick, but the CHURROS made up for that.

One of the most authentic «Xurro» places you can find in Barcelona — homemade, fresh, & fast. There’s no room inside to sit or hang out however, but it further proves that they’re not messing around.

Definitely worth all of the glowing reviews. This place was home to the freshest churros we have found. After one too many glasses of sangria, I stumbled (quite literally) into Xurreria and it was beyond glorious. A fresh and crispy come of churros for just over a euro. My hubby and I got one serving to share and legit turned around about 15 minutes later to get another serving. #fatkidsforlife
This time, the churros were freshly fried, sprinkled with sugar and accompanied by some hot chocolate. So delish. The place loses a star because the hot chocolate was no bueno.
However, the churros themselves were simple, authentic, light (somehow) and delicious!!!

Yo también soy fan de esta churrería donde el protagonista es el buen churro y no el aceite ni el azúcar. Me acuerdo de los churros de Banys Nous y los echo mucho de menos… Maravillosos domingos en los que, después de la carrera deportiva y tempranera a lo largo y ancho del barrio, aterrizaba en el pequeño local churrero donde el buen señor me servia mi dosis semanal de «Ch». El ultimo verano, volví al barrio, a pedirme una ración, y cual fue mi sorpresa al ser servida por el hijo de aquel amable comerciante. Felicidades, familia!

Great fresh churros was surprising harder to find in Barcelona than in other parts of Spain, however this mom and pop shop was definitely the best in the city. It’s a no frills, has no seating but delicious. Definitely recommend if you are walking around in the Gotic area.

We went to Xuerreria first because of the awesome Unilocal reviews, then went to La Pallaresa because a Tour book had mentioned it was the place to go. Noticed this place had very similar Churros to the ones at Xurreria except they were colder. Went back to Xurreria and found out that they made the Churros for La Pallaresa!
Moral of the story: Stick with Xurreria. Best in town. I miss the Churros here on an almost daily basis!

Toute petite échoppe qui propose uniquement des churros, de différents goûts.
Très simple mais super bon! A conseiller d’urgence pour tous les amateurs à la recherché du meilleur churros de Barcelone! :-)

In-​and-​out before you can blink there is a cone of wondrous churros in your hand. Get the chocolate ones and don’t look back.

Definitely one of the best churros i’ve tasted. I’d compare it to Disneyland’s (Anaheim) churros, lol. Much better than any store bought churros, or NYC subway churros (yuck!)!
I didn’t try anything else because when you’re visiting a foreign place you go to 20 different eateries in one day but can only try 1 thing to give your belly some room.
It’s a small shop but if you’re in the area you’d be a fool not to check it out.

I always stop by this place for the churros. Delicious and great to snack on while walking around the side streets of la rablas. I couldn’t find it the third time I was here in barcelona so had to rely on Unilocal for the addy. Only 1 euro for a cone of churros!

Churros clásicos y sin florituras. Entras, pides 100 gramos, si quieres azúcar o no y listo, pagas 1 euro y listo! recibes tu conito de churros recién hechos (en la mayoría de los casos) y te vas tan contento/​a por ahí a caminar. Lástima que para los guiris no resulte tan sencillo y cada vez hay más filas de ellos en el pequeño local. También hay churros de chocolates, cortezas y demás frituras varias. ¡Todo un clásico!

Xurrería de toda la vida donde las haya. El churrero todavía anda con la clásica bata blanca y el sombrero.
¿Qué encontramos? Pues churros, normales y de chocolate y a buen precio.
Sólo por rememorar otros tiempos ya basta.
Luego te los comes paseando por el Call.

Domingo. Muy temprano. Demasiado temprano. No sé por qué carajo me he levantado tan temprano. ¿Será porque sólo llevo unos días en mi nuevo piso y todavía estoy en proceso de aclimatación? ¡Será, será! Me tomo un café, me ducho y salgo a la calle a pasear. ¡No son ni les 8.00 h! Paseo un poco por mi nuevo barrio y, de pronto, un fuerte y delicioso olor a churro me hace entrar un apetito que «paqué». Bueno… Llámale apetito, llámale capricho o, sencillamente, llámale gula. El caso es que estoy en la Calle Banys Nous, justo enfrente de una churrería pequeñita y sencilla que me dice a gritos: ¡Compra churros! Naturalmente obedezco. Los compro, salgo otra vez a la calle, cojo uno, lo pruebo y… ¡Oh, sí! ¡Felicidad en mayúsculas!
Desde aquel día, ya tengo plan los domingos excesivamente matutinos. ¡Desde aquel día ya tengo churrería y alegría!

No huele a feria ni a empalago dulzón. La churrería de la calle Banys Nous es «molt fi». Peligro de cogerlo por rutina/​ritual de domingo. Como el ir a misa, oiga.
Es un local pequeño, antiguo (llevan ahí más de 50 años), en el que predomina el color metal de cocina e instrumentos. Verá en vivo y en directo cómo van trabajando en cuanto la cola se vaya dando por terminada y le toque su turno (será rápido).
Los churros de chocolate son la especialidad de la casa. Y no me creo que haya alguien con el valor de pasar de largo.
