Where to eat

LOW-BUDGET

Bar Oscar
@travelnmyworld
Traditional Spanish plates at a McDonalds price. I highly recommend "ous estrellats amb xoriço"; they are fried eggs with fried potatoes and a type of Spanish sausage. The cakes, special cheese cake, are delicious.

Toni's
@travelnmyworld
Located in the Main Square of Manresa, Toni's is a family bar where locals normally order "patates braves" (fried potatoes with a typical sauce) and a beer.

MEDIUM-BUDGET

Restaurant el Traster
@travelnmyworld
All dishes are amazing; what sucks about this place is its uncommon decoration. All the objects were taken out of an old garage, so non matches with... any other object.

HIGHT-BUDGET

Pizzeria - Ristorante La Tagliatella | Manresa Centre
@travelnmyworld
In la Tagliatella they serve traditional Italian food, but we also love pasta, pizza, and those things, so go and enjoy yourself as a local would do.
