Foodball Review

Foodball is another concept from hyper-successful shoe company Camper. It's a cafe and takeout joint located near the MACBA museum, and the clientele reflects the neighborhood's neo-hippie vibe. The foodballs in question are whole-grain macrobiotic rice balls stuffed with organic mushrooms, chickpeas, tofu and alga, or chicken. Take them out in stylish recycled lunchboxes or park yourself on the grandstand-style seating. Besides the foodballs, the only other produce available is fresh or dried fruit, juices, and purified water. If all this sounds just a bit too smug, don't be put off: Healthy fast food is scarce in Barcelona, and the foodballs are very, very tasty.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
