I’ve been living in Barcelona for several years and although taken for granted in most cities, the humble croissant of the french butter style is rarer in Barcelona that a real Madrid football fan. Tucked away on the quiet pedestrian street behind calle Princesa is the home of the Croissanteria Frances. When I first stumbled upon it I was happy as can be, it was a Saturday morning and I picked up some along with the most delicious chocolate and cream pastries and some danish. With your stash of fresh pastries on board, next step is surely where to go for coffee and shamelessly eat what are the best quality and best value croisssants and co. in town.
