Aniston Asked:

I am planning to travel to Barcelona this October. I would like to go on budget since my story for a budget Travel Mag is about budget trips. I am thinking of eating breakfast (cereals) at my friend's house. What I'd like to know is the average cost of lunch and dinner at a restaurant (nothing fancy) in Barcelona proper. I've read in some of the responses about a "market". Are there restaurants near the market? Thank you for your time.

For lunch your best travel budget mag bet is to look for a nice "menu del día". Most restaurants in Barcelona (except the fancy expensive ones) offer that. It's an offer during lunch time that includes two dishes (from a closed list to choose from), drink and dessert for a closed price, between 8 and 15 euros, depending on quality and area of the city.
For dinner is a bit more complicated as very few restaurants offer closed menus (although there are a few) and generally they are more expensive. Expect around 15-20 for something simple like a pizza and a beer.

The market is a good idea for a fast lunch. For example in La Boqueria you can have a quick dish of fresh pasta for around 5 euros. You can find similar offers in other markets and also small restaurants/bars that will offer you a "menu del dia" (cheap and generally good quality).
