La Fabrique

Artisanal and eco-responsible bread!

Yes, at the moment we're craving good, real bread... Hence this second bakery, "La Fabrique", which we visited in just a few days.

And we were spoilt. As soon as we walked in, we knew at a glance that the bread had to be remarkable... This bakery is located in the Poble Sec, a booming district, albeit a little far from Barcelona city centre. But it's well worth the diversions. Although the ovens are electric rather than wood-fired, the rest of the production process is totally artisanal.

La Fabrique in Barcelona: A certified bread chain

Created in 2012, this bakery specialises in French bread, as its name suggests, and prides itself on being part of the totally ecological sector, with the European CCPAE label in particular. This label guarantees that the products are developed and produced in accordance with European organic farming standards. So much for the eco-responsible side of this team. As for the bread, it's a gustatory delight, repeated with each bite and each new loaf.
