How to confirm halal status in Barcelona
- Ask directly: "¿Es halal?" — genuine halal restaurants answer clearly and many display a certificate. Check the certificate's date.
- Ask whether ALL meat is halal or only certain dishes — some mixed kitchens use different suppliers per dish.
- Confirm again for takeaway — the counter staff at busy spots aren't always the same people who set the menu.
- Check the menu boards: El Raval's halal kitchens usually advertise "halal" prominently; if you don't see it, ask.
