Since 1924, down a lane in the lower Gothic where the tourist current never quite reaches: wood panelling, white cloths, paintings bought from customers across a century, and Catalan cooking that never blinked at fashion. The bacallà is a house argument — cod done the old ways, properly — alongside game in season, cap i pota and a wine list that respects the neighbourhood. This is the dining room old Barcelona kept for itself.

The bacallà however the kitchen is running it, or the game in season; start with whatever the waiter says the market gave them.

A 1924 Catalan classic in the quiet lower Gothic, family-run across generations. Reserve for lunch, come for the bacallà, and let the century-old room set the pace.
