Must Try
Traditional Catalan dishes - the escudella (stew), fricandó, or seasonal calçots. Nothing fancy, just history. The set lunch menu is good value.
Best Time
Lunch for the set menu value. The historic atmosphere deserves daylight appreciation. Tourist-ish but genuine.
Know Before You Go
Barcelona's oldest restaurant - since 1786. The decor is original. Traditional Catalan cuisine, not innovation. The history is the draw. Tourist-frequented but historically significant.
