The Raval's great bistro: Catalan grandmother cooking passed through a serious modern kitchen — the steak tartare on marrow bone is the dish everyone leaves talking about. On the rougher, realer stretch of the Rambla del Raval, it cooks with more soul per euro than almost anywhere in the city centre, which is exactly why the tables are full of locals celebrating things.
