We recently had lunch during a visit to Monserrat and really enjoyed the experience. The meal, the…read moreservice, the ambiance were all very good--a solid 4 stars. Our cool appetizers consisted of a frisée with hummus, a puff pastry with a dollop of goat cheese, and a salmon gelatin cube with strawberries (sounds strange but was well executed and tasty). Our warm appetizers consisted of a potato croquette, chestnut broth, and octopus with a bean puree (another one that's better than it sounds). For entrées, we had a monkfish, prawn, and calamari in romesco sauce, and a confit of duck with celery purée and shoe string fries. The fish was moist and flavorful, the duck was tender and juicy. Our desserts were a crema catalan and a tortada de santa maria. The crema was was a well done custard that was lightly sweet. The tortada was similar to a tres leches cake except with one of the leches being a sour cream, so also not overly sweet, but really enjoyable. Situated in a former stable with a arched stone ceiling, the acoustics of the room dampen sound--ensuring a comfortable ambiance even with a room full of families conversing and eating. All-in-all, we really enjoyed the meal. In addition to being delicious, it was very filling. We would gladly return if ever at Monserrat again.

You pick the choice of main dish and dessert. Rest already set for the menu. Restaurant was nice and clean.. Very friendly staff. Price not too bad for all the dishes included. Tuna tar tar anchovies with some dipping sauce and many other small one biters.. Over all presentation was good.. Taste was not bad.. I ordered seafood paella, lamb shoulder. Never had paella and this was the first time.. So I don't know if it was really good.. I can say the rice was nicely cooked and soaked up all the seafood flavors. My only complaint was that it was too salty for my taste.. The lamb was not bad.. Over all the service was great food was alright.. For what you get the price was not bad. 79.00 euros after all said and done.. I probably would not come here again.. But if you happen to be up here and you are hungry and want to have nice semi fancy service.. Come try this place..

The hot foods were quite good (in particular the roast potatoes and sausage), cold salads ok, and sandwiches average. Overall probably the best place to grab lunch on Montserrat if you don't want to pay 19 euro for the buffet.

As soon as we sat down Veronica the hostess who was wonderful, smiley and most pleasant, brought us some olives and chips to munch on. She brought the menu and told us what the special of the day was, adding that if we wanted the molten cake for dessert it should be ordered in advance. This was by far the BEST restaurant we ate in Barcelona (3 weeks). The lunch menu is under 15€ and includes appetizer, main course, and dessert, included also a choice of red or white wine, delicious by the way and a bottle of two of water and free crusty bread that Monica replenished without asking. We Started with the delicious salad and goat cheese, grilled vegetables made to perfection. Two of us had the solomillo, one grilled salmon and one buttifara, all our main course we're delicious and served as requested. Now for the deserts, wow; the molten cake served with ice cream was just pure heaven, Crema Catalana smooth with a nice burnt sugar on top, the flan yummy and the almond tart with a touch of liqueur also very good. PLEASE do go and enjoy this little gem hidden on a side street. You will want to comeback.
