NOTE: It's helpful to speak Catalán, or at least passable (Castilian) Spanish here, as there are no…read moreEnglish menus available, and the staff does not speak much English.
That said, the food here is great! The menu lists traditional dishes from across Catalonia as well as various other provinces of Spain. Prices here are moderate, and well in line with similar restaurants. A "menú al día" is also available, even on weekends. That is a bonus!
We opted for the menú. The list of dishes available for your first and second courses is pretty extensive, and even has a few vegetarian options. I've been eating a pretty fair amount of the local cuisine lately, and had been hankering for a salad - so that's what I chose for the first course. It was... Enormous. Delicious. Complex. Satisfying. It had just the right amount of cheese, nuts, seeds, dried fruit and fresh strawberries to make it a significant part of the meal. It was terrific! For my second course, I opted for the Bacalao (codfish). Usually prepared from salt cod, this dish can occasionally be a bit too salty for my taste. To their credit, however, they served it with a type of baked bean that really ameliorated the salt. Well done! Oh, and the fish itself was firm and flavorful - and a generous portion, to boot. My wife selected the Hake, which came with a confit of sautéed onions, potatoes and raisins, all baked on the fish. Delicious!
Even the dessert card was pretty long. I went with the flan and cream, and my wife had the cheesecake. The flan was extraordinary, and the cheesecake was light and delicious. The "menú" included a bottle of wine and a (large) bottle of water. I opted to top it all off with an Irish coffee. They did it right and did not skimp on the ingredients.
All of that good eating cost us €20 each; my Irish coffee added another €5 to the bill. Outstanding!
