This is a very traditional and entirely unpretentious local Catalan restaurant, with a small…read moreoutside eating area. The interior decor looks unchanged since the 1950s - down to the wine-coloured table cloths. The menu is extensive, and is based around the rich stews, meat and seafood of Catalan cuisine. There are a few vegetarian options (eg salads, sautéed wild mushrooms in garlic) but the choice is rather limited. Their speciality is snails, but there is a wide selection of shellfish, including razor clams, squid and octopus. Similarly, carnivores are well catered for, right down to tripe for the more adventurous. (I said it was traditional...) Portions are generous, and there's a menu del dia of two or three courses. A feature is that every table has fresh garlic cloves and tomatoes, and they bring huge great slabs of toasted bread to the table, so you can make your own pa amb tomàquet. I did all right, but to me the point of a restaurant is that they do the work for you, and it is a bit messy. The clientele are locals of all types and ages, though it does skew towards the older generation. Service is reasonably efficient and friendly. The main downside is parking - it's available only on the street and can be a challenge.

My husband and I are in Barcelona for our honeymoon and today was our first day. We had traveled…read morefrom California and flew overnight. We arrived at 8:30am, walked around the beaches of Nassau and after a 4 hour nap we awoke hungry and a bit fuzzy. We were still too beat to go into Barcelona and fight the crowds. We just wanted something close and easy. However, when you do not speak the language things become slightly more complicated. We had a difficult time finding a restaurant that was A: open B: served somethings our jet lagged stomachs could handle and C: we could find on our gps. We found a tiny Pizzeria in the next town over. So simple, with only 3 spots at the counter, mostly delivery and take out. The owner, his girlfriend and friend were there and graciously made us their house speciality and seasonal pizza. And then a dessert pizza because it was our honeymoon. We proceeded to have a 2 hour conversation in broken english and broken spanish, sometimes using hand signs and google translate to get a point across. These people were true Catalonian; kind, genuine, happy, gracious and patient. This was the experience we were looking to find. Culture, local people, good people. The food was amazing as well. The owner, Oriel, gave us a list of "non-touristy" places in both Barcelona and Costa Brava for us and then he and his girlfriend, Anna, invited us to their home so they could teach us how to make "Catalan Pallella". We are so overwhelmed by the kindness and sheer willingness to not only help us order a pizza, but sit with us and discuss music, politics, travel and food for over 2 hours. It was amazing to communicate in both our native tongues and attempt to communicate with one another in a language neither are familiar with. Thank you Oriel, Anna and Christian. Best moments of our honeymoon so far.

Our waitress was a totally charming young lady who put up with our questions in broken Spanish and Catalan (think French, speak Spanish). We had bowl of deep fried txiperones (baby squid) that was perfect, a salad with a fried slab of goat cheese, walnuts, sunflower seeds and pepitas And fried eggplant with blue cheese and honey (the star of the night). A couple of glasses of the house white and a guy wearing a Nirvana t-shirt playing flamenco guitar made for a perfect evening.

Bar del Mig was recommended to me by my AirBnb host. Ended up coming here for dinner, and was very…read morehappy I listened to her recommendation. The inside is small and narrow, but has plenty of tables in the plaza outside. I opted for a seat at the bar. The bartender/manager(?) was VERY friendly and patient with my lack of Spanish. Eventually I was able to communicate to him to just order whatever 4 tapas he thought were the best and any beer that wasn't an IPA. Ended up with the patatas allioli dall negre, croquettes iberic, pop a la gallega, and fruita patata brie. All of the dishes I enjoyed, but my favorites were the Patatas bravas and pop a la gallega. Patatas were cooked perfect, the allioli was rich and flavorful, a nice variation of the patatas bravas. The pop a la gallega was incredible!! In America, I usually get octopus in chirashi bowls at sushi restaurants, and they've always been chewy, rubbery filler items. Here, the octopus was very tender, the whole dish was an absolute incredible balance of flavors and textures. If I came back to Barcelona again I would definitely try and come out to Premià de Mar just to visit this restaurant again! I regret not being able to find time to come back a second time during my trip.
