  • 1. El Asador d’Aranda

    Housed in the magnificent Modernista Casa Roviralta, this restaurant is a magnet for business-folk. Order the delicious lamb roasted in an oak-burning oven and dine in the beautiful garden.

  • 2. Bar-Restaurante Can Tomàs

    This tapas bar, in the Sarrià neighbourhood, is an institution. It has the well-deserved reputation of making some of the best tapas in town. Particularly recommended are the patates braves .

  • 3. A Contraluz

    Uncomplicated yet innovative Mediterranean food is presented in this enchanting restaurant and its wonderful garden. The risottos are excellent, as is the hot foie gras with apple.

  • 4. Neichel

    Top-class in every way, Neichel lures a moneyed clientele with nouvelle cuisine and a luscious interior. Reserve in advance.

    This tavern-like local eatery serves traditional Catalan food. Its calçots (chargrilled, gigantic spring onions served with spicy romesco sauce) are legendary.

  • 6. Can Punyetes

    The ordinary becomes the exquisite at this typical Catalan restaurant. From the farmhouse bread dripping with olive oil, to the mel i mató (goat’s cheese with honey), it’s all delightful.

  • 7. Flash Flash

    Truites (omlettes) rule here, from the classic (Spanish) to the inventive (garlic and asparagus). The owners claim to have used five million eggs in just over 30 years.

  • 8. La Balsa

    In the quiet Bonanova district, La Balsa is a beautiful spot, with two garden terraces. Fine Basque, Catalan and Mediterranean dishes are on the menu.

  • 9. La Venta

    Take the city’s only tram to the top of Av Tibidabo for traditional Catalan food washed down with bold Riojas at this terrace restaurant.

  • 10. Botafumeiro

    The fish tanks at this seafood restaurant are teeming with crabs and lobster destined for plates. Try the tender pulpo Gallego (Galician octopus). Reservations are essential.
