Note: This restaurant has the same name as another one in Rambla de Catalunya, which could lead to confusion. Anyway, read on...

Menu del Dia - Bar/Rst Ciudad Condal, C/Banyos Nuevos 8
This is an atmospheric little restaurant in the Barri Gotic, the old part of town. Its popular and seems to attract a wide variety of customers, from passing tourist, to locals, to some that look like they've eaten lunch there every day for the last 20 years - maybe they have. I've now been twice and the food has always been good. The fideua (noodles) are a very good Primero (starter) as they come with alioli (garlic mayonaise) and a little bit of seafood and meat, paella-style. For Segundo, the Salmon planchada (grilled salmon) was also very good.

Primero - Fideua
Segundo - Salmon planchada

Menu del Dia - 10.50 + IVA
Cafe con Leche - 1.80 + IVA

Included in the Menu del Dia price is also a drink and I had vino blanco de la casa. Handily, they just leave you the whole bottle, so you can have as much as you want, whether one glass or more. So I had more.

Rating out of ten: 8
