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

¡que aproveche!, ¡bon appétit!

¡Hola!

This blog is barcapat's guide to the restaurants of Barcelona, if I've eaten there it will appear on here...

I've been living in Barcelona since February 2007, so have been to quite a few restaurants here and want to list them all, for other peoples interest and also so I don't have to remember them all! Each posting should be a quick bit of info on the restaurant, a mini-review and a rating out of 10.

There'll also be the odd food/spain/barcelona related posting.
