Reasons to go

Signature dishes include octopus á feira and rice with velvet crab, drawing on the owning family's Galician seafaring roots.
Open since 1992, making it a long-running neighbourhood fixture rather than a recent tourist-driven opening.

Reviews

One of the best meals in Barcelona ! The menu highlighted some of best Galician cuisine - our waiter was so kind and efficient, despite being very busy with a full restaurant. Located centrally but slightly off the beaten track, felt very local. Definitely add to your list while in town!!
