Can Vilaró

★ 4.4 (1,604)$$ · Mid-range

Can Vilaró serves traditional Catalan cuisine with a straightforwardness reviewers say makes each dish feel deeply authentic rather than adapted for visitors. At 4.4 stars from 1,604 reviews and a very high hidden-gem score of 64, it's the kind of find travellers stumble onto rather than plan around, with several reviewers noting nothing else on their trip quite matched it. Its very high local score of 80 reinforces that authentic, neighbourhood character. Service can run a little slower than more tourist-oriented restaurants, a trade-off reviewers seem happy to accept.

✨ Reasons to go
