La Balmesina, much more than pizza in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi
The ninth best pizzeria in Europe according to the prestigious 50TopPizza list offers two lunch menus. One with a drink, pizza and dessert, starting at 13.90 euros, with classics from their evening menu such as Burrata e Pesto or Salamino Ibérico. Another traditional one for the same price that changes daily, with first and second courses with pasta, meat, fish, poultry and vegetarian dishes. Everything is homemade. Google link
CentX100 Laietà, to enjoy the weekend at Les Corts
The Club Esportiu Laietà restaurant offers a variety of starters such as fideuà, cannelloni and garlic prawns; main courses include Catalan-style peasant chicken, grilled entrecote and various fish options including tuna, cod and gilthead bream. All this —and more— for 29.95 euros with bread, a drink and dessert is part of their weekend menu. Google link
Rasoterra, high-level vegan cuisine in Ciutat Vella
If you think all vegan restaurants are the same, Rasoterra will break the mold. Its formula for both lunch and dinner includes appetizer of the day + starter + main course + dessert (which can be exchanged for another starter, if you prefer). Seasonal and local vegetables, tempeh and homemade pickles and combinations of flavors and textures so you won't miss animal products at all. Drinks are not included. Google link
La Pubilla, market cuisine in Gracia
Alexis Peñalver's traditional market cuisine —with ingredients from Mercat de La Llibertat— is so successful that La Pubilla offers not one, not two, but three shifts of the menu every day (with an hour to enjoy it). For 22 euros —33 on weekends— they prepare chup chup stews, sautéed with seasonal products, their mythical ensaladilla, pasta and rice dishes. If you don't manage to book a table, you can always console yourself with one of their legendary esmorzars de forquilla. Google link
Restaurant ca l’Estevet, the most exquisite tradition in Ciutat Vella
In addition to eating à la carte, this temple of traditional Catalan cuisine offers a midday menu with some of its most emblematic dishes. For starters, their macaroni au gratin, cannelloni or capipota salad. For main courses, traditional fricandó, superb meatballs with cuttlefish and prawns and some fish options. In winter they also have a menu of escudella i carn d'olla, as if it were Christmas every day. Google link
El Casal Café, a quiet corner with a varied menu in El Born
El Born is one of the most busy areas of Barcelona, but some of its corners still maintain a tranquility uncommon in the neighborhood. Plaça de Victor Balaguer is one of them, and at El Casal Café they serve a menu that for less than 15 euros triumphs for its great value for money. European cuisine with Asian influences, vegetarian options, creams, salads, meats and fish. If you order one of the delicious oysters from their menu as an appetizer, you will succeed. Google link
Casa Axin, a hidden grill in Sants-Montjuic
Axin opened more than 13 years ago this rara avis: a place in Poble Sec with an authentic grill where he prepares both the sausages or lamb ribs of his famous esmorzars de forquilla and the second courses of the daily or weekend menu. Beef stewed with mushrooms, sardines, oxtail, potatoes with squid, cod, tripe or cap i pota: Axin was born in China, but handles the Catalan picada and stew like a local. Google link
La Sosenga, contemporary Catalan cuisine in Ciutat Vella
Marc Pérez and Tania Doblas run the kitchen and dining room respectively at La Sosenga, a restaurant that takes its name from a traditional preparation from The Book of Sent Soví. Its menu of nine courses for 32 euros (drinks not included) is made with local ingredients and changes every month. They have built customer loyalty based on delicious croquettes, homemade bread and butter, classical stews with updated techniques and a relaxed but exquisite service. Google link
