A chatty atmosphere greets you from the bar from the moment you swing
open the door. A few tiny tables line the window, but head upstairs for more space in the
gallery, which hovers above the array of tapas on the bar below, or go deeper inside past
the bench with the ham legs. The
arròs caldós amb llagostins
(a hearty rice dish with king
prawns) is delicious.

Enthusiastic young chefs turn out beautifully presented
dishes in this basement eatery, the brown and cream decor of which might not enchant all
comers. You can eat three fish or meat courses for around €20 to €25 at lunch.
Indulge perhaps in
raviolis de pollo amb bacon i calabassó
(chicken ravioli bathed in a
sauce of finely chopped bacon, zucchini and other vegetables) followed by melt-in-the-
mouth
lluç amb pa amb tomàquet, carxofes i maionesa de peres
(a thick cut of hake on a
tomato-drenched clump of bread dressed with artichoke slices and a pear mayonnaise).

This formal restaurant is popular for its hearty Catalan cooking using fresh pro-
duce, mainly sourced from the busy market next door. On Thursdays during winter it of-
fers the Catalan mountain classic,
escudella
. Otherwise, you might try light variations on
local cuisine, such as the
bacallà al allioli de poma
(cod in an apple-based aioli sauce).
The four-course
menú del día
is exceptional lunchtime value at €12.
