Three
generations have kept this spick and span old-time classic in business since 1929.
Beneath the olive-green beams in the back dining room, you can see the spot
where an anarchist's bomb went off in 1946, killing the then owner. Expect fresh
fish and seafood. The
llenguado
(sole) is oven-cooked in whisky and raisins.

It's getting a foot in the door here
that's the problem. If you want one of the five tables out the back, you'll need to call
ahead. Most people are happy elbowing their way to the bar for some of the tastiest
gourmet seafood tapas in town.

In this treasure chest of Catalan regional
products, the shop shelves groan under the weight of bottles and packets of good-
ies. It also has a long menu of smallish dishes, such as
sopa de carbassa i
castanyes
(pumpkin and chestnut soup) or
mandonguilles amb albergìnies
(rissoles
with aubergine), that you can mix and match over wine by the glass.
