La Cuineta

Description:

• This restaurant near the Catalan government offices is a culinary highlight of the Barri Gòtic. Decorated in typical regional style, it favors local cuisine. The fixed-price menu is a good value, or you can order a la carte. The most expensive appetizer is bellota (acorn-fed ham), but I suggest a market-fresh Catalan dish, such as favas (broad beans) stewed with botifarra, a tasty, spicy local sausage.
