Can Ramonet – No review of Barcelona dining would be complete without a stop at the famous, historic Can Ramonet. Located in the very heart of Barcelona’s harborside district, it has been in continuous use as a restaurant and tavern for over 240 years. It has withstood world wars, Napoleonic, British, and Spanish empires, Fascists, Monarchs, and European Unions – all this while serving what may be the most authentic paella on the continent. Tourists are not always certain of its ingredients however the freshness of the seafood is never an issue. Guests dine at large wooden barrels while seated on stools. There is something of a cheesy “Pirate’s Cove” feeling to the décor which is not helped by the fact that virtually nothing remains of the tavern’s historic origins. Prices are historic as well; a single entrée can run as much as 20 to 25 Euros, testifying to the cost of Can Ramonet’s lofty upkeep in this expensive part of town. Not a bad place to enjoy the Mediterranean’s breezes and classic seafood, but genuine history can be found elsewhere and at lower prices.
Agut – maintains its classic, scholarly, and professional atmosphere as it has since the 1920s. That is both good and bad in that while having a secure menu history from which to draw, Agut sometimes fails to work hard for the customer’s satisfaction. This is not so much a restaurant as an institution, a favorite choice for politicians, lawyers, business titans, and academics. Prices can therefore reflect the deep pockets of the diners and service can appear cold and indifferent to those making a one-time visit.
Los Caracoles – is one victim of the new popularity, but if you are able to avoid the crowds you will be rewarded with one of the best selections of traditional entrees anywhere in the city. Los Caracoles, which means “Snails,” is instantly recognizable by the racks of whole chickens roasting slowly on rotating spits in the main entrance’s window. Diners walk through the bustling kitchen on the way to their table in the back, allowing for some delightful peeks of that evening’s specials. Another section of tables is located in a balcony overlooking the downstairsdining room. A long bar at the front allows patrons to relax with a drink as they wait for an opening in the dinner service
