Casa Leopoldo, a family-run restaurant that’s been keeping diners happy for 75 years, is known for its back-to-basics Catalan cooking. Its version of the local staple pa amb tomaquet (bread with tomato) is hands-down the best in the city, and the fresh fish dishes can rival those of any seafood restaurant. The soups and stews are extra special too—ask for the day's specials to ensure that you get the best on offer.

El CafÈ de l'AcadËmia, with its dark interior, old stone walls and cosy booths, is an ideal place for sitting back and enjoying a good local wine along with hearty Catalan dishes like roasted meats, tasty stews, risottos and rice dishes. In summer you can eat on the outdoor terrace, which sits in a quiet medieval square. For something really special, ask to be seated in the downstairs wine cellar.

This sprawling restaurant, owned by the Bofarull family since 1835, is a Barcelona classic that’s seen everyone from the Spanish royal family (a signed photo of Prince Felipe hangs on the walls) to local business types, families and tourists. You could get lost in the maze of over-decorated dining rooms and cellars, where walls are adorned with photos of the famous people who’ve dined here, giving a 1960s, kitschy charm to the place. The food itself showcases the best and most traditional regional cuisine, such as delicious roasted chicken, garlicky caracoles (snails) and flaky fish dishes.
