 Tataky de lomo de buey con enoquis (Tataki of beef tenderloin with enoki mushrooms), as served as part of the menú degustación at Goliard.

Goliard in Vila de Gràcia is currently one of my favourite restaurants for both lunch and dinner

Here are 10 good reasons why:

Price for lunch:

• For the menú del día, which includes bread and wine,  you’ll pay 17.80€.
  

  Confit d’ànec amb patates forneres (Duck leg with oven-cooked potatoes) as served for lunch at Goliard.

Price for dinner:

• For an evening menú menu, wine extra, you’ll pay 27.90€.
  

  Mandonguilles amb sìpia (Meatballs with cuttlefish) as served for lunch by Goliard.

Choice:

• The fixed price lunch menu offers a choice of 5 first courses, 5 second courses and 5 desserts.
• The evening tasting menu offers a balanced selection of 7 savoury dishes (fish, fowl, meat, cheese and veggies) and a dessert.
• The extensive à la carte menu is available both lunchtime and evening, and you can order ½ sized portions.

Berenjena marinada, burrata y anchoa con salsa de albahaca (Marinaded aubergine/eggplant with creamed mozzarella and anchovy with basil sauce) as served as part of the tasting menu at Goliard.

Quality:

• Ingredients, preparation and presentation are all reliably excellent.
  

  Patates escalivades i arengada fumada amb oli (Braised potatoes and smoked herring with oil) as served as a first course as part of the menú del día at Goliard.

Taste:

• The food offering here is an inventive, flavour filled, balance of re-imagined classic Catalan and Spanish dishes combined with a hint of Japanese finesse and slightly off-piste choices such as kangaroo. Delicious.
  

  Pulpo, unas pocas judias blancas, pimentón i aceite de oliva virgen (Octopus, haricot beans, pimentón and virgin olive oil) as served at Goliard.

Service:

• Friendly, polite, timely and efficient. English spoken. The servers will gladly deal with any queries or special needs you may have, and indulge in friendly banter if invited. The servers’ timing seems impeccable; attentive without being intrusive.

Ambience:

• Classy, tasteful, thoughtfully lit, with a comfortable noise level and cosy.
  

  Sopa de piña con helado de coco (Cold pineapple soup with coconut ice-cream) as served at Goliard.

Value:

• Do the math — lunch = 5,93€ per item and including wine and including tax!

Location:

• In Vila de Gràcia. A ten-minute stroll from Cinco d’Oro (junction of Passeig de Gràcia/Diagonal), or a five-minute stroll from Plaça de la Vila (Town Hall square) at the heart of Gràcia.

It’s open on Mondays
