An extensive à la carte menu and chalked up daily specials are available both lunchtime and evening, and you can order half-sized portions.

 Service:

Given how busy the place gets the service is very good. If not too busy the servers will enjoin in a bit of banter, but often the jokes fall flat … as with the offensive reference to ‘Obama’ croquettes.

Ambience:

Modern, fresh, clean, well-lit interior with tall, cushioned stools and manageable noise levels.

Value:

Expect to pay north of 25€ per person, plus drink, for 4 or 5 plates.

Location:

Corner of Carrer Muntaner and Carrer Còrsega. A five-minute stroll from Hospital Clìnic or a seven-minute stroll from Provença/Diagonal metro station or a ten-minute stroll from Cinco d’Oro (junction of Passeig de Gràcia/Av. Diagonal)
