Salad with figs, feta cheese and a mint vinaigrette
La Singular is one of my very favourite restaurants for lunch.
Here are several sound reasons why:
Price for lunch:
For the menú diari [menú del día], which includes bread and wine, or beer, or water, you’ll pay 10€.
Ajoblanco de prèssec de vinya, pernil i menta — Cold garlic and almond soup made with peaches, with ham and mint as served at La Singular.
Choice:
- The fixed-price lunch menu offers a choice of 4 first courses, 3 or 4 second courses and 3 or 4 desserts.
- An extensive à la carte menu is available in the evening,
Pollo i espagueti amb salsa i menta — Chicken and spaghetti, sauce and mint as served at La Singular
Quality:
Ingredients, preparation and presentation are all reliably excellent. I have never had a duff plate here.
Taste:
The food offered here is playfully inventive, joyfully combining meat, fish and cheese with fresh seasonal fruits, berries, herbs, dried fruits, nuts and veggies to produce wonderfully balanced, flavoursome dishes. Delicious.
Pastís de carne i moixernons, pure i la seva salsa — Meatloaf with mushrooms, mashed potato and house sauce as served at La Singular.
Service:
Polite and businesslike. Timing very good; attentive without being intrusive. English can be spoken.
It is not possible to reserve a table for lunch.
Ambience:
Thoughtfully lit, tastefully decorated, intimate, cosy space with a very comfortable noise level.
As you walk into the dining-room you’ll pass the small kitchen area and see dishes being prepared.
Pollastre farcit amb prunes, orellanes i taronja amb cous cous de fruites — Chicken stuffed with prunes, apricot and orange with cous cous and diced fruit as served at La Singular.
Value:
Excellent. Probably the best value lunch in the city.
Location:
At the heart of Gràcia, just around the corner from the Ajuntament (Town Hall), a minute stroll from Plaça de la Vila (Town Hall square).
Open on Mondays
