Cafè de l'Acadèmia
I've eaten the menú del día here for fifteen years. The esqueixada, the duck confit, the seasonal mushrooms — this is Catalan cooking that hasn't compromised.
Traditional Catalan restaurant on a Gothic Quarter lane. One of the few genuinely old places in the old city that hasn't been hollowed out for tourists.
