And what if, in addition to savoring traditional Catalan dishes, you do so in historical restaurants in Barcelona? Today, we bring you some suggestions to explore the culture from a gastronomic perspective, in places that have centuries of history.
Los Caracoles
Robert De Niro, Lenny Kravitz, and Giorgio Armani are just a few of the celebrities who have visited this restaurant. “Los Caracoles”, located on Carrer Escudellers in the Gothic neighborhood, is one of Barcelona’s historical restaurants.
Els Quatre Gats
We already highlighted this iconic place in the article Historical cafes in Barcelona. Besides being an iconic café that welcomes you as you enter, if you continue further, you’ll discover a spacious dining room where you can have lunch during the day or dinner at night. The magic of this place lies in imagining that years ago, personalities like Pablo Picasso were in that very spot. A cultural forum where they engaged in conversations about art and literature.
Can Culleretes
This restaurant also deserved to be on this list of historical restaurants in Barcelona, especially because it is the oldest one in Barcelona! This family business was founded centuries ago, in 1786. And they have managed to preserve both the historical dining rooms as well as the traditional Catalan dishes, such as canelons or escudella i carn d’olla, the traditional Catalan broth.
