Great Catalan food in Barcelona on the cheap

Blog: Barcelona travel and culture - 18 August 2009

There are so many places to eat in Barcelona but finding a good place which serves Catalan and which serves food at a price which most people can also afford, is not always easy.

My wife and I though got lucky on the weekend and we can highly recommend the interestingly named 'Madrid, Barcelona' restaurant, located on Arago 282 Barcelona. The location is east to get to. You can walk there within 15 minutes from the top of Las Ramblas and the Paseo de Gracia subway station is within 5 minutes walk.

The thing we liked about Madrid Barcelona was:
  • Very high quality yet simple food
  • Menus in different languages
  • Great service
  • Not a pretentious restaurant but still great quality
  • Affordable. We paid approx 30 Euros each including drinks, 3 courses and wine.

I do not work for the restaurant and have no friends working there in case you are wondering. Catalan foodBoth my wife and I loved the place so much I felt I had to share news about it. I just hope that it does not get too busy as I do not want to be queuing to get in next time!
