Eating in Barcelona

[AliFlump]

Can anyone recommend a nice place to eat in Barcelona? We're going on Friday, we'd like somewhere where people get dressed nice to go. Not too keen on seafood tho. Thanks

Half way down the Ramblas on your left just past the street ( Carrer ) St Jaume you will find the square called Placa Reial, in this square you will find many good restaurants, also you can try going to the bottom of the Ramblas, go across the bridge to the Port Veil and again you will find plenty of fine eating.

hey I used to live in the Plaza Real (easiest way to say it) can't remember the restaurants though as it was pretty grotty but that was 30 yrs ago.

Long time since I was there but Irati was a great experience ~ instead of the restaurant at the back, eat the tapas at the bar - help yourself keep the toothpicks and they charge you at the end by number of picks....

Irati Taverna Basca
Metro: Liceu
Cardenal Casanas 17. Tel: [phone]
Just off the leafy Ramblas, Spain`s most famous street, and its heaving throngs of humanity, you`ll find Irati Taverna Basca, a bastion of authentic cooking. You`ll be greeted by a mile-long bar with belting ambience, piled with pintxas, a smorgasbord of tapas-style bits. You take a plate and munch away, charged by the number of toothpicks you`ve amassed. In the rustic dining room with its half-timbered and brick walls, there`s proper table service. Try dishes like seabass filled with ratatouille, wrapped in a crepe, then grilled and baked. The txacoli wines are poured from above the waiters` heads to aerate properly.
