This is one of the oldest restaurants in Barcelona. Offers the best Catalan dishes around, at a good price. It's especially famous for its Paella Parellada rich man's paella, so called because they take the shells off, which is really worth a try. The roast kid goat is also a great traditional Catalan dish.
