Ca l'Estevet

This is a must visit for anyone looking for traditional catalan dishes. Upon entering the restaurant, feels like being transported to a different era. The servers are all very friendly and know their food very well. Prices are very reasonable, food genuine and very good service.

Recommended by local friends, good for traditional catalan cuisineRecommended: duck confit (soft and juicy), shrimp (super fresh and umami)Snails: earthy and taste really special, not too recommended if you are not a fans of snail

We made a reservation here for our last night in Barcelona. We were looking for a traditional Catalonian meal to end our trip. The atmosphere was wonderful and the wait staff were all delightful. They were incredibly professional, attentive, and very willing to explain the menu! I love that the menu specifically marks traditional Catalonian dishes too.The food was executed well, and the kitchen timed everything perfectly. Everything came out piping hot. We ordered the soup of the day, which seemed to be something pork based with some vegetables and meats. This was a warm hug in a bowl. Absolutely our favorite dish of the meal. Incredibly homey. The escargot flavor was wonderful, but the texture wasn't what we're both familiar with based on previous escargot experiences. For our main dishes, we ordered the duck and monkfish (with garlic and chili). The duck was very tender, perfectly cooked, however the sauce leaned a little sweet for our liking. The monkfish, again, was perfectly cooked, but was just a bit plain for our liking. We finished the meal with a Catalan cream. We don't know what "good" Catalan cream is, but this was delicious!!

We headed to this spot for a company dinner, and it lived up to our expectations. We were hoping for a typical Barcelona/Catalan vibe, and we got just that. The food was great, with the cod in coffee sauce being a good choice, albeit a bit unusual. Surprisingly, I even tried some calamari, despite not usually being a fan, because it had a unique twist to it. The cod balls were also a hit.The place was cozy, on the smaller side, and a bit tucked away, adding to its charm. The service was attentive and had a solid grasp of English, which made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a great find for a tasty meal with a touch of Barcelona flair.

We tried to walk in to this restaurant one night but it was fully booked. And we made a reservation and came back a couple days later and it was so worth it! We had quite some very delicious and special Catalonian dishes. Our waiter was super friendly he recommended us the special pastry with the sweet wine along with a bit history of it. Love this place will definitely come back next time in Barcelona!
