Can Culleretes

It opened in 1786 as a pastry shop on Carrer Quintana, in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, and is Barcelona's oldest restaurant. Its dining rooms, with tiles, wooden beams and walls covered in signed photos of famous guests, keep the feel of an eating house from another century.

The menu is traditional Catalan cooking: cannelloni, butifarra sausage with white beans, game in season, fish stews and, for dessert, crema catalana.
