RESTAURANTS
Barcelona has restaurants to suit every taste
and pocket. Most are located in Old Barcelona and El Ensanche.
The most expensive can be found in El Ensanche and the residential
area, whilst those frequented by young people are located in
Gracia and La Ribera. Restaurants specialising in fish are found
in La Barceloneta. The most typical are the "tabernas Catalanas"
(Catalan inns) which offer traditional home cooking. Modern
restaurants have been set up by young university students specialising
in the "nouvelle cuisine". The inns offer quantity
and home cooking whereas the modern restaurants offer selection,
imagination and extravagance. Between these two extremes there
is also a very wide selection. There are two important and long
established restaurants. One is "Can cullaretes" in
Quintana street and the other is "Les Set Portes"
in the Plaça del Palau. Foreign restaurants include Arab,
Argentinian, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Chinese, etc.
The main Catalan dishes include "escudella i carn d´olla"•
(vegetable, stew, rice, noodles and potatoes served as a soup),
followed by "el cocido" (stew) with haricot beans,
"botifarra" (Catalan sausage), "pilota"
(minced beef), bread, eggs and selected spices. Valencian "paella"
comes under the name of "arros a la cassola". "La
Zarzuela" is a dish consisting of monk fish, grouper, prawns
or king prawns, squid and mussels. If lobsters used instead
of king prawns it is known as "opera", "Suqet
de peix" is another dish containing a variety of fish.
Other typical dishes include "bacalla a la Llauna"
(cod cooked and seasoned in a metal boiling-pan), "faves
a la catalana" (large haricot beans), and "botifarra
amb mongetes" (Catalan sausage with beans). There is also
a wide variety of confectionery. For example "crema catalan",
"mel i mato" (cottage cheese with honey, "torrons"
(a kind of nougat), "postre de music" (pine kernels
and raisins), etc. Important wines include those from Peralada,
Alella, Taragona, Priorat (red wine), El Penedes (red and white)
and the sparkling wines from El Penedés and Peralada.
As far as accommodation is concerned, there are hotels, hostels,
and boarding houses. The former are naturally more expensive
than the latter. Boarding houses abound in Old Barcelona whereas
in La Rambla, near to the Cathedral and El Ensanche, there are
fine hotels. This is also the case of the upper and residential
areas of the city. Barcelona is more than prepared to cater
for the millions of visitors it welcomes each year.
