Botafumeiro 
$$$$, Spanish, Gràcia
Fodor's Review:
On Gràcia's main thoroughfare, Barcelona's finest Galician restaurant has maritime motifs, snowy tablecloths, wood paneling, and fleets of waiters in spotless white outfits moving at the speed of light. The bank-breaking Mariscada Botafumeiro is a seafood medley from shellfish to fin-fish to cuttlefish to caviar. An assortment of media ración (half-ration) selections is available at the bar, where pulpo a feira (squid on slices of potato), jamón bellota (acorn-fed ham), and pan con tomate (toasted bread with olive oil and tomato) make peerless late-night snacks. People-watching is tops, and the waiters behind the counter appear to be off-duty comic actors.

Very nice, very grand, very expensive. Food fabulous - I would go again but still 180 euros for 2!
