Fodor's Expert Review El Mató de Pedralbes
$$
Sarria, Pedralbes, and Sant Gervasi
Catalan
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Named for the mató (cottage cheese) traditionally prepared by the Clarist nuns across the street in the Monestir de Pedralbes, this is a great choice for lunch after exploring the monastery. It also has one of the most authentically Catalan menus around at a fairly reasonable price, given its posh Pedralbes environs. Look for sopa de ceba gratinée (onion soup), trinxat (chopped cabbage and potato with fried pork pieces), or truite de patata i ceba (potato and onion omelet).
