Ca l'Isidre

$$$-$$$$, Catalan, Raval

User Rating: * 1.4

Fodor's Review:

A favorite with Barcelona's art mob, this place is shellacked with pictures and engravings, some original, by Dalí and other art stars. Just inside the Raval from Avinguda del Paral.lel, the restaurant relies on fresh produce from the nearby Boqueria for its traditional Catalan cooking. Isidre's wines are invariably novelties from all over the Iberian Peninsula; ask for his advice and you will get a great wine as well as an enology, geography, and history course delivered with charm, brevity, and wit. The slight French accent in cuisine is evident in superb homemade foie gras. Come and go by cab at night; the area can be shady.

Totally outdated, unacceptable price

Posted by ianchild from England on 12/8/06

When of those restaurants which was for sure good years ago but now just looks totally outdated. Owners are not nice at all (despite pretending), they haven't invested a penny for years and prices are ... out of the moon. You can eat in any Michelin star restaurant in Barcelona for half the price of this place. Would absolutely not recommending there. Hope this is helpful to someone, Ian
