Named for the mató (cottage cheese) traditionally prepared by the Clarist nuns across the street in the Monestir de Pedralbes, this is a fine stop after touring the monastery, which closes at 2. The restaurant has one of the most typically Catalan, best-value menus in town. Look for sopa de ceba gratinée (onion soup), trinxat (chopped cabbage with bacon bits), and truite de patata i ceba (potato-and-onion omelet).
