La Luna, Montiel, or Can Ravell for dinner
I will be in Barcelona this June. There will be 10 of us, 5 adults and 5 children.(ages 10 to 15) I have dinner at Can Mano the first night and can't decided between Montiel, La Luna or Can ravell for the second. Any thoughts/
|
Just curious why you chose those places? Are you looking for places with set menus for 10?
|
I've chosen these places from rec. on this site. I'm open to other places.
|
Most of the places I liked on my most recent trip last time would not be conducive for groups of 10, so I'm not sure I could help much...what kind of budget are you looking at? Any food constraints or do they eat anything?
|
No constraints and they are pretty adventurous. What about Tapac 24, Cerveseria Catalana, Gelonch. One night it will just be the 6 of us. Budget not a real issue.
|
I thought that the food at Tapac24 was very good. But they do not take reservations as far as I know, and can get crowded at peak hours. Seating is at the counter or at tiny tables and service is competent and quick. I would recommend highly for a quick meal; the remain open all day, as I recall, even for breakfast. Very casual kind of place. Central location, near Placa Catalunya. I wrote about it in my Barcelona Dining Report from 2011.
If you want to move up on the price scale, you could take a look at Cal Pep's sit down dining room (seafood is the forte here) or book a table at Hisop or Cinc Sentits, where I had two great dinners last winter. The latter is a very hard table to get, though. You can reserve at the bar, or at a table, at PacomerAlgo, and they also have very good food. I've not been to Gelonch and C Catalana. One place I've been meaning to try is Taberna del Clinic; you could check it out. The chef worked at Can Fabes. http://www.latavernadelclinic.com/2/tabernaA.html |
I'm pretty sure that the ten of you up in the small dining room at Cal Pep, as ekscrunchy suggests, would be something to remember. A special place, people que up in line long before opening to get a seat at the tapas bar downstairs. Expensive. http://calpep.com/ingles/ingles.html

Thanks for the help. I was able to secure reservations at Cal Pep. My mouth is watering!!
|
Had a fabulous night at Cal Pep (downstairs in the tapas-bar) a few years ago, and it was recently panegyrically recommended in print and pictures by the most famous chef of my home-town Oslo during the past decade, Eivind Hellstrøm of former 2 Michelin star Bagatelle. Enjoy!

If you like clams, you should try the tallerines at Cal Pep; some of the best clams I've ever tasted!
