Where the desk goes for lunch

Guests ask us every day where to eat. We’ll always give you names at the desk; here is how we choose.

The menú del dia

At lunch on weekdays, most small restaurants offer a set menu: a starter, a main, a dessert and a drink. Look for it written on a board by the door.

The market bars

The bars inside Santa Caterina cook what the stalls sell that morning. Sit at the counter.

The hour

Barcelona has lunch at two and dinner at nine. Come earlier and you’ll eat alone; come later and you’ll eat like a local.
