Pla de la Garsa

Located on the east of La Ribera, this historic building is fully renovated but still retains its 19th-century cast-iron spiral staircase leading to the dining area upstairs. The ground floor is more interesting. Here you'll encounter the owner, Ignacio Sulle, an antiques collector who has filled his establishment with an intriguing collection of objets d'art. The menu boasts one of the city's best wine lists and features a daily array of favorite traditional Catalan dishes. Begin with pâté, confit of duck, or terrine with black olives and anchovies. For a main course order a perfectly seasoned beef bourguignon or fabetes fregides amb menta i pernil (beans with meat and Serrano ham). The cheese selection is one of the finest in town, especially bountiful in Catalan goat's cheese, including Serrat Gros from the Pyrénées.
