L'Olivé Review

Named after the owner, Josep Olivé, this restaurant is designed in modern Catalan style and the walls are adorned with reproductions of Miró, Dalí, and Picasso paintings. The overall feeling is one of elegance with a touch of intimacy; there are some discreet little corners in which to hide. You won't be disappointed by anything on the menu, especially bacallà a la llauna (baked salt cod) or filet de vedella al vi negre al forn (veal filets in a red-wine sauce). Monkfish flavored with roasted garlic is a palate pleaser, and you could finish with a crema catalana (creme caramel) or a delicious Catalan pastry.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
