El Salon
Americans will be relieved to find a place they can dine at an hour they’re used to in this atmospheric restaurant on a small Gothic Quarter street. The high-ceilinged stone room creates just the right environment for an early romantic dinner with service that’s friendly but unobtrusive. Dishes are beautifully presented, many of them twists on traditional Catalan themes like esqueixada (salt cod salad) or grilled squid on a bed of white beans with ink aioli. There’s plenty of meat (including a home-made hamburger) on the menu too, and far more greens than in most restaurants in Spain.
