Restaurant Embat

A stalwart of Barcelona’s reasonably priced “bistronomic” restaurants, Embat has just 10 tables in this minimalist blonde-wood space a short walk from La Pedrera. It bustles at lunchtime, with a great-value three-course menu based on seasonal produce.  Expect menu offerings like confit artichoke with bacon and steak tartare with wafer-thin toast. Evenings offer both a set menu for two and à la carte small plates to share, like a red prawn carpaccio with wasabi and dill oil or an entrecote of Galician beef. The emphasis is on simplicity and quality.
