Casa Leopoldo

Updated traditional cuisine

OFFERING: Traditional market cuisine with contemporary innovations, led by chef Albert Pineda, who —in a traditional setting— combines
Catalan and Mediterranean recipes. HIGHLIGHT: Founded in 1929, this restaurant represents the living history of Barcelona, and the favourite of
the fictional detective Pepe Carvalho. Not in vain it became a meeting point for writers and artists: the writer and gastronome Manuel Vázquez
Montalbán —the table he used to occupy is still there—, Terenci Moix, Juan Marsé, Eduardo Mendoza, Picasso, Dalí... INTERIOR: Banco de
Boquerones restaurant group has recovered this establishment for the city. Renovated with respect, it has preserved its essence. With original
elements —such as the tiles and the furniture— restored, it offers a nostalgic but fresh experience. The walls remain decorated with bullfighting
posters and photographs from other eras that, like a journey through time, trace the road map of Casa Leopoldo. The private rooms are opened to
host celebrations, gatherings... RECOMMMENDED: The Oxtail in red wine, their rice dishes such as the Senyoret or the black rice, Meatballs
with cuttlefish, or the Monkfish and seafood suquet. PRICE: 35 Eur.
