Can Pineda
Gastronomy and character
Now that restaurants have started to reopen again this is an ideal time to rediscover the roots of Catalan cuisine and to support some of the classic restaurants that have helped shape one of the most interesting aspects of Barcelona culture, its gastronomy. Can Pineda is a family run establishment that oozes charm from every pore. As well as the choice of lunch and evening menus there is also a take away menu that includes seasonal dishes and classic options.
Visiting Can Pineda is like travelling back in time to a Barcelona that is increasingly harder to find. A restaurant where slow cooking is not a marketing slogan but the way things are done. Can Pineda has been in the same family since the 1940s and it shows (it was first opened in the early 1900s) and they know what their clientele like when it comes to cuisine and ambience. And that means local Catalan and seasonal dishes that reflect the Mediterranean and the fertile lands surrounding Barcelona served in an authentic interior. A varied menu that includes classic dishes like the Crunchy ocpotus with yucca purée, paprika oil and the Duck Cannelloni with cream of foie gras as well as the Traditional house Oxtail special. And seafood options such as the Fresh fish filet of the day a la Donostiarra.
