Petit Montjuic

A local staple, Petit Montjuic is a must for locals and visitors alike.

Small but with an ample terrace, their menu consists of a variety of appetizers, a few main dishes, and their renowned couscous. I've only been once, and enjoyed orders of the olives and patatas bravas, followed by orders of the cod salad and stuffed pepper. Everything was tasty, and the bravas were unique. I washed it all down with a couple of vermouths.

I look forward to returning to try to couscous!

We found this hidden local gem after walking the Park Guell. It was chilly for us outside so they squeezed us inside. We felt like they welcomed us into their home and dined with them in their kitchen. They shared their stories and how they wanted to share a part of France's cuisine with Barcelona. The couscous was flavorful and came in a variety of flavor. My kids loved it. The clams/ mussels were delicious! The salad is one that I have never had before. The dressing is a special recipe by the chef who came out to say hello and check on us. The staff shared wine with us and taught us about local wines and wines from Spain. Skip the franchises and find this local gem.

Excellent service with solid food and a lovely terrace - great place if you're headed to the National Archeology Museum of Catalonia. The staff were absolutely great!
