Bar Muy Buenas features homemade, well-crafted, top-quality food that dispenses with the glamor and is ready for dipping. A journey through the typical dishes of the entire Catalan geography. A set menu of more than 30 Catalan wines, and a cocktail set menu with Catalan distillates make Muy Buenas a first-rate local experience.

Bar Muy Buenas

El Raval

LoginSave

Modernista classic Muy Buenas has been a bar since 1928, and wears its past proudly with stunning and sinuous original woodwork, etched-glass windows, old tiles and a marble bar. Though the cocktails are impressive, these days it's more restaurant than bar, expertly turning out traditional Catalan dishes such as esqueixada (salad of shredded salted cod) and fricandó (pork-and-vegetable stew).

There's a weekday menú del dia for €13, and the bar opens all day until 12.30pm (2am on Thursday and 3am on Friday and Saturday).
