Now just around the corner from its original location, this brilliant old neighbourhood restaurant, its walls dotted with radio sets, is known for its unpretentious, good-value cooking. The popular menú del dia (€12) changes daily, but you might also try ragú de jabalí (wild-boar stew), mel i mató (Catalan dessert of cheese and honey) or tempting classic-Catalan tapas like fuet (thin pork sausage).
