Grill Room/Bar Thonet

A Modernista frontage gives way to beautifully restyled interiors with green-leather stools, beamed ceilings and a marble bar at this updated-Catalan-cooking find, originally opened in 1902 as one of Barcelona's first vermouth bars. It's a friendly, relaxed, central spot for well-prepared dishes like truita butifarra (potato-and-sausage omelette), escalivada (smoky grilled vegetables) and meaty canelons, with a €15 set lunch.
