Café de L’Acadèmia

Rustic Catalonian cuisine in a medieval setting
Word to the wise: A reservation at any time of day is an absolute must. Call at least a few days in advance.
Popular plate: Try the salt cod gratinée with artichoke mousse or the eggplant terrine with goat cheese.
A hit with devoted locals and clued-up visitors alike, this cozy, 28-table cafe is located down a small alleyway near the charming Plaça Sant Just and serves up rustic, seasonal Catalan cuisine in a 15th century Gothic building.
The à la carte menu is small but well chosen and the dessert selections is good. Sit inside the charming, warm dining room or grab a coveted candle-lit table on the summer terrace.
