Acontraluz
Mediterranean & Grill · Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Barcelona · €€€
Beautiful garden restaurant in upper Barcelona. Mediterranean grill, seasonal dishes, magical terrace under the trees. Popular for weekend lunches.
The Delekta Review
Acontraluz hides behind an unassuming facade on Carrer de Milanesat in Sarrià, up in the quiet streets that most visitors never see. The draw is the garden — mature trees, dappled light, the improbable sensation of having left Barcelona entirely. The kitchen works seasonal Mediterranean around a grill: quality meats and vegetables over fire, fresh fish, simple treatments that let the product speak. Prices sit in the €€€ range. The honest read is that you're paying for the garden as much as for the plate, and the food is consistently good rather than extraordinary. But the garden is extraordinary — the kind of space where the quality of the light and the sound of the leaves make ordinary food taste better. Sunday lunch on the terrace is the right occasion.
