The Delekta Review
Bar Muy Buenas earns its place in the Raval on the strength of its kitchen and the integrity of its bones — the original marble counter, the carved wood, the engraved glass partition between bar and dining room, all of it genuine and city-listed as an Iconic Establishment. Canelones de carne have won over locals and visitors alike; fricandó arrives slow-cooked; albóndigas con sepia and bacalao con chanfaina anchor a winter menu that reads like a Catalan grandmother's repertoire at its most capable. Croquetas de jamón — crisp outside, properly creamy — round out the classics. A weekly set menu at €17.90 keeps it accessible, the wine list leans on Catalan references, and Grup Confiteria's restoration philosophy here is continuity. No reinvention, no fusion pivot, and that commitment holds.
