Can Vallès
Traditional Catalan Home Cooking · Eixample, Barcelona · €€
Traditional Catalan home cooking since 1952. Canelons, escudella, and fricandó done the old-fashioned way. A lunch-menu institution. Where grandmothers eat.
The Delekta Review
Can Vallès has been feeding the Eixample traditional Catalan home cooking since 1952 — canelons, escudella, fricandó, mandonguilles amb sípia, done the old way and done right. The menú del dia is the reason to come: a few euros, three courses, generous portions, and cooking that tastes like a grandmother who's been doing this for sixty years. The dining room on Carrer d'Aragó is austere and honest; the effort goes into the kitchen rather than the décor. The clientele is almost entirely local — Eixample regulars, office workers on lunch break, pensioners who've been coming since the seventies. This is where Catalan grandmothers eat, which is the highest recommendation traditional Catalan cooking can receive. Prices are exceptionally fair for the quality of cooking.
