Via Veneto
Classic Italian Fine Dining · Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Barcelona · €€€€
Awards: ★ Michelin · 2 Soles Repsol
Open since 1967
Opened in 1967 and earned Barcelona's first Michelin star in 1974 — a Belle Époque room where Salvador Dalí kept a regular table. Three Repsol Soles, the kind of formality most Barcelona restaurants abandoned decades ago, and the Monje family running the place ever since.
The Delekta Review
First Michelin star awarded in Barcelona — 1974, seven years after the restaurant opened
Founded 1967 — the Monje family at the helm throughout, no ownership turnover Director Pere Monje — inherited the role from his father Josep Monje Salvador Dalí was a regular — always at the same table, once asked for longanizas to be hung as necklaces
Classical haute cuisine — French-inflected, technique-forward; tableside service is part of the show Average per-person spend around €140; deep cellar
Carpaccio of ceps with pine nuts and Parmesan. Dim sum of Palamós prawns with dashi and sea cucumber. Baby cuttlefish with a quenelle of tomato-and-onion sofregit. Roast duck with tableside pressing and carving — served with duck-trimming tacos, coffee, cocoa, and apple crunch; the house signature, essentially unchanged since 1967.
Belle Époque dining room — crystal chandeliers, silver service, white-gloved waiters Seven private salons; Carrer de Ganduxer in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi
