Budget
Breton
Located just across the street down an "alley" from the fontana metro station. an assortment of pictures out front of the restaurant give diners an idea of the plates as well as a tacky feel, but inside the restaurant is clean and simple. good service and decent food make this a place to possibly frequent because you know what to expect. a menu del dia and a great menu to select from. "normal" to moderate prices. menu del dia ~â¬10, bocadillos ~â¬4, salads/"entrees" ~â¬3.
Restaurant Petra
Carrer d'asturies. authentic lebanese cuisine in the heart of gracia. this great pedestrian street has several restaurants and many shops, but petra offers traditional mediterranean dishes. shwarma, falafel, hummus, traditional pita and much more. takeout available. combination plates ~â¬10.
Midrange
Can Xurrades
Probably one the best Catalan restaurants in the neighborhood, although their selection of other Spanish food is quite good. Particularly excels at meat dishes, cooked in traditional Catalan style. Dishes of note include the Ous Estrellats Andalusian scrambled eggs with potato as well as desserts such as strawberries with salt and pepper. Great wine selection with various Catalan varieties.
La Porteria
La forja, 11. this quiet street holds a few bars and restaurants to choose from. la porteria is nothing fancy, but seems to keep a steady local crowd. they have a menu del noche like the menu del dia, which provides a good value and what i assume was the proprietor served his own wine from the "ribera" del duero region of spain. the selection of 3 olive oils with bread before the meal was a pleasant bonus. menu del noche - ~â¬22.
