This is where most people head for when the queue for
Les Quinze Nits is too long, although in honesty
the queues can be just as long here.
Same great value food and lovely setting as Les
Quinze Nits, albeit without outside space - see
LQN review below for more details. |
Les Quinze Nits
Plaça Reial, 6
Open: Every day: 1pm - 3.45pm and 8.30pm - 11.30pm
Tel: 93-317 30 75
Price guide: €
A Barcelona institution, Les Quinz Nits is the
jewel in the crown of a huge group of restaurants
across Barcelona that offer decent food, in fab
settings for unbelievably low prices.
Watch out - the fantastic location in Placa Reial
makes this one very popular and, like the others
in the chain, you can't book. So if you
go at a popular time (especially weekend nights)
the queue can be horrific. If you can stave off
the hunger until after 2.30pm, we'd recommend going
there for a late lunch, when you can usually get
a nice table in the sun pretty quickly.
If you can't stand the queue, try one of the others
in the same chain - La Rita, La Fonda (just around
the corner), Market et al - cards are all available
in the foyer.
Try the Black Rice (Arroz Negro) made with squid
ink and a some of the house red - not a vintage,
but for Eu 4.50 a litre a very drinkable bargain!
Some outside tables on Plaza Reial are now open
between lunch and dinner in the summer, serving
a reduced menu and drinks.
