"This is the fourth and largest Barrafina in the group owned by brothers Sam and Eddie Hart—and anyone familiar with their other restaurants will immediately recognize the signature counter with its red leather stools—here, set underneath exposed wooden beams. Start with a sherry and a few Para Picar, then pick one of the interesting vegetable dishes and something from the grill—if you're a lover of sweetbreads then those cooked in the Josper oven are a must-have. They offer their famous pan con tomate but what marks this restaurant apart from the other three in the chain is a menu inspired by the cuisine of Catalonia, a particular feature of which is dishes that blend meat and fish ("Mar Y Montaña" or "the bounty of the sea and mountains"). The staff instinctively know what works well and how much you should order so asking for advice is positively encouraged. They don’t take reservations but there’s plenty of space in which to wait for a seat. Alternatively, come with a group of friends and make use of their private room overlooking Regent’s Canal." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team
