Creative Catalan sharing plates & natural wines, local favorite
"The street-facing bar is colorful and lively while a pared-back dining room sits at the back, and people come mainly to drink—especially local Catalan and natural wines and vermuts—though the food is equally delicious: try the spicy steak tartare served in a brioche bun with pork jowl and smoked egg yolk or the warm leeks with hazelnut vinaigrette topped with Catalan mató cheese and sun-dried tomatoes; the chef’s tasting menu (three snacks, five dishes and dessert) is an unbeatable-value Catalan omakase at €49." - Isabelle Kliger
"“Casa de menjars,” which roughly translates to “food house,” refers to an old-school style of Catalan restaurant that served home-cooked food to the working class during breakfast and lunch. While the modern-day versions are more refined and stay open for dinner, the way these spots serve traditional recipes and use high-quality ingredients hasn’t changed. Maleducat’s short, concise menu is broken down by finger food, bread, and small dishes made for sharing. We recommend the perfectly crunchy rice, served with red Palamós prawn tartare and a collagen-packed carpaccio of pig’s trotters, and the spicy beef tendon stew with plentiful piparra peppers. Try them on their sidewalk patio if you can get a spot (reservations are recommended)." - isabelle kliger
"The creation of chef Victor Ródenas and brothers Ignasi and Marc García, this youthful take on a simple Catalan casa de menjars (house of food) combines the best parts of a traditional vermouth bar with the refined, seasonal Catalan cooking of a fine dining veteran. The lively yet casual atmosphere is the perfect place to enjoy the varied dishes: confit artichokes with spring peas, sunchoke puree, and romesco, escabeche oyster shooters with chicken jus, beef tendon stew with fried hake and pickled chile peppers, and mini paella with shrimp tartare and pig trotter carpaccio. This is a gathering place for neighborhood regulars first and foremost." - Sam Zucker

While the modern-day versions are more refined and stay open for dinner, the way they serve traditional recipes and use high-quality ingredients hasn’t changed. Maleducat opened just a few years ago and quickly became a local favorite. The short, concise menu is broken down by finger food, bread, and small dishes made for sharing.

"A small, spirited neighborhood restaurant whose irreverent name (meaning “rude”) reflects an innovative, tongue-in-cheek approach to its menu; founded by three friends, it carved out space during the pandemic by leaning into creativity and an offbeat identity that resonated with local diners looking for something different from tourist-oriented fare." - Suzy Taher
