Bcn RestaurantesLocated in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, Agut is a classic in the city. Founded in 1924 by Agustí Agut and his wife, the restaurant has survived the passing of time and, in spite of its remodelling in 2001, the soul of the typical Catalan tavern it used to be still remains.
The restaurant, that boasts a classic decor and an impressive collection of paintings on its walls that give it a strong personality, welcomes us in a traditional and very cosy atmosphere, perfect for family or business meetings. Since its foundation, more than eight decades ago, Agut offers traditional Catalan cuisine cooked with the best market produce. Agut -that takes us back to the past for a while- is definitely a must in the city centre.
Property of the Agut family since 1924, this restaurant is a Barcelona institution. In large vaulted cellars, travel on time to enjoy a typical market cuisine. We love the fideua, the Bouillabaisse, cod with aioli, seafood and seasonal dishes like the "soufflé of monkfish with shrimp"…
Note an excellent noon menu at only 12€.
Wainscoting and 1950s canvases are the background for the mostly Catalan crowd in this homey restaurant in the lower reaches of the Gothic Quarter. Agut was founded in 1924, and its popularity has never waned—after all, hearty Catalan fare at a fantastic value is always in demand. In season (September-May), try the pato silvestre agridulce (sweet-and-sour wild duck). There's a good selection of wine, but no frills such as coffee or liqueur.
In an historic building three blocks from the harborfront, Agut epitomizes the bohemian atmosphere surrounding this gritty area. For three-quarters of a century this has been a family-run business, with María Agut García now at the helm. The aura evokes the 1950s, and the inventive dishes are served at reasonable prices. Begin with mil hojas de botifarra amb zets (layers of pastry filled with Catalan sausage and mushrooms) or the terrine de albergines amb fortmage de cabra (terrine of eggplant/aubergine with goat's cheese gratinée). One of my favorite dishes is soufle de rape amb gambes (soufflé of monkfish with shrimp). If you are ravenous, attempt the chuletón de buey (loin of ox) for two, which comes thick and juicy and accompanied by fresh vegetables. For dessert, order sortido for an assortment of dainty cakes made in-house.

In a historic building in the Barri Gòtic, 3 blocks from the harborfront, Agut epitomizes the bohemian atmosphere surrounding this gritty area. For three-quarters of a century, this has been a family-run business, with María Agut García the current reigning empress. (Don't confuse Agut with the more famous Agut d'Avignon nearby.) The aura evokes the 1940s and 1950s, and the inventive array of restaurant dishes is served at moderate prices.

One of my favorite dishes is soufle de rape amb gambes (soufflé of monkfish with shrimp). If you are ravenous, attempt the chuletón de buey (loin of ox) for two, which comes thick and juicy and accompanied by a mixture of fresh vegetables. For dessert, if you order sortido, you'll get a combination plate with an assortment of the small homemade cakes of the house.
Modern Barcelona restaurants have a tendency to pay more attention to the interior design than the food. However, just as Catalans focus on business when they’re doing business, this family-run restaurant likes to focus on the main event – the food. Interiors here are kept simple with modern touches at a minimum, and if you’re curious to explore traditional Catalan fare beyond butifarra and pan tomaquet, then this is an excellent introduction. For the less adventurous, the monkfish and shrimp soufflé is a sure-fire winner.
Time Out
This has been one of the best inns in Catalonia for many years. They have revived many dishes – such as brains in batter – that had virtually died out. Booking ahead is essential: Every Sunday morning you’ll see queues of people waiting to get in here.
