Bcn RestaurantesFounded in 1786, Can Culleretes can boast about being the oldest restaurant in Barcelona and the second in Spain. Owned since 1958 by the family Agut Manubens, the restaurant contains within its walls over two hundred years of history that are present in every corner. Spread out over different spaces that make it perfect for any group celebration, the emblematic restaurant -located very near Las Ramblas- is decorated with large paintings of the early twentieth century and welcomes us in a really nice atmosphere. The extensive menu includes the most typical recipes of the traditional Catalan cuisine, always made good market produce.
200 years old, Can Culleretes is the oldest restaurant in Barcelona, the second oldest in Spain. That is little to say that this Brasserie is a classic of Catalan cooking. Traditional dishes like roast lechon (suckling pig), cuixa d'oca amb pomes (goose leg with apples), Canelones de brandada de bacalao... That smells unfortunately the old house, a family kitchen but really without more. One final we were really disappointed. Must make efforts to return in the race.
Barcelona’s oldest restaurant, and one of the oldest in Spain, is still going strong. The Agut-Manubens family, with mother and daughter to the fore, serve good Catalan cooking at very reasonable prices, notably their cannelloni with cod, roast sea bream and escudella i carn d'olla. And I promise you, afterwards you’ll never be hungry again. An ideal place for an enjoyable low-key Sunday meal.
Just off the Rambla in the Gothic Quarter, this family-run restaurant founded in 1786 displays tradition in both decor and culinary offerings. As Barcelona's oldest restaurant (listed in the Guinness Book of Records), generations of the Manubens and Agut families have kept this unpretentious spot at the forefront of the city's dining options for over two centuries. Wooden beams overhead and bright paintings of sea- and landscapes on the walls surround a jumble of tables. Traditional Catalan specialties such as spinach cannelloni with cod, wild boar stew, or the classic white beans with botifarra sausage are impeccably prepared by a fleet of skilled family chefs.
Founded in 1786 as a pastelería (pastry shop), Barcelona's oldest restaurant retains many original architectural features. All three dining rooms are decorated with tile dadoes and wrought-iron chandeliers. The well-prepared food features authentic dishes from northeastern Spain, including sole Roman style, zarzuela a la marinera (shellfish stew), cannelloni, and paella and special game dishes, including perdiz (partridge). The service is old-fashioned, and sometimes it's filled more with tourists than locals, but it retains enough authentic touches to make it feel like the real McCoy. Signed photographs of visiting celebrities, flamenco artists, and bullfighters decorate the walls.
"The teaspoon house" has been going on since the opening year 1786 and is still one of the most popular restaurants among people who love traditional catalan food. It is a family buisness and at the moment the third generation is taking care of Can Culleretes. There are no secrets, only home made things made with time and love, Escudella Catalana, Canelones etc. There are several rooms and a second floor and the interior has the character of a farmhouse, the walls have paintings from the beginning of the last century. Prices are reasonably low.
If you came here when it opened in 1780, you could have eaten lunch for 2 ptas, which doesn't even translate into euros anymore. Check the walls adorned with documents, photos and paintings that record its long and illustrious history and immortalize the famous guests. As for the food, it is 100 percent homemade, traditional Catalan fare, like Cannelloni, Potato Omelet, Meatballs with Cuttlefish, Duck with Plums and Fried Fish in generous portions. The restaurant fills up every day with regulars, curious tourists and students.
