Located at the heart of Barcelona's Eixample, Can Vallés welcomes us with a look that says nothing about what is really served in this restaurant suitable for the most demanding gourmets. Can Vallés is a humble restaurant with an informal, popular atmosphere and very friendly service that apparently is no special whatsoever. However, those who have discovered it know that the cuisine here is matchless and, actually, there is at least a one-week waiting list to book a table. The restaurant presents rather traditional cuisine with a very personal touch, always cooked with ingredients of the best quality, so it is obviously not a cheap option.
As you are walking down Aragó street, next to Rocafort, suddenly you find a restaurant called Can Vallès. One might think that he has bumped into another Barcelona's bar, and here comes the big mistake. This restaurant with, at first gland, simple appearance, has a lot to show us. The quality, detail and care of the dishes is equivalent to the outstanding restaurants in the city. Recipes made with the best products on the market.
Some dishes: chickpeas with lobster, pork feet cannelloni, fresh seafood, meat served on a hot stone, fresh salads and some very nice tapas! The desserts...? Try the cheesecake or chocolate cake with cinnamon ice cream. And.. the best wines selection!
Do not forget to book in advance as this is a small but very popular place .
Time Out
If you’ve never been here before, then one of the biggest and best surprises awaits you. Their young Galician chef is a true culinary wizard, and this is reflected by the fact that the restaurant is always full, and you have to book well in advance, especially at weekends and lunchtimes. Excellent shellfish dishes and subtle carpaccios served with oils and vinegars prepared by the chef, Jose Álvarez Busto.
