Can Llevorer

A family restaurant with over 70 years of history; in fact, it is now run by the third generation! It boasts an excellent location on the outskirts of town, in an attractive chalet-style house with a terrace and two private car parks. Inside, there are two distinct areas: La Cruïlla, for an affordable daily set menu, and El Portal Vell, with a more upmarket feel and a glass-fronted kitchen so you can observe the chefs as they work. The menu, with a distinctly Catalan flavour, is complemented by two set menus (Vega and Seasonal).

The best aspect of this kind of family-run restaurant is the unhurried and stress-free approach which is very much in keeping with the principles of the Slow Food movement. The focus of the married couple that run and own Lluerna, Víctor Quintillà (in the kitchen) and Mar Gómez (front of house), is on sustainable cuisine that champions locally sourced ingredients (chicken from the Penedés area, Duroc pigs, Xisqueta lambs, pigeon from the Tatjé family etc). These are showcased via a modern take on Catalan recipes that uses skilled techniques to enhance their delicate textures and maximise each

The name of this family-run restaurant is an unmistakeable reference to Michelin’s stars which the French refer to colloquially as “macaroons”.Here, in a modern yet welcoming ambience, discover chef Miquel Aldana’s propensity for high-quality Catalan cuisine that is contemporary in style, adapted to seasonality and firmly connected to the surrounding El Maresme area of Barcelona province.

If you like the tableware here, make

A modern atmosphere, especially cosy, and with a profusion of wood, this restaurant invites us to stay a while. From the kitchen comes an updated Mediterranean proposal, with Catalan roots and nods to international cuisine, providing a fresh, almost botanical look, very much in line with the name of the restaurant. The à la carte is complemented by a set lunch menu on weekdays and a tasting menu.

A good location in a narrow pedestrianised street in Terrassa’s old quarter. The couple who own it (Imma is in charge of the dining room while Sergio mans the stoves) focus on updated traditional cuisine which, whenever possible, uses locally sourced organic ingredients and tries to revive long-forgotten recipes from local farms, albeit with a modern twist. The name of the restaurant, which translates literally as “the sky of the geese”, is an expression frequently used by Imma’s grandfather to describe anything that was “sublime”. Varied à la carte, set daily menu, plus an extensive seasonal

Although the word “Vapor” (the Spanish for “steam”) automatically brings to mind the world of gastronomy, here, in a lively pedestrianised street in Terrassa’s old quarter, it is also used to pay tribute to the unusual industrial revolution that took place in Terrassa in the 19C, where steal transformed its textile industry and led to the town’s reputation as “the town of steam engines”. Behind the façade, you’ll find a pleasant brasserie-style eatery with an open-view kitchen, where the regionally inspired à la carte always champions locally produced and “zero-miles” ingredients. Make sure yo

A family-run restaurant that is almost always full and has been delighting local palates since 1949! Located in a wooded area alongside a main road, it boasts a pleasant terrace, an attractive entrance hall and several simply laid out dining rooms, including one with an open fireplace. The cuisine here is focused on Catalan dishes with pride of place given to grilled dishes (we enjoyed the grilled octopus with a “trinxat” of broccoli, "torreznos” from Soria, and a piripiri sauce, as well as variety of local specialities such as the famous Mongetes del Ganxet – tender white beans which are only
