El Motel
A family-run restaurant with lots of history that first opened its doors in 1961; as a result, both the classic decor and the service seem as though they are from a different era. The à la carte featuring a mix of traditional Catalan and international dishes is complemented by a menu (“Sabores de temporada”) that focuses on seasonal flavours. Don’t miss the cheese trolley!
