Agut d'Avignon

(Avinyo, 8) Cuisines: European, Spanish

About

One of my favorite restaurants in Barcelona is in a tiny alleyway near the Plaça Reial. It's still going strong after 40 years, and it has a dedicated following. Since 1983 Mercedes Giralt Salinas and her son, Javier Falagán Giralt, have run the restaurant. A small 19th-century vestibule leads to the multilevel dining area, which has two balconies and a main hall evoking a hunting lodge. You may need help translating the Catalan menu. The traditional specialties are likely to include acorn-squash soup served in its shell, fisherman's soup with garlic toast, haddock stuffed with shellfish, sole with nyoca (a medley of nuts), large shrimp with aioli, duck with figs, and filet beefsteak in sherry sauce.
