Cuixart, Barcelona

That Poble Sec is surrounded by the artistic atmosphere of El Paral.lel becomes evident at this restaurant, full of images, pictures and paintings of the past. The menu has Italian, French and Basque influences. They serve salads, side dishes, fish, meat such as Ox Tail with Red Wine, and home-made desserts, all made with fantastic creativity. There is a patio, where you can also eat and enjoy their Pica-Pica (half portions of any dish to try) and an appetizing set menu at lunch time. On Fridays, regulars come to eat the home-made beans from Tolosa. Good wine list and very friendly and obliging service.
