Stretched across the ground and first levels of a historic building in the Gothic neighbourhood, El Pintor preserves history through its decor—long lamps hanging on the walls, huge pendulum clocks and floor-to-ceiling windows lend the restaurant its elegant and upclass charisma. The menu includes seasonal, traditional Catalan dishes—black rice with cuttlefish and prawns, oven-baked lamb shoulder, and cod on honey with raisins and pine kernels. And don't forget to check out the wide range of wines from the cellar.
