    A special occasion place given that it is the oldest restaurant in Barcelona (since 1786). We had the "usual/typical" cannelloni as a starter and it was delicious. Two in our party ordered the veal and very much liked it. The other two ordered the fixed price seafood. I have always disliked muscles and was completely shocked that I liked the way they were prepared. Everything else was great, too. Even enjoyed dessert and the sangria.

    It is not easy to keep the quality for more than 200 years! That’s right! This is a restaurant that ages almost 240 years. The food was very tasty and with high quality. The staff were super nice and professional. They were quick and brought our food really fast. We arrived quiet late but they managed to give us a table. The Garlic Shrimp was amazing and super tasty. We also had mixed plate which was super delicious and highly recommended. If you want to experience a Spanish food in a very calm and relaxed area, you have found what you want!

    (Translated by Google) Inside the city is the Can Culleretes house, year 1786, an emblematic place steeped in history, if you want to eat surrounded by its history, I recommend it, especially its famous cannelloni, it is not that they are special, they remind those of the iaia, love other dishes, nothing more to say. (Original) Dentro de la ciudad se encuentra la casa Can Culleretes, año1786,un lugar emblemático cargado de historia, si queréis comer rodeado de su historia,os lo recomiendo, sobre todo sus famosos canelones, no es que sean especiales es que recuerdan a los de la iaia, amen de otros platos, nada mas que decir.

    Our private tour guide earlier today, highly recommended this restaurant. So we decided to try it. Not having reservations, we lucked out and there was an open table and were seated immediately. The appetizers, entrees and dessert were excellent! The customer service was excellent too! I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Best Crema Catalana I have ever had. This place has a family-run atmosphere that adds to the immersion nto delicious Catalonian dishes. Everything was spectacular here but the Crema Catalana is one dish I will be thinking about for a long time.

  • 4/5 Taguhi U. 5 years ago on Google
    A restaurant since 1786. What else do you wanna hear? An authentic Catalan restaurant, very delisious food, amazing paintings and pictures on the walls, we didn't know to eat or check them. The prices are fair. I could say only the positive stuff about this place, but I give 4 stars because I didn't like how unfriendly the waiters were. That changes a lot about the atmosphere...

    (Translated by Google) The oldest restaurant in Catalonia. VERY RECOMMENDED. There were not many vegetarian options on the menu but I asked and they offered me several alternatives.

  • 4/5 Paz Acuña T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The restaurant retains its identity and they have a very rich and varied menu for € 16, with drinks and dessert included, although a bit tight in terms of quantities. The sanitary measures are very good and it is appreciated since you go and you do not have to worry about it. It is important to book in advance as they usually have many diners. (Original) El restaurante conserva su identidad y tienen un menú por 16€ muy rico y variado, con bebida y postre incluidos, aunque un poco justo en cuanto a cantidades.

  • 5/5 Veronica G. 1 year ago on Google
    We were doing what tourists do best when we were shopping and talking to the shop keepers - the owner of a small store referred us here and said it was one of the oldest restaurants in Barcelona and served traditional Catalan entrees. We headed to the place and of course they didn’t open for dinner until 8pm - so we shopped some more and headed back exactly at 8! They asked if we had reservations - which we did not, but they were able to seat us anyway! We were the first party seated and when we looked up about 10 minutes later (while we were selecting from the menu!) the place was packed! The food was amazing - the service was excellent and the atmosphere made it feel like we truly were in one of the areas oldest restaurants - and not in a bad, funky way. Overall excellent experience and offered us the chance to try a few items we hadn’t seen on other menus in the area!

    A must try while in Barcelona as it's one of the oldest establishments in the city. Knowing a few general Catalan/Spanish phrases came in handy for ordering. Also recommend making reservations in advance. As an American, don't be afraid to ask for the bill when finished but be sure to take your time enjoying the food!

  • 2/5 Matt R. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was relatively decent but not exactly memorable or would blow your mind away. Waitress was very impolite and rude and marginally changed her tone when she realised I could speak Spanish (she reverted back to type after the initial surprise). I also found a cockroach in the bathroom after our meal so not great

We chose the € 16 menu and it was an excellent choice: a first course, a main course and a dessert (all from a base of choice between various dishes). Also including a bottle of tinto wine !! I highly recommend it. (Original) Ristorante storico dove tuttora si assaporano piatti tipici. Molto apprezzato anche da mia moglie,che essendo Catalana ha voluto provare il famosi "caneloni".

    A true Catalan experience. When we arrived, without reservations, the restaurant was full of locals enjoying their afternoon meal. We were very pleased that they had a table for us in the back room. The menu del dia was authentic and delicious. It is clear that this restaurant is beloved by the citizens of Barcelona and hasn't fallen into the tourist category.

    Another local institution (supposedly oldest restaurant) serving traditional dishes that we just have to make a reservation in advance. We were skeptical about the dishes at first due to their simplicity until we realised that's the reason for their success - Unpretentious yet tasty food at affordable prices. The Cannelloni tasted great and was filling enough as a small meal. Grilled seafood was our absolute favourite and we will come back for it. Veal stew with mushrooms were slightly heavy on our taste buds. We also had a nice Sangria to go with the food.

    Came here to see the oldest restaurant in Catalonia. According to the tablecloth, the place opened in 1786. Lots of autographed photos along the walls. Impressively large black metal chandeliers. Pretty cool. The veal tenderloin was very good - tender, fresh, and tasty. The paella was okay. Prawns a bit overdone and bland. I'm always surprised to see how much sauce is included as I thought a crispy rice soccarat was ideal. Fish and mussels great. Pork ribs tender and tasty although mostly bone.

    Our first outstanding Spanish meal was here. Due to its popularity, it's wise to book in advance. The food was exceptional, and we're glad we visited. A must-try when in Barcelona.

    Very nice place. We went there at 12:50 because we had no reservations and it was the best thing to do. Soon there was a huge cue. The staff was very efficient and the food was good. I would recommend for a catalan experience. The crema catalan was really good.

    I guess when you have so many awards, you don't need to care about costumers anymore.... Otherwise food was good

    Reservations are a must! They never take walk-ins as they're always fully booked. It was a nice experience due to the history of the restaurant but I would not keep going back. The food was alright. Service was relatively prompt. Sangria was stronger than expected.

    Around 1pm on a Thursday, we heard noise from a crowd gathered outside our hotel room. Once we figured out that the line was for a restaurant, we had to check it out. Honestly, it was one of the best meals we had the entire week in Barcelona. The meal was nothing short of amazing. Perfectly prepared suckling pig, with soup and pork fillets and fries. Followed up with frozen strawberry yogurt, along with raspberry cheesecake. I would happily recommend this place to anyone visiting Barcelona.

    Would be a 5, but service to Americans was a little cold shouldered. Most excellent squid though! And for a mushroom hater the veal was fantastic.

    (Translated by Google) Today I have been in Can Cullaretas and we liked it a lot because it was quieter, the tables were not as close together as the last time we came, which was before the coronavirus. That time they served us in a hurry and worse quality.

    (Translated by Google) Very very good. Real cuisine in a real typical Barcelona restaurant. Everything is period. So among all these ephemeral restaurants of today .... It's a safe bet. To be done again, especially in mind to reserve, because even today, Barcelona almost empty because of the covid, it was almost full. (Original) Très très bien. De la vraie cuisine dans un vrai restaurant typique Barcelona ils. Tout est d'époque. Donc parmi tous ces restaurants éphémères d'aujourd'hui.... C'est une valeur sûre. A refaire en pensant surtout à réserver, car même aujourd'hui, Barcelone quasi vide à cause du covid, c'était presque complet.

    This is one of the oldest restaurants in Barcelona. Been going since 1786 with true Catalonian food. The traditional old-style restaurant with excellent service and absolutely delicious amazing food. We went for lunch and we ordered the lunch menu main and desserts are excellent. Quail was marvelous with an amazing gravy and mushroom sauce. In all, a truly excellent lunch! Must visit!

  • 5/5 James W. 4 years ago on Google
    Known for their traditional Catalan cuisine, do not be surprised or deterred to see a line of people waiting for it to open for lunch at 1:30 PM. There are a lot of seats within the restaurant, and even if you don't have a reservation, they can find you somewhere (although it will be more difficult during peak tourist season). They have a great set three-course menu and I highly recommend trying their duck which was one of my favorites.

    My humble opinion, avoid the tourist traps and visit this lovely local restaurant. Real Catalan kitchen with the cosy traditional ornaments and old pictures on the walls, old posters with bull flights. The food is so tasty you cannot stop, especially shrimps 🍤 in garlic souse, mmmmm !

    (Translated by Google) Historic restaurant in the city where typical Catalan dishes are served. The dishes are good although expect a little more for being a price of the weekly daily menu of € 16. The staff was attentive and polite. The security measures that are currently required are followed. (Original) Restaurante histórico de la ciudad donde se sirven platos típicos de Catalunya.

    Great Catalan food with history. Delicious and reasonable. Staff are very helpful and attentive. We really like interior of restaurant. I bet the restaurant is very popular among local as well. I am glad I had meals there. Highly recommended!

    This grand restaurant is here since the 1700's. We were worried that it might've not been able to withstand the pandemic but here it is! (now they have to pay back the loan to the Municipatity). The food was quite good. We had the butifarra with beans, the foie salad and the cod stew with orange juice. The place was packed full and there was a 30 min wait.

  • 1/5 Nino M. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably the worst food I have ever eaten. Lamb chops with literally no meat on them, just bone. Wild boar stew that was so sparsely it looked like brown water. Not to mention it was only meat, no pasta or any other side dish. I can’t believe it…

  • 4/5 Peti S. 1 year ago on Google
    I've heard great comments on the place, being the oldest restaurant of Barcelon, I thought worth a visit. A great place to visit for a lunch, and the service is attentive, and fast. The food is not so particular and outstanding, the 'canelones de sempre' had a weird sour after-taste. Main dish was a huge portion whilst crema catalan as dessert was a pretty descent dish.

    The tour guide, from the free walking tour recommended this place as a place to eat typical Catalan food ☺️ As I love to try new stuff, weird stuff, and stuff that I can’t eat at home, I had to go to a typical place ☺️ And since this place exists since 1786, I had to try it ☺️ When I got in I saw many old people on the tables, that looked like a nice place to eat, but it was a Sunday, so maybe it was related with that. For starters had the “Escalivada” with goat cheese. It’s a mixed of over cooked vegetables, really not a thing to have again… everything was over cooked and mushy not my kind of plate. Then I had the “Jarret de vedella” as I thought it was the typical Catalan dish that is similar to goulash, well it was just stewed meat 😅 with mushrooms I think. It was ok, but not great or anything like that. Then I had the Creme à catalana that is an French influence and similar to crème burle. Now this was great, you could taste the smoke of burning the sugar and that was very exquisite, really liked. The menu was expensive, 22€ plus extra 2.5€ for the beer (it was a Sunday). Also didn’t like that on some dishes on the daily menu, you had to pay extra… very rip off. The staff was friendly, but not a place that would like to return, unless to try the French fries that looked very good on other guest dish 😅 The dessert was really good ☺️

    This is a very special place and always a place for special occasions for locals… as we, tourists still can feel those celebrations on nearby tables. The elegant decorations are very impressive. Both the dishes and services are superb. Highly recommended.

    We came to this restaurant followed by the recommendation of our hostel owner. It lives up to its reputation! We came around 1:15 and we had to leave a name to reserve for the next round. The place is filled with local regulars, then you know it’s the right place for you to go when you are eager to taste the local food! We came back in 2:15 to get our table and ordered the day menu, which includes one entree, one main, one desert and one drink, total 18Euro!! The food was fantastic!! Canelons els de sempre is a must if you want to go full Catalonia! We also tried the squid and the chicken, which are very well -seasoned! It tastes great! The decor is filled with history. when you dine here, you are not only fill your stomach, but also taste the culture and history! The staff is very friendly and helpful! Definitely a must when you are visiting to Barcelona!

    Beautiful place, very excited to eat here. Delicious mains, desert was a bit off. A little bit disappointed about the service, our waitress was very rude from the beginning. Felt rushed while ordering and eating.
