Cal Papi<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We love nothing more than a mother’s home cooking! There is something so deliciously comforting and authentic about it. Which is one of the reasons we love this little local’s only lunch spot. Find it tucked away on a side street just off the Barceloneta<\/a> main square. It is run by a local family who specializes in all sorts of delicious and simple Catalan cuisine. It is definitely one of our favorite\u00a0Catalan restaurants in Barcelona. We love this place so much that we even visit on our Tastes & Traditions of Barcelona Food Tour!<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
