Great time, good food, reasonable prices,


The Casamona team is having great time in the office and out. This week we had lunch together in a very nice place that you also should try it while you are in Barcelona. A typical Spanish restaurant which manages to embody the image of what one might expect of a traditional restaurant in Barcelona, this is Café de l’Acadèmia. It is a great place to discover the real taste of traditional Catalan food, reasonably priced. Don’t tell your friends about this place :) it is our secret!

Hidden away in the heart of the Gothic district, on Carrer Liedó, only a short walk from Plaça Sant Jaume, Café de L’Academia is a small, but elegant restaurant. They have outdoor tables with umbrellas available on the plaza and tables inside. There are also a few seats at the bar. We all really enjoyed the atmosphere and the rustic decor. The interior is just what you might expect from an old Gothic building: a low ceiling with wooden beams, stone walls, small spaces, soft lighting, wood furniture and a charming atmosphere.

The menu is small but it offers you a good variety. You can get tostidas, pasta, rice, salads, cold soups, fish and steaks. The food is good and fairly priced. Main dishes are up to 20 euros, but the restaurant also offers half portions for most of the dishes.

As a first dish some of us ordered salads, which were very good and the others, a traditional Catalan dish: mashed potatoes mixed with cabbage, a weird combination, but tasty. For the main course we had fish with asparagus and the vegetarian part of the team had pasta. We all tried the house wine. The house red wine was outstanding and definitely it is worth a try.

We enjoyed our lunch together, the food was good and the staff were polite and efficient and they spoke English. We all liked the atmosphere and cosiness of the restaurant. If you want to dine in a traditional Catalan style and to get good food at reasonable prices, Café de L’Academia has for you a lunch menu for ONLY 15 euros, including wine and 3 courses.

Enjoy it in a Spanish way!
