Best Mediterranean food near Montserrat, Province of Barcelona, Spain

August 23, 2019 Toi Mattera

Reviews on Mediterranean food in Montserrat, Province of Barcelona, Spain. This mountain is home to one of the most important religious sites in Spain. A residence for the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, the mountain is visited not only by those seeking spiritual rewards but also by those looking for one of the most spectaculars views of Catalonia. The history of Montserrat goes back to 880 when a group of shepherd children saw a bright light descending from the sky in the Montserrat mountains. The monks are also the owners of the Publicacions de l'Abadia de Montserrat, a publishing house that continues to operate today. It is the oldest press in the world, having published its first book in 1499. Music lovers will appreciate L'Escolania choir, a boys' choir of sopranos and altos based at the Benedictine abbey. They perform every day at the Basilica of Montserrat.

Stopped for lunch on the way up to Montserrat. Friendly people and some English spoken. Set menu at €12 was good value with large portions but unexciting quality. Most of the party had pizza which was good quality and value. The beers were exceptionally cold! The desserts were all packaged. thank you!

Worth a stop on the way back from Montserrat, but do reserve a table in advance. Open for lunch daily, but dinner only on the weekends. We were staying at the attached hotel or would not have know about this fabulous restaurant. The food was amazing! And the prices on the fixed price lunch were unexpected given the quality of the food. 12.5 Euros for a fabulous 3 course meal with wine!

Brasseria la Nova Torrada

Reviewed By molari

This place is deservedly number 1 at time of doing this review. It appears to be only open Friday - Sunday (for info). There were 4 of us dining, with three 5/5 and one 4/5. The impression overall one gets is of passionate and interested staff - the waiter was on the ball, friendly and efficient (despite being only a young lad). The chef came out to see what we thought of his creations. The desserts weren't as impressive as the starters and mains, but I didn't think it fair to mark down to 4 for that...maybe 4 1/2!

Very limited menu and almost nothing for vegetarians. However still the cook rustled up a meal for us. Menu options could improve...bit it's definitely a treat to eat here. Very quiet, as is the entire place and after the day crowds leave, this diner becomes even more exquisite

Great food overall, the menu had multiple options that were excellent for a reasonable price. The wine was decent as well. Service was friendly with limited English, but no English menu. Small place so may be best to call ahead for a table but we were able to walk in (barely). Located down a side 'street' that's walking only but parking is nearby. Highly recommend after a trip to Montserrat.

Reviewed By Lisa W

Called in here after visiting Montserrat with a group of 4 adults and 2 kids.Beautiful building, with interesting items and photos on the walls. Easy parking and easy to get back out onto the road.The staff were helpful and friendly, knowing enough English to help us with the menu.The food was superb - the sausages being the best we have ever had, and we are sausage aficionados! The snails, were not as good as we thought, but we are used to them in garlic, not a tomato based sauce.The cannelloni and salmon/prawn crepes - oh man, delicious!A very good meal, and very good service, you should definitely try here if you are in the area. Prices reasonable considering what you get and what other places in Barcelona were charging.

Restaurante Bartomeu

Reviewed By Kwang-Tat A

We visited the Monserrat Monastery by car and it was one of the restaurants on the way down. We had passed other restaurants just mins from it, but they were either too crowded or doesn't take reservations. While they were busy, they let us in without reservations so it was a good sign about the warm hospitality we were about to experience.Being Asian, we didn't know what is the best local food to order, but there was a very nice lady who spoke English and was very helpful to explain to us what's on the menu, what she'd recommend/prefer and also she seemed to be in charge and made some very nice gestures which I will later elaborate. So eventually, we settled on the seasonal menu, which was value for money for starters/mains/dessert at 14 Euros with water and house wine included. They even served complimentary starters of some tasty potato salad and croquette with tuna, and bread which were delicious and we were partly full before our actual starters arrived.They also made sure our colleague who was muslim had no meat in the salad starter. So, if its attention and hospitality that you like for a restaurant this rustic local restaurant is a great choice.The food was good too, and while, its not going to win a Michelin star, all of us loved one dish or another. I had tail of monkfish which I suppose was pan-fried, and finished in what I guess was a reduced white wine sauce with rehydrated dried apricots and prunes. Monkfish was new to me, and it had a robust (not fishy taste) so it tasted fine overall. Another colleague ordered lamb which tasted good too. We did order an additional plate of fried calamari, where the batter was not deep fried to a usual crispy finish but came soft which we were not used to. We did not dislike either as the seafood was fresh.The seasonal salad was also very tasty and fresh, with goat's cheese, walnuts, raisin bursting with sweetness, some quince jam, and apple slices. We never got to dessert as we were stuffed due to the above average portions (for Asians anyway), and the lady proprietary or manager was kind enough to swap dessert with complimentary barista machine brewed coffee which we appreciated more being jetlagged and all. They have a good selection of desserts including a local cheese, the special catalonian cream, cakes (lemon and triple-chocolate cake), etc. Actually before we decided it was too much of a good thing for desserts (we saw the big portions of the local creme catayluna) she actually gave us a sample of a small slice of lemon mousse cake when I asked if it was not too sweet. It tasted light and had good lemon tangy balance BTW, and I was tempted to ask if I could have one more slice to share (but I didn't as that would be taking advantage of their fine hospitality since we agreed to replace dessert with coffee) while we had coffee.They even left us take away our bottle of house wine, but they had to pour it in a another empty plastic water bottle as they would recycle the glass bottle which we completely understand. The red wine was easy to drink, a fruity young wine with berry and floral notes and low tannin, which went surprisingly well with my fish.So many good points about feeling welcome and accommodating to your needs, we probably take a detour from the City again and come by this lovely restaurant.

Good tapas combo with a really good Catalan sausage option. The crepe also delightful. Try a bottle of the Enate, well priced at 18e. Very enjoyable lunch.

Visual Gastrobar

VISUAL Gastrobar & Coctelería is born from the restlessness of its owners for undertaking a business idea focused on the quality of the products, with a close and professional treatment, with a gastronomic offer of Mediterranean-fusion food.

Reviewed By Michael M

First of all, Visual Gastrobar is the only place I've seen in Martorell that has artisan cocktails. They're very interesting and tasty, but for the price they lack alcohol. I don't order them anymore because they cost around 8€ each and they hardly have any booze. However, if you are looking for interesting drinks this is the place to go. The food, on the other hand, is nothing special. It's quite expensive and you can get better stuff for less money about 3 minutes down the street. If they lowered the prices or significantly improved the quality, I would be a regular.

Service and food are ok... but definitely not quite worth the price.Portions could be slightly more generous, or prices should be reduced. Not as great as it's made out to be.Thank you for sharing your opinion on tripadvisor.We regret to learn that your dinner did not stand up to your expectations, and have taken good note of your comments.Your sincerely
