$$$$, Basque, Eixample
Fodor's Review:
Long one of Barcelona's top restaurants, Beltxenea is ornamented with carved-wood columns in the hall, grand oak fireplaces, elegant Isabelline high-back chairs, and chandeliers all recalling the past glories of this lovely town house. In summer you can dine outdoors in the formal garden. Chef Miguel Ezcurra's Basque cuisine is exquisite; a specialty is merluza con kokotxas y almejas (hake simmered in stock with clams and barbels). Try the house wines -- all excellent.
