Named for the mató (cottage cheese) traditionally prepared by the Clarist nuns across the street in the Monestir de Pedralbes, this is a fine stop after touring the monastery, which closes at 2 PM. It also has one of the most authentically Catalan menus at a great value. Look for sopa de ceba gratinée (onion soup), trinxat (chopped cabbage with bacon bits), or truite de patata i ceba (potato and onion omelet).
