Via Veneto

Almost everyone in Barcelona is aware of the legendary culinary status of Via Veneto! Even after half a century of service and change, the Monje family has retained the true values of this restaurant that seems anchored in the past, but which has been able to move with the times without losing an ounce of its personality. To an elegant and genuine Belle Époque backdrop, young chef David Andrés maintains the culinary status quo here through cuisine that underpins its classical heritage, albeit with a focus on a more modern technical approach and a select array of ingredients. Delicious game dishes (hare royale, red partridge with stewed cabbage, loin of venison etc) are also on the menu in season. Guests can visit the superb wine cellar, 6m underground, which boasts an outstanding collection of Spanish and French wines. A favourite dish here is the pressed roast duck cooked in its own jus and served two ways (for a minimum of two guests) which has featured on the menu since 1967!
