Casa
Leopoldo is an unpretentious restaurant in a seedy part of the Raval
district, one you wouldn't stumble across on your typical tour of
Barcelona. It serves excellent food, though at a price, in pleasant,
tiled dining rooms which were full on our visit.
Marinated
olives were served as a matter of course and the waiter persuaded
us to order a portion of the delicious tomato and garlic bread oozing
with olive oil. We did resist the fish of the day having read reports
that it could seriously inflate the bill!
We
were really impressed with the fabulous starters: scrambled eggs
with asparagus and prawns and baby broad beans sautéed with
black pudding and wild mushrooms
Perhaps
it was because we were full (after two days of feasting on fantastic
food) the main courses although good, weren’t the most memorable.
We had grilled Angler fish and hake (a little plain) and a plateful
of Chipirones ( baby squid) which although tasty we have tasted
better.
The
total cost of the meal for two, including starters, main courses
and wine was 80 euros.

Note
From the Editor
Thanks
Louise for that review. I would just like to add that there are
two very different routes to get to Casa Leopoldo’s by foot
these are.
Dodgy
route
The
first is the “dodgy way” i.e. not highly recommended
at night time unless you are comfortable with the area and have
had some experience of Barcelona. You will also be likely to be
confronted with prostitutes on this route. Walk along Ramblas to
Carrer de Sant Pau then take a right turn onto Calle Robador then
left onto Sant Rafael and walk to no 24
The
safer route
Walk along the Ramblas and turn onto Calle Hospital and continue
for about 5 mins and then turn left onto Calle de Cadena and
then turn left onto Calle Sant Rafael and walk to No. 42.
