Restaurant Can Culleretes

By @DavidLeon

Barcelona’s oldest restaurant in preservation. Portrait-lined rooms have carried centuries of weddings, baptisms, and long Sunday lunches. This isn’t a place for innovation; it’s where you order canelons and suquet and enjoy. A survivor run by people who care about the past, where tradition takes the lead.

Address: Carrer d'en Quintana, 5, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona, Spain
