Lluritu
Lluritu is a fish and seafood restaurant located in the northern district of Gracia. They have a different style of cooking. They state that grill and grill define the style - a style with minimal or no garnish on the dishes. The essence is what makes a dish important: "set of attributes of an object or substance that make it what it is, and that it possesses by necessity, since without them it loses its identity." Again, for Lluritu don't forget to make reservations.
Parking Pizza
As the name suggests it is a garage, with a pizzeria inside. The outside of the pizzaria looks like a real car garage. There are only 8 possible toppings for a pizza. They cook the pizzas over wood fire. The place has literally everything that can be expected from a pizzeria with large wooden tables, it is where the name "pizza bar" comes from :)
