Can MarLau — Restaurant in Barcelona

Can MarLau is a true gem nestled in the heart of L’Eixample, where culinary craftsmanship meets an intimate, yet refined, dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in an atmosphere that effortlessly balances sophistication with warmth—a prelude to the gastronomic journey ahead.

The menu showcases a masterful interplay of flavors, textures, and technique. The squid with pork jowl is nothing short of a revelation, where the unctuous richness of the jowl harmonizes exquisitely with the tender brininess of the squid. The steak tartare, delicately seasoned and expertly chopped, delivers a depth of flavor that lingers with every bite. The house croquette is an indulgent bite of pure comfort, while the pa de vidre with tomato epitomizes the simplicity and perfection of Catalan tradition.

But what truly elevated my experience was an off-menu dish—chickpeas that transcended mere sustenance. Each bite sent my taste buds into rapturous convulsions of pleasure, an almost visceral experience of culinary euphoria. It was the kind of dish that lingers in memory long after the meal ends, a testament to the chef’s artistry.

Can MarLau is not just a restaurant; it is an experience, a tribute to the beauty of well-executed cuisine. For those who appreciate food that speaks to the soul, this establishment is an...

Fantastic everything!

I was traveling to Barcelona to visit friends and family for the first time and was told to try this restaurant as it is had amazing Catalan cuisine.

Ton was our waiter and his service was exceptional. We went with his recommendations and it was the best decision we made.

We started with La russa de la casa (just the right level of creamy) and ració de pa de coca de vidre (toast you could die for).

We then moved onto Bonítol amb ceba confitada. The sauce was amazing and the tuna was fresh as it can get.

For the main, we had the canelones de pollastre rostit. I was a bit worried as I usually don't like cannelloni, however was happy to be proven wrong as this is was delicious.

Lastly, was dessert, we had the cheesecake, definitely done different in Barcelona, especially compared to was I am use to, yet none the less, still tasty.

Overall the restaurant vibes were chill and would highly...

Great food, even better service!

I had a lovely experience at this restaurant. What stood out immediately was how genuinely kind and attentive the staff were — the waiters made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire meal. Friendly, fast, and always with a smile.

The real surprise, though, was the Russian salad. It was absolutely delicious — creamy without being heavy, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. You can tell they put care into every detail.

It’s not just about the food here — it’s the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back. If you’re looking for a place with great service and standout dishes, this...
