Salterio — Restaurant in Barcelona

The Salterio is a little treasure of a tea house, located discreetly in the Gothic Quarters. It is located in one of the narrow streets in this quarter and a must visit place.

Walked in here wanting a place to drink some tea, rest my feet and get away from the heat. This is indeed the place that fulfills those needs. As soon as you walk in, it feels very cozy, intimate and cool. It is not so well lit to preserve the feeling that u are in a cave. There is an English and Spanish menu that is very helpful. The people who work at the cafe are extremely nice. The service may be bit slow since there are only 2-3 staff forbthe entire place. This is a place to relax and where u can take your time and not be in a rush. The bathroom and sink are located in a side room that is very dark. However, there is a switch to turn on the light. The flush on the toilet doesn't work. You need to pull up on the tin can on top of the toilet tank to flush it. Don't let the restroom and toilet prevent you from visiting this cafe. It's a diamond in the rough...Just be aware, they don't accept credit...
