In 1835, the Bofarull family founded one of the most charismatic restaurants in the city, Can Bofarull, in the most emblematic part of the Gothic District, near Las Ramblas in Barcelona. Over time, the restaurant was renamed in honour of one of its most famous dishes, Los Caracoles (Snails). Since then, four more generations of the Bofarull family have managed to maintain the excellent standard of it's high quality traditional cooking.The restaurant's well-earned fame has spread all over the world and is now an absolute must for all those visiting our city. It stands out for always having been a place frequented by famous personalities from the world of art, show business, politics and finance, attracted not only by the choice of culinary pleasures served there but also the charm of its numerous little corners so full of history.

This is an unmissable experience. There are multiple dining areas in this historic building. Fascinating looking at the pictures of celebrities who have visited the restaurant. One of our group had the signature soup and loved it. We all found something delicious to order. Great ambiance, friendly service and inspired menu.

Great place in history and for that I’ll pay the higher prices but those prices are not reflected in the flavor of the food. I ordered the Bouilibase as it’s been on the menu since the 50’s. That should have been my first clue. Food has evolved since then and this dish has not. The stock was bland at best and portion of actual seafood was minimal but they gave you a gallon of the stock. My sister had their roasted chicken which was very good. I am still glad we went but for the money there are so many better place to go.
