The Cullera de Boix restaurants, specialises in paella and located in downtown Barcelona, join the city’s main festival by offering a full menu at 24 euros for these special dates.
The main festival is tantamount to celebrating, the day of the city’s big party with friends and relatives. The restaurant specialising in rice dishes and located in Barcelona makes it easy for you: it offers a special menu for the occasion, so you do not have to think about what to cook.
You can enjoy this menu on the three festival days: 23 (Friday night), 24 (Saturday) all day and 25 September (Sunday), coinciding with the major festival of the Catalan capital.
The proposal consists of an appetizer with an assortment of seafood, some battered calamari, a Russian salad and homemade ham croquettes.
The Cullera de Boix chef, Xavier Matarrodona, has designed this menu with great attention to details and choosing the dishes that best fit these dates.
As a main course, it offers a roast chicken, like the one that has always been cooked at all homes for the main festival, cod confit with ratatouille and, inevitably, a trademark rice. In fact, if Cullera de Boix is specialising in something, this is definitely rice dishes: its paellas claim to be the best in downtown Barcelona. Thus, a rice dish with meat and fish had to be included in the La Mercè menu.
If you want to enjoy the dance and folk music show on Friday 23rd at 6 p.m. on Sant Jaume square or if you prefer to see the projection on the facade of the city hall, remember that the Cullera de Boix – Boqueria is very close.
On Saturday, we suggest you go to Sant Jaume square at 11 a.m. to see the giants start off, and do not miss the La Mercè procession parade at 12 p.m., which will move around the old town and fill the streets with music and traditional dances. We will be waiting for you at the Cullera de Boix, where you can sip your vermouth and eat with the family.
On the main day of La Mercè, the festival parade starts at 5.30 p.m., and there will also be various sardana (Catalan dance and music) groups. We encourage you to join in and then dine at the Cullera de Boix.
Do not forget that there will be an open day at the Picasso Museum, the Sagrada Familia and the History Museum of Catalonia. You have a Cullera de Boix close by, so you can come for lunch or dinner afterwards. And there is nothing better to end the day and digest than a dramatised tour at the Amatller house, where you will receive a glass of sparkling wine.
To end the festivities, on Sunday morning you can enjoy the stick (Sant Jaume square) and sardana (Cathedral avenue) dances and regain strength afterwards with our menu, which includes a great paella. Or you can enjoy Cullera de Boix’ special menu for La Mercè and head to the pyro-musical that will culminate the festival at 11 p.m. on Maria Cristina avenue.
