Ferran 59

I’ve stopped into Ferran 59 a number of times over the years. I like its location on Ferran Street (the name of the restaurant and the street address are one in the same), one of my favorite walking streets and areas of Barcelona. It’s right next to the city square where the Visitor Tourist Information Center is located and various other streets that lead into the more historic sections of Barcelona, art shops and museums as well as some of those sort of off the beaten path but very interesting alley like ways and shops.
When you first see Ferran 59 at street level it doesn’t look like much, more of a takeout sandwich shop, but go inside and upstairs. That is where the restaurant and dining area are located.
Ferran 59 is nothing fancy, noted more as being a tapas type of restaurant. However they have a full and complete menu including such goodies as a «Secret Iberian Pig» with mushrooms and lemon mayonnaise, and a very good seafood paella at reasonable prices. They also serve up one of the better sangrias.
On my most recent visit I went for their Veal Entrana with farmer potatoes and chimichurri mayonnaise. The veal was of a good top rib cut they most often refer to as being an entrecôte cut. It came perfectly done as ordered and had a very good flavor about it. As I’ve stated, Ferran 59 is nothing really special, but in my eyes, one of the best for what it is, just being a no frills tapas type of restaurant. Hence, Four Stars.

Please avoid. Found a caterpillar in the food and their reaction was «this happens», no excuses no nothing. To avoid. Horrible service.
