L’Antic Bocoi Del Gòtic

My husband and I visited Barcelona a few weeks ago. I have an allergy to gluten, so we ensured that we made a few gluten-​free friendly restaurant reservations.
L’Antic Bocoi Del Gòtic is a MUST regardless of food allergies. Their food is incredibly fresh and ridiculously good! In fact, we loved it so much, that we returned a few nights later for a second visit.
They have a gluten free pizza option that is the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had (including state side AND in Italy)!
The restaurant is small and intimate, so definitely ensure that you have a reservation. If not, it’s always worth stopping in to see if they’ve had any cancellations. That worked in our favor on our second visit.
To the owners of L’Antic Bocoi Del Gòtic — thank you for your warm hospitality. We will definitely be back!

Des genres de Pizza a la façon catalan. Jolie salades mais chere pour 10euro! Tres chere pour des pizza … Avec tres peu dessus ! Non recommendable … Et en plus on a fain apres … Mais beau cadre. Cela ce paye ???

I am glad they have glutenfree pizza, the topping was great but the bread was not fresh, it was a frozen pizza crust from the shop. It was hard and dry. But better than no pizza of course. :) The normal pizza was amazing though, at least that’s what my friend said.

Hands down the best meal I had while on vacation in Barcelona and probably one of the better meals I’ve ever had. The restaurant is tucked away one one of the small streets in the Gothic district of Barcelona. The menu is simple, in English, AND there is gluten free bread available.
The star of the show are the little pizzas called coques. Highly recommend getting the traditional escalavida (sp?) as a topping and then there are other choices you can make in terms of cheese, sausage, etc. This thing was phenomenal and I wanted to order a second one. My wife had the gluten free version and was equally as impressed — the crust was perfectly crispy. We started with the traditional tomato bread, which the waiter kindly offered to split into half normal, half gluten free. The bread was amazingly crusty, but the toppings were a bit salty.
If you’re on vacation don’t miss this place, especially if you’re a celiac and looking for some gluten free options.

Creative twist on Catalan cuisine executed superbly.

Wandering around the medieval streets of Barri Gòtic in Barcelona, it’s hard to imagine a world beyond the amazing array of antique buildings, pocket-​sized shops and charming restaurants. If you take the time to lose yourself in the fantastic gothic quarter you just might find a diamond in a pile of gems. One such jewel is a flawless Catalan restaurant called L’Antic Bocoi del Gòtic.
Their menu doesn’t boast a myriad of options but what they lack in selection they make up for with a delicate attention to gastronomic detail and a fair amount of personal service; simply put their cuisine is fabulous. One of their flagship meals, coques de recapte, is a traditional recipe that you could describe as the Catalan alternative to pizza. Though the established ingredients, salted cod, eggplant, and raw sausage, are always on the menu, they do take some creative liberties, building these dishes with such ingredients as arugula, sun dried tomatoes and gorgonzola. This mixture of old world and contemporary does not stop with the food, the exposed brick architecture is accented by abstract paintings and modern metal light fixtures to form a balance of design that leaves you feeling like a guest rather than a customer. Serving you will most likely be the owners themselves; when they’re are not in the kitchen dreaming up new variations on timeless classics they head out to the tables to explain the subtle nuances that make L’Antic Bocoi del Gòtic a unique and inviting restaurant.

This place has a tiny menu essentially consisting of salads and traditional catalan pizzas called coques. But everything is very good, and the staff is very nice. It’s in a beautiful old place in the gothic quarter that shares one wall with the Torre Romana, a 4^th century remnant of the old city wall of the roman colony that was here before Barcelona was Barcelona.
Everyone should have the coque with cod here at least one time before they die. It was fantastic. Also on the must-​order list is the mel i mato – a traditional catalan dessert consisting of very fresh goat cheese (mato) with walnuts, pine nuts, and honey (mel). In addition to being delicious, it is also fun to say. «mellymatto!»

We are here on vacation from SF and found this gem by accident. Not knowing much about Catalan cuisine, the waiter was quite helpful with recommendations for my wife and me. We started with a spinach salad with walnuts and mushrooms in a mustard based dressing. That was followed by tomato, olive oil, and bread, as well as a huge serving of jamon (Spanish cured ham). Both were incredible individually and in combination. This was concluded with the main dish of coques de recapte, which is something like a Catalan pizza. There were so many choices for this, that the waiter mercifully allowed us to split it and choose two different kinds — one traditional and one contemporary combination. The contemporary combo consisted of arugula, walnuts, and Camembert cheese. The traditional choice was a combination of sausage (butifarra), red pepper, onion, and aubergine. Both were fantastic. The waiter also suggested a variety of local wines that would pair well. We chose a red that made the entire meal spectacular. All of this for what would have been a lot more back in the States! We definitely recommend this place for a special night out.

Du charme
L’endroit est petit et intimiste. Les plats sont variés, on y mange de délicieuses viandes et à moins de 20 € le menu ça reste très raisonnable…

Romantique & Bön
Un resto très sympa en plein quartier gothique. Les plats sont typiquement catalans. C’est frais, original et pas cher. Plats et vins sont très bon. La déco est sobre, c’est un endroit romantique avec peu de lumières et des bougies. Le service est accueillant, un peu débordé mais assuré ! Il y a souvent de l’attente, né pas hésiter à réserver…

Très romantique
Un endroit romantique, très petit. On y mange beaucoup de spécialités de salade avec des fromages artisanaux pour moins de 20 euros. Les réservations sont conseillées.
