    Arrosseria Xàtiva

    Citorah says Two branches, both run by Grup Xàtiva, both better than anything you'll find on La Rambla with a laminated photo menu.

    Wrong for Solo travellers (you can't order most of the menu for one), wrong if you've got a 9pm Sagrada Família slot (each pan is cooked to order, 25-40 minutes minimum), and wrong if €40-a-head feels steep.
