8/10We have been to that restaurant before and we came with some friends this time. The service was excellent as always, but some new food we tried disappointed us a bit, the mille feuilles was not a real mille feuilles but rather two pieces of puff pastry with whipped cream, not even a creme patisserie. Also, we ordered a salad with greens and feta and it came without greens and with goat cheese.

9.5/10So far the best restaurant I visited in Barcelona. Warm welcoming waiter, homey ambient and excellent Catalan cuisine with a reasonable price. No reason not to come here again.

10/10Had a lovely dining experience here served by Quim. He was very helpful with the menu and gave good recommendations. We shared starters of Mushroom & Sausage as well battered and deep fried Calcots with sauce along with typical tomato bread. I had the Hake Stew which had a very tasty sauce with peas, my husband had the House Steak Tartar which he enjoyed. I finished with the Mille-feuille with chocolate sauce and my husband the lemon icecream. Everything was well presented and delicious even the sangria and coffees. Would definitely recommend and be returning to try some other choices. Thank you all so much.

10/10A cozy place with the atmosphere of the old times. The steak tartare accompanied by a glass of cava was superb. The staff very attentive. Undoubtedly a place to come back.

9/10Nice little restaurant, about a 15 min. walk from the Sagrada Familia, but outside the touristy area (and, therefore, not a tourist-trap). The cooking was pretty good, the quantity was correct, and the price was correct. I got a warm welcome even though I don't speak Spanish. I'd be happy to go back there again.

4/1050% on everything should mean 50% on EVERYTHING, if I then go there, ask for some meat dishes and they tell me: I am sorry, but meat is expensive, we cannot give you discount, but you can take soup or salads..... I was celebrating with my fiance and this restaurant left a bad taste in our minds, except the salad, which was really good, but come on.... Don´t go out for dinner if I can expect a proper salad and what else?! It was OK, not more, not less

About this restaurant
El Chato es el restaurante vasco más antiguo de Barcelona. Dirigido por Agustín Elorza (hijo del fundador), este acogedor rincón ofrece una excelente muestra de cocina vasca. Con una amplia trayectoria (empezó siendo lugar de encuentro de los transportistas), su carta ha cambiado más bien poco en los casi 80 años que lleva abierto (buena señal). Platos tradicionales vascos de calidad, bien presentados y acompañados de txacoli, vino o cerveza. Aquí se viene a disfrutar de un buen bacalao al pil pil (el de siempre), de unas alubias rojas de Tolosa, de una merluza a la vasca, de las mejores anchoas del Cantábrico y, por supuesto, de su famoso steak tartar. Y si eres de los que te reservas un hueco para el final, disfrutarás de lo lindo con sus helados caseros. En definitiva, cocina honesta y con carisma. Si no sabes por qué decidirte, pide el steak tartar con trufa, la tapa de morcilla de Burgos y el bacalao al pil pil y acertarás seguro.
