PLA Restaurant

PLA

Good food and good atmosphere


	The PLA opened up in February 1998 in response to the need to find a good place to go and have dinner. In the Gothic quarter of Barcelona in a hidden but eassy-to-find side street and an ambience lit by candle light plus music to fit every occasion. Warm, intimate, cosy, it offers cuisine inspired in the Mediterranean but without leaving out influences from other cultures. A young and carefree service and an innovative cuisine where, salads, meats, fish and vegetarian options make up a constantly changing menu thus making it difficult for you to choose your favourite dish. WELLCOME!
	Jaume Pla









	The kitchen is a very difficult Art, you need a vocation, a sense of continuous observation, long experience and patience, as Josep Pla said.
