Oleum

Located inside the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya – a mightily impressive palace on a hill – there aren’t many restaurants with better surroundings than Oleum. You’ll find it on the first floor of the museum, in what was once the palace’s throne room – a large, airy space fronted by a large floor-to-ceiling window that offer spectacular views of the cityscape below.

Quality wise and the restaurant’s menu has been designed by Fina Puigdevall, a celebrated Catalan chef whose Les Cols del Olot restaurant has garnered two Michelin stars. Order a plate of Oleum’s mouthwatering scallops, and peruse their specialist vermouth for something to wash them down with, from one of their coveted tables by the window.

Do note, that Oleum is only open for lunch (not dinner), but given its location it’s the perfect place to take a break while visiting the many treasures of Montjuic (home to the the romantic Magic Fountain attraction amongst others!).
