The Menu

What's up on the chalkboard today is what's on. More or less what's always on.

Before noon

Esmorzar de forquilla — Fork Breakfast

The Catalan knife-and-fork breakfast. Served from opening, and the counter's most-requested order.

— signature dish —

Cap i pota

Slow-braised veal head and trotter stew. The dish that gave Gelida its name.

≈ €5
TripaCatalan-style tripe stew, gently spiced
FricandóBraised veal with wild mushrooms, an old family recipe
Botifarra amb mongetesGrilled pork sausage with white beans
BacallàSalt cod, prepared however the day calls for
House omelettesPotato, chorizo, asparagus…

Wine is still served the old way: from a porró, a spouted pitcher meant for sharing without staining the tablecloth. Ask for the house wine.
