OLEUM

The majestic stairs of the MNAC building overlooking Plaça Espanya make it the perfect spot for a photo op, but Catalan art manages to tempt relatively few visitors to visit the museum itself. Offering something to eat, however, has worked wonders, and Oleum is now one of the museum’s main draws. With no plastic trays or self-service in sight, this is no ordinary museum eatery, but a full-service restaurant set in a spectacular dining room (make sure to explore the rest of the impressive interiors of the museum, too), with wonderful views as well as great food for a lunch date to remember. At night it’s only open for private functions.
