Eli Besicht Petra Restaurant

In the heart of El Born  there is a unique restaurant called Petra. The food is delicious, the prices are really convenient and the amosphere is unique.
We went with some friends last Saturday. 

It was 8:30 pm and there wasn't anybody there. We went into the local and we asked for a free table. 'All reserved'- said the nice nice owner.  'We were waiting for the miracle'- I answered. We all laughed sadly and left Petra. We ended eating in Tasca i vins... Ok, but imcomparable.

I knew that all the tables were booked. It's really difficult to find a place there if you don't make a reservation. so don't try, because you will be left disappointed. 

Anyway, we had time enough to take  a look inside: glass and lead panelling, cute lights, walls covered with small, coloured tiles,  old, wooden chairs,  mirrors, antique furniture and modernist style elements.

The firts time I had dinner there I liked the unpretensious food, but served delicatelly, really tasty, and with a touch of creativity; the funny, decorative elements and the extraordinary service.

Sam and Joan, the owners of Petra, are doing an extraordinary job there without charging the customer  with an exorbitant amount. 
You can have a salad for 5 €, or a main course for 7-8 €.

I reccomend you to try different dishes and don't forget about the desserts.
