Petit Comitè

Passatge de la concepció 13, Barcelona

http://www.petitcomite.cat/

This is a fashion restaurant of Fermí Puig, a very well reputed chef. The service is outstanding, the prices are very clear (no surprises, you can even check the prices outside in the street), they have a fully catalan wine selection (including some wine from the Països Catalans), they offer very interesting traditional dishes, and the raw materials are really high quality. Taking into account these facts, it offers a reasonable quality/price ratio (49 eur per person in my case).
Nevertheless, this place reminds me some other cheaper restaurants in Barcelona such as Madrid Barcelona and Senyor Parellada, already commented in this blog. Although the quality of Petit Comitè is higher, we should consider that it is also around two times more expensive than these other places.
The salad was quite ridiculous (11 eur for some lettuce leaves, 4 olives , 4 small pieces of tomato and a minor amount of onion from Figueres).
The “croquetes” were outstanding, really home-made, but 7 eur for four very small “croquetes” is a shame.
The quantity of the main dish is reasonable and at the end you won’t feel hungry. Nevertheless, although the rice contained a really high quality prawns, the rice was too much salted (I had to drink water several times during night), and there was also an excess of pepper. In my case this amount of pepper is not a problem, but I am pretty sure that most of the people won’t feel comfortable with it.
My conclusion: it is interesting to know this place, but it is not among my favorite ones.
