El Nacional in Barcelona's Eixample District

Rillete de bacalao y ostra

This is a rather impressively decorated collection of restaurants that I was turned away from once because of how packed it was (24 Bis Passeig de GrĂ cia, 935-18-5053). But there were a few seats open at the oyster bar in the back this afternoon, so I pulled up a chair and got a few Galician oysters that were nicely briny and mineral-y. I also got that serving of bacalao rilletes above, which turned out to be very mild but refreshing. I should try one of the proper restaurants in here someday, but there were some very long lines flowing out of them.
