Background
About La Moreneta
The Story
La Moreneta is a small, family-run restaurant on Carrer de Cartagena, a few blocks from the Sagrada Família. The kitchen focuses on seafood cooked to order and a traditional tapas selection, and the dining room keeps the scale and feel of a neighbourhood bar-restaurant.
The Cuisine
The menu centres on Spanish seafood and Mediterranean cooking. The carta includes Galician-leaning shellfish such as Galician oysters, razor clams, langoustines and plancha-grilled prawns, alongside plancha and santurze preparations of hake and monkfish. A longer list of traditional tapas and cold starters runs from jamón ibérico pan con tomate and cecina to ensaladilla rusa, pulpo a feira and pimientos del padrón, with meat dishes such as entrecot and solomillo de ternera.
