About La Tradition
The Story
La Tradition is a French bistro in L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, set among the residential blocks of Barcelona's Eixample district. It's a sit-down spot serving both lunch and dinner, with reservations accepted.
The Cuisine
The cooking is classic French in the bistro mould, the unfussy, comfort-driven style of French cooking rather than fine dining. Expect the kind of menu French bistros are built on, paired with wine, plus coffee and dessert.

The kitchen focuses on the traditional French bistro repertoire, the slow-cooked, sauce-forward classics the format is known for. It's a straightforward bistro setup rather than a tasting-menu operation.
