El Boliche del Gordo Cabrera | Barcelona: one of the best mediterranean restaurant in Barcelona

Tucked along Carrer del Consell de Cent in Eixample, El Boliche del Gordo Cabrera brings a taste of Uruguayan parrilla to Barcelona. With a solid 4.4 rating from almost 1,900 Google reviews, it sits in the special occasion price band while welcoming guests for both lunch and dinner. Inside, you will find a cozy room filled with character and served by an attentive team—including staff like Manjit, who has been known to warmly guide curious diners right into the kitchen for a quick photo with their T-bone steak before it hits the fire.

The kitchen delivers an expansive menu focused heavily on meat options. Meals can begin with a tender, tangy lengua a la vinagreta and a crisp, refreshing salad before moving on to comforting classics like milanesa a la napolitana. Steaks are central here; those seeking a single, satisfying plate can opt for a steak plato único, praised by visitors for its solid price-to-quality ratio.

It suits meat lovers, group meals, and anyone craving robust Uruguayan flavors. A word of caution regarding the drinks menu, however: a past visitor reported confusion over two different wine lists, where a bottle expected at €16–17 was billed at €25, bringing the total check to around €40 per person. Keeping a quick eye on the menu details ensures you can focus entirely on the hospitality and the grill at Carrer del Consell de Cent, 338.
