Braseria La Bolera

This is THE place for exquisite, unpretentious and authentic Catalan food. Everything prepared in-house, large portions and very reasonable prices. If you happen to be around during calçot season (November to March, or slightly later some years) it is well worth ordering a plate of these to share. Without getting invited to an outdoor calçotada, this is the nearest thing to the sublime flavor of grilled giant onions that is easily accessible to the curious traveler. It is something of an obsession in Catalonia. Flame-roasted giant green onions with romesco sauce is heaven on a plate. The pa amb tomat is obligatory, the butifara with ganxets de rigur, and anything which is typical of authentic Catalan cuisine is well represented. The celerity of service is beyond belief, with waiters and waitresses swiftly delivering dishes at exactly the right moment, everything is so well coordinated by radio and dispatch, and bolsters the tradition of Catalan efficiency, something which is often lacking in the rest of Spain. Easily the best service I have ever experienced. I frequently eat at Michelin starred restaurants, and more than once I have gone to a pub afterwards to actually get some food. This place is the real deal, and one of the best places to eat in all of Catalonia in terms of authenticity and lack of pretensions. Highly recommended.

Authentic rustic brasserie in the heart of Sant Cugat. Classic catalan cuisine including the famous "calsots" (spring onions with romesco sauce), several meats all of them nicely roasted, typical local starters like the favourite "esqueixada" (raw cod with red peppers) and amazing home made desserts. Pretty cozy atmosphere including wooden furniture, warm light and a fireplace.

I have eaten the most incredible gazpacho of my life here. It was superb.
The meat was also incredible.
Awesome place, but have in mind that you must make a reservation since it's always booked. Genuine Catalan cuisine. Incredible.

This place never disappoints. We come here every time we get a chance with my family of 7. Make reservations ahead of time when possible, specially on weekends

Really good regional Cataluña food, grilled aubergine & artichoke are amazing so simple but so well done. Need to book at weekends they have 2 sittings for lunch and the queues are unbelievable even with bookings. Highly recommended for local good quality cuisine.

Amazing traditional catalan food. A staple in Sant Cugat. Make reservation.

Excellent and very good price.
Great meat and vegetable prepared on BBQ.
Highly reccomendet.

Such a great meal. Used to be a bowling ally before 1984 when they turned this in this awesome restaurant

Unbelievable food. The best sirloin steak I have ever had!!

Hi, I'm Catalan, but I write in English as maybe this review can reach more people. I suggest everybody who enjoys grilled food to come to La Bolera. I know La Bolera since I was little kid and for me is the best restaurant specialized in grilled food, out of many others in which I have eaten, both in Sant Cugat and surroundings and in the rest of Catalonia. The taste of their food is unique. They have a broad menu, including different local vegetables and meats (beef, chicken, lamb, etc). Apart from that it counts with a very dedicated and kind team of professionals lead by the family who founded the restaurant. I have always felt at home here. While I'm writing this review I'm enjoying their delicious grilled artichokes :)

The goto place in Sant Cugat for catalan cuisine. Reservations highly recommended as the place gets crowded almost all days.

Amazing must try just check the fotos of how nice is the food and decoration.. super traditional and good prices

A little too noisy, otherwise all good, great catalan food as always.

Some music missing and also some items from menu - other than that - was excellent

Nice location and good food. The meat is amazing!

Very very good quality, prepared in the moment, over a genuine fire grill. The beef and lamb fantastic. The salad, fresh crispy and you notice the flavors of every ingredient! You pay for quality but the cost is not excessive. 20-25€ a head and you eat well. Add another 20€ if you take a bottle of wine.

Awesome food. Service was very good too, but in the beginning, with just us in the restaurant, we felt ignored for a while.

Really a nice place. I asked for a rare cooked beef steak and it was perfect. Really good! Moreover, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food.

Great House wine and calçots. Grilled short ribs were ok, awesome grilled sausages and superb service. Very good value for money.

Wonderful restaurant in St Cugat near to the downtown!!
