If you eat out in Barcelona regularly, there's a name you've probably already come across: Grupo San Telmo. Five restaurants spread across four neighborhoods of the city, each with its own personality, but all sharing something in common: menús del día worth trying.
Grupo San Telmo is an Appetece partner — which means all five restaurants publish their updated menú del día on the platform every morning. No need to check Instagram or call to ask: open Appetece and see what's on today at each one.
From the modern Mediterranean cooking at San Telmo to the tablecloth-service menus at Casa Telmo, by way of the traditional Catalan cooking at Cafè de L'Acadèmia. All updated, every day.
The group's 5 restaurants
San Telmo — Eixample
The group's flagship. Mediterranean cooking in a modern tavern with wide windows and an elegant bar. The menú del día includes a starter, a main, dessert and a drink.
The quality of the dishes is high for the price. The milanesa is a classic they keep on the menu for a reason — it's always spot on. If you work around Buenos Aires or Diagonal, this is one of the most reliable options for eating here every day.

Casa Telmo — Sarrià
The most elegant restaurant in the group. The "tablecloth menu" is the premium option: cloth tablecloths, attentive service and dishes with real gastronomic ambition. If you've got a work lunch or fancy treating yourself on a Friday, Casa Telmo is the choice.
The cooking goes a step further than at the group's other venues. Here the dishes have more careful presentation and combinations you'd expect more from an à la carte restaurant than a menú del día.

Cafè de L'Acadèmia — Gothic Quarter
A hidden gem in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, just steps from Plaça Sant Jaume. Traditional Catalan cooking with market produce. Possibly the best-value menú del día in the group.
The "chocolate with bread, oil and salt" dessert is a must. Catalan cooking with no shortcuts, the kind of spoon dishes that only come out right after years of practice.

El Canalla — Sarrià
The most casual spot in the group. Neighborhood feel, quick service and a dish-of-the-day-plus-side format. Ideal for people working around Sarrià who want to eat well without any fuss.
It's a straightforward menu, no frills. You come in, eat well, head back to the office. The Iberian milanesa is the star.

Bistró Mató — Les Corts
The most gastronomic restaurant in the group. The dishes are elaborate, the presentation careful and the combinations bold. If you're after a menú del día that feels like a tasting menu, Bistró Mató is the place.
Thursdays usually bring a dry rice dish — don't miss it if you're in the area. The quality is clearly above what you'd expect from a menú del día.
