Asador de Aranda – Pau Claris

The 'lechazo' (that is, the very young lamb that is still suckling) slowly roasted in a clay oven is the star dish of this restaurant, one of the most recognized chains in traditional Spanish cuisine. This lamb is halal certified, and therefore, Asador de Aranda is a very famous restaurant among Arabs -especially Saudis- who reside in or visit Spain. So much so, that it opened branches in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, and even Manila. If you like lamb, don't miss it. Other meats are not halal. The chain has three restaurants in Barcelona. The one located in Pau Claris is the most central, close to Plaza Catalunya.
