It's currently all the rage for Barna's top chefs to set up more affordable offshoots, and this one is under the guiding hand of Carles Gaig. The Fonda Gaig schtick, like that at Petit Comité, is a return to grandmotherly Catalan basics, and the favourite dish here is the canelons - hearty, steaming tubes of pasta filled with shredded beef and topped with a fragrant béchamel. The various dining rooms manage to be both modern and wonderfully comfortable, with red leather armchairs, careful soundproofing and mellow lighting.
