Culleretes!

Can Culleretes was a success story from the day the first owner began to serve meals. She was the doorkeeper of a nearby convent, outside the walls, close to Plaça de Sant Jaume. This lady began to serve her drinks and meals through a window. She produced a home-made mató, a kind of cottage cheese, that was said to be delicious. It was a resounding success: she left the her position at the convent to open a restaurant in Carrer d’en Quintana. There are many stories about where the name originated: some people say it comes from the fact that it was the first place to use metal spoons, but others claim it was the cry of the waiter continually shouting for spoons to serve the ten diners who just fit inside the restaurant.

Cannelloni and home-made desserts

The restaurant still preserves some tiles from the late eighteenth century and is today an establishment recognised for the excellence of its dishes such as cannelloni and home-made desserts.
