I went to the Dalt de Tot to sample the food. On the night I visited with friends, we tried a number of plates to get a sense of the food and variety. For starters, we ordered an "ensaladilla rusa" and "pimientos de padrón". Both were superb: the pimientos more so because they were freshly prepared, warm, and sprinkled with abundant sea salt. The "ensaladilla," a potato salad with tuna and other veggies, was also fresh with the right amount of mayo and accompanied by "bastones", small breadsticks typically served with this salad.
We then ordered an "amanida de bacallà" (codfish salad) and "secreto ibérico". The "Amanida" is a superb staple salad in the cuisine of Catalunya. This version had lots of cod with a superb combination of vegetables, onions, potatoes. The dish was excellent! The "secreto ibérico" was a surprise indeed. The 'secreto' is a small, thin cut of meat that is hard to locate on the prized Iberian pigs, raised free range and acorn fed by Spanish farmers. The cut comes from between the shoulder blade and the loin and is famed for its marbling and no other cut displays this more deliciously than the 'secreto'. The dish was simple and uncomplicated, served with some greens. The meat was succulent and tasty. No need for sauce or gravy. 
Finally, we ordered several desserts. I opt for the Brownie with vanilla ice cream. The ice cream was sprinkled with cinnamon. Simple, classic, and uncomplicated. Exactly what was needed at the conclusion of a fine meal with friends.The Dalt de Tot is a superb location to chill and relax. It is not far from the Plaça Molina and within walking distance of the Plaça Lesseps. It is worth the visit! Enjoy.
