Vintage bistro comfort in the heart of Horta
If you find yourself in Horta and want a spot that feels like it's been there forever — in the best way — Monty's is it. The vibe is vintage bistro, with cozy little corners (they call them "raconets") that make you want to settle in with a coffee and not leave. They serve esmorzars de forquilla (fork breakfasts), menús del día, tapes, and homemade rebosteria — all described as "fet com a casa i servit amb amor" (made like at home and served with love), and honestly, it lives up to the slogan.
The menú del día is the main event: €15.90 gets you a first course, second course, dessert, and drink. Recent examples include tender pork cheeks (galtas de cerdo) — the kind of slow-cooked Catalan comfort food that makes you understand why this place has a 4.6 rating across 257+ reviews. The menu changes daily, which keeps regulars coming back.
It's not a destination restaurant — it's a neighborhood café done right. If you're exploring Horta or just want a genuinely local breakfast or lunch away from the tourist trail, this is your spot. The vintage decor, the reasonable prices, and the home-style cooking make it the kind of place you wish was on your corner.
