Can Recommend the Can Joan Restaurant in Horta St Juan, good quality Catalan style food Friendly welcome good service and reasonable, 10 euro for menu del dia 4 courses and wine included.

Directions from Prat de Compte head for Arnes then turn right to Horta de St Juan as you climb the hill into Horta the Can Joan Restaurant is on your right.

Shame the Picasso Museum wasn't Open!!

Has anyone ever managed to get into the museum?

Yes, I have been to the Picasso museum twice and found it very interesting! There is a web site that translates to English, I can't remember the address but google Picasso museum Horta de Sant Joan and you should find it!

Been to Can Joan today and would like to endorse Hazlenut's recommendation. The menu still costs 10€ (inc. VAT) and for that you get  a house salad, then starter, main course,  dessert, bread and wine or water. There are several choices for each course and the atmosphere is friendly and the service very good. We enjoyed our meal there very much.

I'm pretty sure the museum opens up again in the afternoon, probably same time that the shops, 5pm?  Although all the paintings are (very good) copies it is good to see all the paintings and sketches that Picasso created here in Horta.

Been there may 19th. Nice atmosphere and friendly people indeed but there the positive experience ends. The house salade was really basic (salad, tomato, unions and olives) and exactly the same as the salad I had for a starter(!). My friend had beans for a starter wich where just that: a plate of cooked beans with nothing nothing added at all. The main courses (pork and fisch) where not hot, not tasty and all covered with a huge amount of tomato-sauce. The deserts where not home-made and  the wine was of poor quality. One of the worst menu del dias in a long time Cry.
