Casa Batlló is the wrong stop for food & drink.
The house is at its best in the details that photographs flatten: window frames made to fit a hand, tiles that darken as the stairwell rises, doors punctured with rippling glass. The route is tightly managed and the digital effects sometimes compete with Gaudí rather than explain him. Still, the building has enough wit and craft to outlast the production around it. Go early so the rooms feel like rooms, not a queue.
