Pompa is Carles Pérez de Rozas’ latest move in Barcelona – a smaller, more wine-driven space that feels personal, deliberate and slightly rebellious. Set in one of the city’s most central neighbourhoods, Pompa is the project of a chef who has travelled far before returning home. Pérez de Rozas trained at Hofmann in Barcelona and then worked in some of the world’s most demanding kitchens: with Seiji Yamamoto in Tokyo, at Central in Lima alongside Virgilio Martínez, and at Michel Bras in Laguiole. That background doesn’t show off, it shows control – precision without stiffness. Here, wine clea...

I don’t think I’m mistaken in saying that Joan Junyent, co-owner of Windsor, is one of the finest front-of-house professionals in Spain. His elegance, empathy, sense of occasion, and ability to truly understand and care for guests are expressed with exceptional finesse. Windsor is a classical restaurant, housed in a noble building in Barcelona’s Eixample, which opened in 1996 with the ambition of being a true grand restaurant. Round tables, a beautiful and generous dining room, and a charming interior terrace define a space of great serenity and distinction. Despite the beauty of the setting...

Compartir Barcelona opened its doors in June 2022 under the direction of Nil Dulcet. Behind its doors: Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casañas, three chefs who spent a total of 15 years at elBulli, part of the most influential cuisine of the 20th century. Its name is a nod to its older brother Compartir Cadaqués, which is a benchmark restaurant in the province of Girona. The offer is totally in line with its name: a place to order dishes and share them with all the people at the table. They have 200 wine references, but they change them constantly as they like to work with small-scale...

Granja Elena is one of those places you can't get enough of. It is located in a popular neighbourhood (that happens to be where I was raised). They have been open since 1974, therefore it is a spot that has seen different generations come and go. It's a modest place, just recently renovated, but only with the intention of updating the space a bit and offering some more tables. The decoration is simple; the essence is on the plate. Two siblings are now in command: Borja in the kitchen and Patricia in the dining room, but behind there is a joint family effort. Authentic delicacies reside in it...

In the heart of the Eixample, Rafa Peña leads this authentic project, with exceptional produce and a natural wine list like no other in Barcelona. This bar stands out! The open kitchen allows you to see everything that is cooking. If you prefer, they also have a more formal area – the restaurant next door (which is connected and shares the open kitchen). The food at Gresca is extremely savoury and authentic – high-end cuisine without being pretentious. A selection of Iberian ham and Comté, as well as veal sweetbreads with mashed potatoes and mustard, are a must. If you still have room for des...

Maitea is one of those places with its own and unmistakable personality. It's a Basque family tavern in the Eixample of Barcelona, open since 1998 and a classic in town. Nico Montaner is always at the forefront, and his personal touch makes all the difference. The food menu consists of fresh products arriving every week from northern Spain: txistorras (spicy sausages) from Arbizu, cheeses from Uitzi, chilli peppers from Ibarra, vegetables from Navarra, peppers from Lodosa, black pudding from Beasain, baby lamb chops from Burgos, pork sausage from Cal Rovira, and much more. They also offer...

Mont Bar is a top bar-restaurant that opened in March 2013. It has been one of Barcelona’s benchmarks for a decade, and always offers products of the highest quality. The name of the restaurant, Mont Bar, comes from the name of the small mountain Mont in Vielha, where Iván Castro has part of his hotel-dedicated family. Ivan's original idea was to choose that place because he wanted the products that were produced on the Mont farm to form part of the Mont Bar selection, pure romanticism. Currently they work with more than 250 references. It is impossible to get bored, and they even change th...

International Best Medium-Sized List of the Year, presented by Dreissigacker 2025
Of the wave of exquisite places that have opened in Barcelona, Suru is one of the most recent. It opened in December 2022 and with a very special name. In Catalan, “suro” means cork. In Japanese, it is a conjugation of the verb “to make”, but it also has a sensual connotation if used without conjugation. They have about 100 references on the menu, but as they love dynamic menus, they try to change many of them on a weekly basis. They love tasting the wines they have available to see how they are evolving and thus having a complete mastery of everything they store in the cellar. This way of w...

Torpedo opened its doors in December 2018. While its name carries several funny connotations for its creators, for the moment they’re letting us play with our inventiveness and come to our own explosive conclusions. Although they have almost always 75 references available, two or three change every week and their idea is to always have a short but dynamic menu. They decided not to introduce too many references in order to rotate a little more, and thus make every visit more entertaining. The menu has two different parts: the first one where we find wines that are closer to us because of thei...

Address: Carrer de les Guilleries, 10, Barcelona
In a charming street in Gràcia, Carrer Guilleries, there is a charming wine temple which opened its doors in 2008. Small, with very careful attention to detail and totally white décor, it invites us to enter through the door because to ‘discover’ is its motto. Its name leaves no room for doubt: ‘vi’ is ‘wine’ in Catalan, and they play with the concept of a library, which is the translation of ‘biblioteca.’ It is a place where wine and cheeses are kept in order and classified, just as in a library. Instead of having books, however, we are lucky enough to be able to enjoy authentic offerings of...
