Ferran Centelles' 19 wine bar favourites in Barcelona 2026

La Teca de Vila Viniteca

Phone: +34 933 10 19 56

Address: Carrer dels Agullers, 9, Barcelona

Can you imagine a small bar where you have access to 5,000 wine references – yes, 5,000 – and more than 350 types of cheese? It sounds impossible, but it isn’t. This dreamlike place is called La Teca, by Vila Viniteca, located in the heart of the trendy Born district in Barcelona. And this “miracle” exists for a very simple reason: La Teca is located right next door to the Vila Viniteca shop; both the bar and the store are owned by Vila Viniteca, Spain’s leading fine-wine distributor. In practice, this means you can walk into the shop next door, choose any bottle from their astonishing catal...

Bocanariz

Phone: +34 620 58 13 06

Address: Carrer de Vallfogona, 12, Barcelona

Bocanariz is a small, delicate wine bar located in the lively Gràcia neighbourhood of Barcelona – one of the city’s most historic districts, known for its plazas, constant energy, and strong gastronomic culture. Opened in 2020 by Cristian Viera and Paula Matthews, Bocanariz is a genuinely gastronomic space built around what in Spain we often call a gastrobar concept: carefully thought-out, well-executed food served in a relaxed, informal setting. Dishes that have already become house classics include the citrus-cured scallop and the tuna toast, both clear expressions of this balance between p...

Bodega Solera

Phone: +34 937 96 97 33

Address: Carrer de Còrsega, 339, Barcelona

Bodega Solera is about pleasure; about drinking great wines in a relaxed, informal setting, guided by the passionate recommendations of sommelier Guillermo Leal. Opened in 2024, it is a very welcome addition to Barcelona’s wine scene: colourful, lively, full of music and energy, and located in one of the city’s most vibrant areas, already rich in excellent restaurants. The food is traditional, but executed with real care. This is a casual place, yes, but never a trivial one. The cheese selection is outstanding, the charcuterie carefully sourced, always prioritising authentic, top-quality prod...

Garage Bar

Phone: +34 930 15 27 99

Address: Carrer de Calàbria, 75, Barcelona

Alejandra Delfino, from Argentina, and Stefano Fraternali, from Emilia-Romagna, are part of the living history of natural wine in Barcelona. Garage is far more than a natural wine bar. Let me explain. This dark, intimate, and deeply authentic wine bar opened in 2018 in the Sant Antoni neighbourhood – an area full of life, evening strolls, and traditional tapas bars. Sant Antoni is an historic, walkable district and an essential stop for anyone who wants to understand the city beyond the obvious routes. Why do I say they are part of wine history? Because in 2016, Alejandra and Stefano were t...

Vertical Barcelona

Phone: +34 931 40 88 06

Address: Carrer del Rosselló, 197, Barcelona

If there is one opening that truly set the pace for Barcelona in 2025, it is Vertical Barcelona. Without hesitation, and without fear of exaggeration, it can be described as one of the finest wine bars in the world. Vertical is not a single venue but a constellation of three projects – in Barcelona, Málaga, and Menorca – all united under the same name and philosophy. The Barcelona space, located in the heart of the Eixample, is a strikingly beautiful wine bar whose identity is defined by an extraordinary feature: a monumental, glass-enclosed wine cellar, genuinely monumental, designed with du...

Sin Mala Uva

Phone: +34 616 62 18 18

Address: Carrer de Provença, 369, Barcelona

Best Short List Spain, presented by D.O. Navarra 2026

Sin Mala Uva is a wine bar that opened its doors in early 2024, led by the young yet experienced Noelia Bello (sommelier) and Sandra Lozano (enologist and sommelier). It takes the form of a small, charming wine bar with an enviable location in Barcelona's Eixample district. The selection is concise yet meticulously curated, featuring both classic references and offerings from small-scale producers, without placing special emphasis on natural wines. It's a wine bar with a delightfully simple culinary offering, dominated by cold dishes: charcuterie, cheeses, sandwiches, and other light fare th...

Bar Brutal

Phone: +34 933 19 98 81

Address: Carrer de la Princesa, 14, Barcelona

The Can Cisa wine store on Calle Princesa opened as a family business in 1949. At the end of 2013, it passed into the hands of Max and Stefano Colombo, Joan Valencia and Joan Ramón Escoda, who converted the venue into what we now know as Bar Brutal. They have a very large and also well-trained staff; all of them wine connoisseurs. You might be attended by Víctor and David from Barcelona, but also Ben from Tel-Aviv, Valerio and Antonella from Italy, Elissa from Montreals, Dave from England or Carmen from Málaga. The food menu is not very long but defined by great quality. Fresh oysters, mar...

Bar del Pla

Phone: +34 932 68 30 03

Address: Carrer de Montcada, 2, Barcelona

If you go to the Bar del Pla, first make sure you have a reservation and then prepare to enjoy one of the bars with the most history and energy in Barcelona. Located in the Born district, they offer (non-stop) a complete gastronomic experience: first for its quality product and second because you will feel part of the Barcelonian culture thanks to its atmosphere. They have been active for twelve years. Its cuisine is traditional Catalan with some creative hints: pork feet with foie gras, mushrooms with wasabi vinaigrette, beef tartare, squid with onions and croquettes are some of its main di...

In Barcelona's Eixample Dret sector you will find this new generation tavern that is designed as the perfect setting to enjoy the best cuisine in the city. It is decorated with antique touches and a place with an extremely warm atmosphere. The quality of the produce and the food is always impeccable.

Grilled seafood, wild fish, montaditos, scallops – and don't miss their s...

Denassus

Phone: +34 933 87 76 45

Address: Carrer de Blai, 53, Barcelona

Denassus, literally ”be on your nose”, is a Catalan expression referring to something that is “really good”. This wine restaurant/bar launched in August 2019 and is owned and managed by Alejo Mailan and Sergi Ruiz. They both met while studying the sommelier program, but they also worked together at Bar del Pla, a magnificent wine bar in the Born district, and they dreamed about opening their own wine bar. Denassus is a lovely tiny restaurant, with a long bar and high tables. The terrace has a special soul. The venue is located in Poble Sec, a historic neighbourhood that still maintains narro...

L'Ànima del Vi

Phone: +34 933 68 36 12

Address: Carrer dels Vigatans, 8, Barcelona

L’Ànima del Vi opened its doors in 2013 after having closed its wine store in 2006, already specialised in natural wines. This is a charming place in the Born neighbourhood, bistro-style but with a casual touch that makes you feel in a good mood, with small marble tables, often even shared, and a charming atmosphere. Behind the bar and in the dining room, Benoît Valée and Núria Rodríguez make up a welcoming and magical couple. His food menu is very short, presented on a wooden mini-board, but all the dishes that come out of his small kitchen are exquisite. It is impossible not to choose a go...

Phone: +34 934 14 15 22

Address: Carrer de Muntaner, 412, Barcelona

Matos Bar de Vins & Enoteca occupies a classic boutique in the upper part of Barcelona (Sant Gervasi). The restaurant stands out for its careful and elegant decoration and a striking table with capacity for 20 people, ideal for sharing and tasting. They opened their doors in April 2015 intending to complement their activity as an importer and distributor of top wines.

Mont Bar

Phone: +34 933 23 95 90

Address: Carrer de la Diputació, 220, Barcelona

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...

Monocrom

Phone: +34 935 16 73 02

Address: Plaça de Cardona, 4, Barcelona

Monocrom, in the quiet corner of Plaza Cordona, opened in 2016, attempting to get away from the most commercial circuit of wine bars in Barcelona. They intended to open a small spot for the local audience of this refined neighbourhood. The food menu is short but very delicious and savoury. All the products are local and change continuously following the season. Their pasta (macaroni) is a must (don't be deceived by the simplicity of the dish). The sweet and sour veal sweetbreads are also a dish to die for. When you enter, you will find Janina and Xavi, the two siblings that own the place....

Pepa Bar a Vins

Phone: +34 936 11 18 85

Address: Carrer d'Aribau, 41, Barcelona

Pepa Bar a Vins reopened its doors in October 2020 with a very daring team. They work with approximately 140 references: from Catalonia, the rest of Spain, Czech Republic, Italy, France, Australia or Chile just to name some of the origins of their wine list. This menu changes very often, but, to be honest, less often than they would like considering this restless team who spend part of their day trying to make new discoveries. The intention of all their choices is very clear: they choose all those wines that they love and that they would also love to share with their friends and the people th...

Suru

Phone: +34 937 14 73 93

Address: Carrer de Casanova, 134, Barcelona

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

Phone: +34 938 58 37 60

Address: Carrer d'Aribau, 143, local 1, Barcelona

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...

Viblioteca

Phone: +34 932 84 42 02

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...
