Gastronomy is one of the key aspects of Barcelona’s lifestyle, leisure and culture. We offer five unique gastronomic options located in the city’s most emblematic areas. To enjoy the flavor of tradition and the Catalan gastronomy, what could be better that a Modernism space from 1920, that preserves all the charm and original decoration, like El Gran Café. If you want to enjoy a more modern atmosphere, with a cuisine with international touches, in a restaurant full of locals, Bimba’s is your best option; on top of that you will be able to enjoy the fantastic Mediterranean weather in its terrace. Fall in love with a wide selection and variety of very upscale tapas in the heart of the city center; in Paseo de Gracia, the most glamorous avenue of the city, you will find Tenorio, and just around the corner from Plaça Catalunya, La Tramoia with a renovated decoration that will impress you. For a more sophisticated dinner in a very chic and European ambiance, Chéri is our best option; Mediterranean cuisine with French touches, and a DJ playing on Friday and Saturday nights. The product is the most important aspect of all our restaurants, and it is the main character of our gastronomy.
Discover the details of the different restaurants and their type of cuisine in these MENUS.

Thematic routes by Barcelona
With our themed trails you can trace the evolution of the city, from the time when it was a Roman colony to its present-day modern character, without overlooking the imprints left on the city by some of the foremost geniuses from the world of art and culture.
The style emerged in all its glory at the end of the 19th century to reveal itself in hundreds of extremely beautiful buildings which line the way.
The Gaudí landmarks in Barcelona give a greater understanding of one of the most famous architects who ever worked in the city.
Barcelona is known throughout the world for its architecture. This is why the city didn’t want to fall behind in the race to have some of the world’s finest contemporary buildings.
Barcino, the Roman city founded in the 1st century BC, has left us a valuable legacy, which can be found in the Gothic Quarter, the site of the early walled city.
Wine tourism experiences.
The most traditional cuisine is based on poultry, presided over by Muscovy duck and Penedesenca chicken. Restaurants menus usually include fine poultry dishes along with other seasonal recipes, such as Xató, a salad of curly endive, cod, anchovies and olives with a special sauce, also typical of the districts of the Baix Penedès and the Garraf.
Typical, too, of the Baix Penedès district are Coques enramades, a kind of flatbread decorated with vegetable produce from the land of the Penedès, and meat or fish.
Not to be missed are the traditional patisserie offerings, starting with the sweet Coques (flatbreads) of Vilafranca, the Gelidencs (small sponge cakes with burnt cream) of Gelida, the Coques de les Vidues (“Widows’ flatbreads) and Noiets (meringue cakes covered in chocolate) of Sant Sadurní and the Carquinyolis (almond biscotti) of Sant Quintí or of Torrelles de Foix, the Bufats (almond pastries) of the Baix Penedès, the Orelletes (crispy, thin ear-shaped flatbreads) and other specialities accredited by different bakeries, as well as the specific offerings of the master chocolatiers.
One of the most outstanding visits in the area is the wineries Torres. For over 130 years Miguel Torres has been recognised as one of the world leaders in the production and export of quality brandies and wines. Set in the heart of the Penedes hills surrounded by vineyards the expert Torres guide will take you on a tour of the underground ageing cellars containing thousands of oak barrels, travel by train around the vineyard and visit the modern wine making facilities. As you walk among barrels and smell the wine your guide will explain some of the secrets of making fine wines here at Torres.
It is also recommended the visit to Codorníu Cava.
The Codorníu will take you through the huge underground cellars, the beautiful gardens and the stunning buildings designed by the Art Nouveau architect Puig and Cadafalch. You will learn about the history and production of their famous sparkling white wines. It was here in 1872 that the sparkling wine known as Cava was first born.
