Updated for 2026.

Gràcia is my favourite neighbourhood in Barcelona. I lived here for 12 years, and it’s still one of the areas where I spend the most time eating, drinking and discovering new places.

If you’re looking for the best restaurants in Gràcia, this guide brings together my current favourites, from neighbourhood restaurants and tapas bars to wine bars, specialty coffee, bakeries and a few places worth knowing for breakfast or a quick snack.

Gràcia has a very different feel from central Barcelona. Its pedestrian streets, small squares and independent businesses give it a neighbourhood character of its own, even though it’s only a couple of subway stops from the centre.

I’ve personally visited the places included here, and I keep this guide updated as restaurants open, close and change.

BEST RESTAURANTS IN GRÀCIA

Contracorrent Bistro

First opened in Fort Pienc, this talented chef-somm duo has expanded to a second location in Gràcia and we are delighted. Just like in their original location, this spot has also been refurbished and decorated by the couple Nico and Anna. Snatch a seat by the kitchen if you can, it’s extra cozy.

The food here is fantastic, and they offer two tasting menus: a short and a longer one, both incredibly price-worthy. The wines are always top-notch: let Anna guide you with pairings and you won’t be disappointed. Read my review here.

Contracorrent Bistró, Carrer Sant Domènec 14-16.

Berbena

This small but mighty neighborhood restaurant is among my absolute favorite restaurants. With straightforward but sophisticated dishes with very local and seasonal ingredients, an impressive list of wines, and fascinating cheeses it will charm your pants off. It also appears in the Michelin Bib Gourmand guide. Read my review of Berbena here.

Carrer de Minerva, 6.

Fonda Pepa

Fantastic little restaurant combining local flavors with Mexican ones. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Gracia, and in Barcelona. It’s creative, delicious, and comforting. They also have a lunch deal on weekdays. Read my review here.

Carrer de Tordera, 58.

Bar El Pepino

A magnificent restaurant with an Italian flair. Their food is perfect for sharing, and they’ll bring you some true gems when it comes to wines if you ask for it. Read my review of Bar El Pepino here.

Carrer de Tordera, 33.

Lluritu

One of my favorite seafood restaurants, humble but oh so cool. Book a table in the back or stay by the bar for a drink and a snack.

Carrer del Torrent de les Flors, 71. They have a second location in Gràcia, Lluritu 2, close by on Carrer de la Virtut, 11, and a third one in Eixample.

Santa Magdalena

Santa Magdalena is hidden away on a side street, so you most likely won’t stumble on this one by accident. An excellent choice for solid, Catalan food: think tortilla with butifarra de Perol, croquetas de rostit, stews, macarrons, canelons, artichokes with romesco dip, and a whole lot more. The atmosphere is buzzing, make sure to book in advance. They also do esmorzars de forquilla if you're hungry early.

Carrer de Santa Magdalena, 6.

Santa Gula

A charming little restaurant serving seasonal fresh food in a very cosy atmosphere. Great for a date night! They also have a terrace on the plaza outside the restaurant. Read more here.

Plaça de Narcís Oller, 3.

Beryti Bistro

Visiting Beryti is like being welcomed like a guest in the home of Cindy and Pamela, the owners. The Lebanese food here is true comfort food, very authentic, and made with lots of love. Read my review here.

Travessera de Gracia 228.

Tapas and casual places

Tangana

Perfect, delicious tapas are served in this lively bar, and good wines to pair them with. Tangana is a lovely, easy-to-approach kind of place. You can read my review here.

Carrer de la Riera de Sant Miquel, 19.

Oído

The team behind excellent Fonda Pepa (above) has opened the slightly smaller Oído, serving tapas and dishes to share, all with that familiar and delicious touch. Make sure to order the mussels, they come with a wonderful surprise. And book in advance! It’s very popular.

Providencia, 41.

Extra Bar

A tiny little bar with very good seasonal tapas, all with a bit of a twist. Good selection of wines. They don’t take reservations and it fills up fast, so make sure to time your visit!

Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, 79.

Bodega Cal Pep

Go back 50 years or so in time in this tapas bar (not to be confused with Cal Pep in the Born!) where not much has changed lately, which makes it especially charming. Make sure you try the vermouth! Read my post here.

Carrer de Verdi, 141.

La Rovira

Good craft beer (on tap and bottles), tapas and sandwiches at this old-school kind of bar that always attracts a crowd. They have a large terrace, and they serve my favorite vermouth. Full post here.

Carrer de Rabassa, 23.

Bodega Quimet

This old bodega is so charming you’ll never want to leave! It gets very busy at peak times so go early. Read my review here.

Carrer de Vic, 23.

La Vermuteria del Tano

A very old school, humble kind of bar, go here for delicious vermouth and a snack.

Carrer de Joan Blanques, 17.

A very popular hangout serving vegan Mexican food. Their birria tacos are fantastic, and the drinks are also nice. Read my post here.

Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, 64.

There’s something magical about this cozy bar. You come in here, and you will not want to leave. It is fun and inviting any time of the day, and has a certain air of coolness to it, in the best of ways. Read my review here.

Carrer de Banyoles, 11.

L'Arrosseria Xàtiva

One of my favorite places for paella and rice, they have so many to choose from. Good for those with intolerances. It’s also great for larger groups of friends or family gatherings.

La Antigua de Mexico

Go here for quick tacos: they have one changing flavor each day and they’re pretty amazing.

Carrer de Torrijos, 50.

Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, 175.

Wine bars

Pompa

Already before you go inside you feel the exciting vibe. Pompa is a excellent little spot where music from vinyl sets the mood and you can almost hear the food calling out (and you can see it being made if you sit by the bar). With more than 600 wines, vintage plates, and open kitchen views, the food is thrilling and the atmosphere unpretentious yet elevated. It’s the sister establishment of amazing Berbena (above), and one of Gràcia’s most interesting spots.

Carrer de Sèneca 25.

Bocanariz Wine Bar

It might look small from the outside, but this wine bar holds all my favorite things. Excellent wines, delicious tapas, friendly team, and music from a vinyl record player. What more can you ask for? Oh, and they do Orange Hour from 19h to 20h where you get a free tapa with one of their many orange wines. Read my review of Bocanariz here.

Carrer de Vallfogona, 12.

La Graciosa

A wonderful natural wine bar with great atmosphere, and a short but perfect menu with a little something to eat. The patio in the back is cozy.

Carrer de Milà i Fontanals, 88.

A restaurant where cheese is king, as the name implies! Their wine selection is very much on point. Read more here.

Carrer de Guilleries, 10.

Carrer de la Riera de Sant Miquel, 77.

Pimpla Vins

Pimpla Vins is a fun, easygoing bar in Gràcia, offering a large selection of local and natural wines, and a nice range of dishes to share. The vibe here is through the roof! Go early to get a table.

Carrer de l’Encarnació 21.

And More

A charming wine bar with a solid and unique food menu, inspired by Eastern and Northern Europe. They have a very extensive wine list, and the team is friendly.

Carrer de Sant Agustí, 10.

Barra

Love wine? Love good vibes? Then Barra is your place. The team running it is very friendly and upbeat, and the wine options are great. They also have a solid food menu.

Ros de Olano, 4.

Only organic ancient grains are used to bake tasty bread at this eco-conscious bakery. They also serve specialty coffee to go, and they have a little shop with wines, cheeses, and more. Read all about this gem of a place here.

Carrer de Milà i Fontanals, 9.

Coffee and Records by Lonely

Not only is this place very charming, it also serves as a vinyl record shop. And they serve great specialty coffee and fun drinks (including matcha). Ask for their specials.

Travessera de Gràcia 221.

A temple for those who appreciate specialty coffee. They have their own roastery here, and local products to buy and take home with you.

A cosy neighborhood hangout with good breakfast options, snacks, specialty coffee, and a really cute interior. They roast their own coffee. Read more here.

Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, 39.

Matcha Crew

This awesome matcha chain has opened its second spot in Barcelona on Vila de Gràcia. Expect the same tasty matcha drinks (their menu is LONG), and something sweet, too. You can pick the strength and quality of your matcha, and you can buy matcha to make at home.

Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia, 20.

The Madness Coffee Speciality Coffee Shop

If you love coffee, this is the place for you. They have no less than 30 kinds of coffee to choose from, depending on your preferences when it comes to aromas. The owner is the 7th generation in a coffee family.

C/ Vic 25, Local 2.

Miel

Have a sweet tooth? Then Miel is your place. Run by Natalia, a very talented Colombian pastry chef (who originally studied architecture!) and her friend Melissa, Miel brings seasonal local ingredients, spices, and just a hint of American flair. I highly recommend the chai blondie! She also makes bespoke cakes. Read my review here.

Carrer de Sant Cristòfol, 19.

Amma Gelato

Creative vegan ice creams made with prime raw materials. The ice creams are fantastic, and very creamy. Some of them you couldn’t imagine they’re vegan! Read my review of Amma Gelato here.

Plaça de la Virreina, 3.

Candela Canela

A shop full of cinnamon rolls, is that paradise or what? Make sure you try the dulce de leche one. They’ve got specialty coffee if you need something strong to go with your roll.

Carrer de Ros de Olano, 48.

Lukumas

Fantastic donuts that you’ll be dreaming about long afterwards, and specialty coffee. Read my post here.

Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, 169.

La Besneta

A 100% vegan bakery with gorgeous (and very delicious) cakes and sweets.

Carrer de Torrijos, 37.

Chök

Their shop in Raval has a constant queue, but this chocolate bakery is much calmer but equally as good, if not better.

Carrer d'Astúries, 93.

For a full list of good breakfast spots in Barcelona, see my guide here.

Japanese and Asian restaurants

Fukamura

Fukamura might be familiar to many, but perhaps not the major transformation it has recently undergone. It is now an omakase restaurant, where talented chef Daisuke Fukamura showcases his skills behind the counter in his namesake space.

There are only six seats in this experience, and it makes it feel truly special. Not only is the food remarkable, what’s also worth highlighting is the friendly and approachable demeanour of chef Fukamura. He makes you feel welcome and initiates conversation, which makes for a great opportunity to ask questions. Sometimes an omakase can be quite a sombre affair, but this is not the case at Fukamura. It’s highly worthwhile. Read my review here.

Carrer de Còrsega, 479.

Shoronpo

One of the best ramen in the city is served here. They were immensely popular, but had to change location so they were shut for some time. Now they are back with a vengeance: in a much cooler spot, and their ramen is just as magical as ever. They are known for their Tantanmen, but try their soup dumplings too; they’re spectacular.

Carrer Dr. Rizal, 20.

La Coco

An unexpected Japanese restaurant a few meters away from famous Gaudi creation Casa Vicens. Here delicious and authentic Japanese food mixes with elegant and interesting Spanish wines. This concept is solid. Read my review of La Coco here.

Carrer d'Aulèstia i Pijoan, 6.

Hitsumabushi

The chef used to work at the Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, and now he serves tasty Japanese food (eel is their specialty!) in Gracia. Read my post here.

Avinguda de la Riera de Cassoles, 3.

Omu

This adorable onigiri shop was love at first sight. So many delicious options, they use high-quality ingredients, the staff is very friendly, and the place is so cute. I’m addicted. Read my review here.

C/ Biada 1.‍ ‍

Kibuka

I’m a big fan of this Japanese - Brazilian fusion place. They have two restaurants and one takeaway in Gracia. Don't miss their brigadeiros for dessert.

Goya 9, Torrent de l’Olla 23 and Gran de Gràcia 153 (two last ones takeaway only).

Kitsune

A very popular Japanese restaurant, excellent value for money. I love their matcha cheesecake.

Carrer del Montseny, 13.

Kakigori

Beautiful Japanese cotton cheesecakes, onigiris, kakigori (shaved ice) desserts, and more can be enjoyed in this little shop in the heart of Gràcia.

Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia, 3.

Bars and cocktails

Bloody Mary Cocktail Lounge

Such a cozy little bar where the cocktails are made to perfection (without too much damage to your wallet). Good snacks too. They have 10 different Bloody Marys! Read my post here.

Carrer de Ferrer de Blanes, 3.

Oblicuo HiFi Bar

Barcelona has a listening bar, and it’s located in Gràcia, as one would expect. The sound system here is top notch, and they bring in different DJs on a weekly basis. They also serve natural wines. Read my review here.

Carrer de la Riera de Sant Miquel, 59.

Bar Salvatge

A cosy wine bar that’s all about natural wines. The atmosphere is great, and it gets packed, so go early. They offer a little something to snack on, too, and you can buy one of the many bottles on display.

Carrer de Verdi, 50.

14 de la Rosa

Cocktails, natural wines, small dishes to share and a cosy vibe in this charming and a little elegant neighborhood bar.

Carrer de Martínez de la Rosa, 14.

Nola Cocktail Bar & Food

A very cozy cocktail bar with elaborate drinks and tasty New Orleans-inspired food. Jazz plays in the background: it is the perfect place for a date night.

Carrer de Santa Teresa, 1b, Local 1.

Missa Bar

Looking for a place to go for a beer with friends? And when you get hungry, maybe have a bite to eat? And maybe even bring your dog? Then Missa is for you. They have great craft beer on tap, and also great natural wines.

Carrer Jesús, 16.

FoCo

The name FoCo comes from Foreign Correspondents, and not only does this cocktail bar have a charming name: the place is a lot of fun, too. The cocktails are unusual, interesting, and crafted with precision (they have a lab downstairs where all the preparations, fermentations, and concoctions are made), and it’s very difficult to choose a favorite from their list. It’s a favorite among many, and it’s easy to see why.

Carrer de l'Encarnació, 52.

Casa Figari

Casa Figari is something of a temple for vinyl records, skilled DJs, and a whole lot of dancing. They organize live jazz jam sessions weekly, and DJ sessions that draw a disco-loving crowd to dance to some 70s and early 80s tunes. There’s something going on every day they’re open. It’s a lot of fun, and the atmosphere is always great and inclusive. (Currently they’re taking a break from DJ sessions).

Torrent de l’Olla, 141.

Lonely Bar Hi-Fi

This bar is very vibey, with a young crowd that gathers to drink tasty craft cocktails and enjoy the great music. They organize DJ sessions on the regular. A perfect place to go with friends for a fun night out.

Pinullet Formatgeria Urbana

A cheese shop where they make their own cheeses, different types, with organic, raw milk. You’ll also find some nice wines and other items.

Carrer de Sant Gabriel 13.

Sense Shop

This place is packed with non-alcoholic drinks, ranging from famous Spanish brands for wine and cava, to super cool international ones for non-alcoholic liquors for mixing top-notch mocktails, craft beer, and fascinating fermented drinks. You can also do tastings here, and the team is very nice: one of them is a mixologist with many, many years of experience. Read my review of Sense Shop here.
