Best Restaurants in Gràcia, Barcelona

Bib GourmandRepsol Recommended

Berbena is a small neighbourhood restaurant on Carrer de Minerva in la Vila de Gràcia, named after Barcelona's traditional street festivals, where chef-owner Carles Pérez de Rozas Canut cooks seasonal Mediterranean small plates in half and quarter portions. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand (which is not a star) and a Repsol Recomendado (a listing, not a Sol). Dishes run from an oxtail gyoza with a bit of broth at €5.30 to charcoal-grilled squid with peas and lardo at €26.90 to a guineafowl 'engrescada' at €31.70, with a crème fraîche ice cream with olive oil and salt for dessert. Two things to know: it serves lunch only on Fridays, dinner the rest of the week across two seatings, and a credit card holds your table. Book directly.

Con Gracia is an intimate tasting-menu restaurant on a quiet Gràcia side street, run for more than twenty years by husband-and-wife owners Jose Luís and Sabrina. It's tasting-menu only, no à la carte, and the room is tiny. Two menus run at €79: the Menú Vintage (a set of written courses) and the Menú Experiencia (the chef's surprise), each with an optional wine pairing at €44, and veg or vegan versions with 72 hours' notice. The cooking leans creative and seasonal, with dishes like a Galician red prawn rice with seaweed mayonnaise, a wagyu stuffed a la catalana with cardamom onions, and a red mullet stuffed with all-i-oli and fish ajada. It's dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday plus seasonal breaks. Book through TheFork or the restaurant; the room fills fast.

Repsol

Roig Robí has been on Carrer de Sèneca in la Vila de Gràcia since 1982, a family-run traditional Catalan restaurant now led by chef Joan Crosas, son of founder Mercè Navarro. It holds a Repsol Sol (a real one), and the garden terrace is the signature draw. The weekday-lunch RR Menu is €49.50 (one starter, one main, one dessert, Monday to Friday, VAT included), with tasting menus from a €56 Petit Degustation up to a €110 seasonal Truffle Tasting. À la carte runs to a cannelloni au gratin at €19, a rice with sea cucumbers and artichokes at €42, and a charcoal-grilled wild turbot with vegetables at €44. It's the historic anchor of Gràcia dining. Book through TheFork or directly, and confirm the Saturday service when you do.

Botafumeiro is the Galician seafood institution on Gran de Gràcia 81, the neighbourhood's main spine, founded in 1975 by Moncho Neira. The kitchen runs non-stop from noon until 01:00 daily, with a seafood bar, and the menu is built around four market-price categories: shellfish natural or à la plancha, fish baked or grilled over coals, seafood rice dishes and stews. Because it's all market price, there are no fixed per-dish figures to quote, so ask at the table and expect a serious bill: this is a tourist-famous, expensive institution sitting right on the Gràcia boundary rather than a quiet plaça local. It's the place for big shellfish platters and old-school service. Book at botafumeiro.com, email or call ahead, and note there's valet parking.

La Pubilla sits on Plaça de la Llibertat, opposite the Mercat de la Llibertat, where chef-owner Alexis Penalver (trained at Akelarre and Casa Calvet) took over a space that originally opened in 1912, around 2010. It carries a Repsol Solete (a guide listing, not a Sol). The cooking is modern Catalan, and the value play is the daily menu at €16, three courses with wine, changing with the market. There's also a tasting menu at €55. Dishes lean traditional and homely: a slow-braised pork cheek with potatoes, a Thursday mar i muntanya rice with chicken and prawns, a terrine of pig face and foot with octopus. It does a morning fork-breakfast service too. Closed Monday and Sunday, and reservations are essential.

Lluritu is a no-frills seafood specialist on Torrent de les Flors, toward Gràcia's eastern edge near Joanic. The whole point is fresh fish and shellfish, sourced locally and cooked simply, across a short à la carte of around 14 dishes, grilled or raw. Prices stay low for the quality: oysters at €2.90, grilled queen scallops (zamburiñas) at €8.50, baby langoustines (escamarlanets) at €9.50. There are no set menus and no fuss, just good product handled with restraint. It's open Tuesday to Sunday with a continuous Saturday service, closed Monday, and it's the rare Gràcia spot to land on a wider Barcelona seafood radar. Book through the restaurant website, and go hungry for the raw bar.

Cal Boter is a Catalan kitchen on Carrer de Tordera in la Vila de Gràcia, cooking catalana shaped by seasonal ingredients and careful technique. It carries a Repsol Solete (a guide listing, not a Sol), and it sits at the affordable end of the neighbourhood, with a price level of around €25 or under per person. It doesn't publish a menu, so we won't put words in the kitchen's mouth on specific dishes; this is a sit-down, traditional, neighbourhood spot rather than a tasting-menu room. Hours run mornings into the afternoon most days, with dinner added Thursday to Saturday, and it's closed Sunday. Reservations are required through the restaurant website, and it's a short walk from its Tordera neighbour Fonda Pepa.

Tangana is a market-cuisine restaurant on Riera de Sant Miquel, toward Gràcia's western edge, run by chefs Josep Maria Masó and Àlex López. The room is casual and modern, and the cooking is built on quality ingredients handled simply, with an à la carte that spans small bites up to bigger plates. Standouts include a Russian salad with tuna (ensaladilla rusa amb tonyina) at €8.50, an Iberian cheek mollete at €8.75 and a steak tartare with oscietra caviar at €18.50. It's an easy, no-occasion-needed kind of place, open Monday to Saturday with a continuous midday-to-evening service and closed Sunday. Reservations are recommended, by phone or via Google Maps. Good for a relaxed plates-and-wine sit-down on the way into the neighbourhood.

Santa Magdalena is a traditional Catalan kitchen on its namesake street in la Vila de Gràcia, where the work is in the spoon dishes: fricandó, cap i pota, escudella, galtes, macarrons, the slow-cooked plates of home Catalan cooking, alongside fresh-product dishes. It's a low-cost spot, around €20 to €25 a head, with fork breakfasts, lunches and dinners. It carries a Repsol listing recorded as 'Recommended' (not a Sol). The kitchen works à la carte rather than from a fixed menu, so we won't quote per-dish prices the restaurant doesn't publish. It's open most of the week with a long continuous service Wednesday to Saturday, and closed Monday. Reservations are required through the restaurant website. A genuine neighbourhood Catalan room rather than a destination.

Fonda Pepa is a Catalan-Mexican fusion fonda on Carrer de Tordera, opened in 2020 by chef-owners Pedro Bano and Paco Benitez. The pair met at the Sant Pol cooking school, Paco trained at Caelis and Noma, and they cook over a Josper grill. The result fuses two traditions: a cap i pota terrine with octopus and aioli, a socarrat rice with prawns, a lamb neck with guajillo, chickpeas and romesco, plus patatas bravas with chipotle and croquetas de rustido. It sits at a mid price level, around €40 a head. The kitchen doesn't publish dish prices, so we've left those off rather than invent them. Open Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday, with reservations recommended. A distinctive angle a couple of doors from Cal Boter.

Bodega Quimet is a 1954 Gràcia tavern on Carrer de Vic, run since 2010 by the Montero brothers, and it's about as Gràcia as it gets: the original bodega character intact, wooden wine barrels stacked above the bar, vintage vermouth posters on the walls. It carries a Repsol Solete (a listing, not a Sol). The draw is the homemade vermut, which has won awards, poured alongside traditional tapas: a Quimet vermouth assortment at €14.50, a veal cheek at €16.90, a veal fricandó at €12, with Cantabrian anchovies and a house salad rounding it out. It's a walk-in-friendly bodega rather than a book-ahead room, with reservations taken by phone, and it's open daily across lunch and (most days) evening. The pure-character pick of the neighbourhood.

Kibuka Goya is the original location of Kibuka Grup, opened in 2004 on Carrer Goya 9 as the group's first take on a Western-accented Japanese kitchen in Barcelona; it's since grown to five locations. This is the value-and-international pick, under €25 a head, working mostly à la carte across kitchen plates, maki and uramaki rolls, and a sushi bar of sashimi and nigiri. The menu lists price bands rather than single signature dishes, so we won't pin named dishes to prices the restaurant doesn't publish that way. Groups of eight to twelve book one of two set menus, at €26 or €32 a head. It's open daily with late weekend hours, walk-in for parties under eight. Handy when you want something that isn't Catalan.

Michelin SelectedRepsol

Brabo is a fire-focused steakhouse on Carrer de Sèneca, a few doors from Roig Robí, co-founded by Rafa Panatieri and Jorge Sastre of Sartoria Panatieri. Repsol calls it 'a sanctuary of fire,' and it holds a Repsol Sol (a real one) plus a Michelin 'Selected' listing (which is not a star); it also made a World's Best Steaks 2026 ranking at #101. The kitchen runs on aged beef and rare breeds, all charcuterie and bread homemade: a cured old Friesian cow loin at €25, an oak-smoked Gascon pork ham at €20, Maresme peas with monkfish and parsley pil-pil at €28. The big cuts are sold per kilo (€40–130/kg), so a large steak runs the bill up fast. Open Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday; book through the website or by phone.

Insolent is a creative Mediterranean restaurant inside Hotel Sonder La Casa del Sol in Gràcia, opened in 2023 by four co-founders, including head chef Julia Castello Bravo (ex-Paco Perez) and chef Miquel Garcia (ex-El Celler de Can Roca, ex-Disfrutar). That's the draw here: a small Gràcia room with a kitchen team out of some of the most serious addresses in the region. It carries a Repsol Recomendado (a listing, not a Sol), and it sits at around €50 a head. The kitchen doesn't publish its menu, so rather than invent dishes we'll point you at the pedigree and let the cooking speak. It's open Tuesday to Saturday, lunch and dinner, closed Sunday and Monday, with reservations recommended. One of the neighbourhood's most ambitious newer rooms.
