Sopars amb Estrelles is a summer-long dinner-and-stargazing series at the Observatori Fabra on Tibidabo, running select evenings from 29 May to 4 October 2026. The format pairs a multi-course Catalan dinner on the open-air terrace with a 30-minute scientific lecture and a guided tour ending under the dome's 1904 telescope (one of the largest and oldest functioning instruments in Europe). Diners choose between a conventional menu (meat and fish), vegetarian menu, children's menu or an adapted menu for dietary intolerances at booking. Prices range from €42 to €133 per person depending on the menu chosen, including a welcome drink, multi-course dinner, wine, water, coffee, the scientific lecture and the full astronomy programme. The Observatori Fabra sits 400m up Tibidabo with views over the entire Barcelona skyline, making the Sopars amb Estrelles experience the city's most singular dinner format.
Barcelona's most singular dinner format. The food is solid Catalan, the lecture is short and engaging, but the moment everyone remembers is queueing for the 1904 telescope under the dome. Book the earliest evening you can (long summer twilight = best dome views) and arrive 30 minutes early to walk the gardens before sundown.
