Background

About Aspic

The Story

Aspic has operated in Barcelona's Sant Gervasi-Galvany since 2005 as a triple concept: restaurant, gourmet delicatessen, and catering service. The group runs two dining locations, Pau Casals 24 near Turo Park and Doctor Ferran 23 in Pedralbes, with central catering offices on Manuel Girona. The catering arm counts more than thirty-five years of experience in weddings, corporate events and private celebrations.

The Cuisine

The kitchen serves Mediterranean cuisine built around seasonal market produce, with a menu that mixes avant-garde technique and traditional recipes. The carta leans on small plates to share followed by fish, meat and vegetable mains, and rounds off with house-made desserts. Signature dishes on the 2026 menu include patatas bravas Aspic, Aspic croquettes, lobster rolls, steak tartare Aspic, tagliatelle al Rucu with fried egg, foie and truffle, and almadraba tuna tartare with black truffle. The attached delicatessen sells charcuterie, cheeses, conservas, prepared dishes and a curated wine selection to take away.

The Team

The business is led by founders and long-time owners Eduard Casanovas and Quique Roca-Umbert, who bring a combined background of more than thirty-five years in Barcelona catering and restauration. Their kitchen teams work both locations with a shared philosophy of quality produce, careful technique and attentive service.
