Background
About Bar Gañán
The Story
Bar Gañán is part of Grupo Galán, the hospitality group co-founded by Alejandro Pérez-Albert, Borja Malet, Cristian Gallardo, and Albert Botet. The group's original venue, Bar Galán on Carrer de Muntaner, established its contemporary Spanish tapas formula; Bar Gañán extends that concept to Carrer de Mandri in Sant Gervasi. Grupo Galán also runs Maggiorata, an Italian spot. The name 'gañán' plays on a Spanish archetype: the sociable character who never stays home, always invites a round, and rarely pays for one.
The Cuisine
The kitchen serves contemporary Spanish tapas centred on well-executed classics. Signature dishes include gildas, pincho de tortilla, baked macaroni, and tacos of sirloin with foie, alongside albóndigas, fricandó, croquetas de pollo, boquerones en vinagre, jamón, and pescado of the day. A curated wine list at reasonable prices accompanies the food, and the menu stays concise by design.
The Team
Bar Gañán operates under Grupo Galán, whose four co-founders are Alejandro Pérez-Albert, Borja Malet, Cristian Gallardo, and Albert Botet. The venue is sister to Bar Galán on Muntaner and Maggiorata.

Buen ambiente, mesas llenas, platos al centro y lo que surja.
Aquí no hay mucha explicación. Hay mesa, hay gente y pasa lo que pasa.
Y ahora empieza lo bueno.
Aquí no sobra nada, así se come.
Alcachofa, foie y queso. Un plato de esos que no se pide una vez.
