Background
About Bodega Amposta
The Story
Bodega Amposta sits in the Font de la Guatlla neighbourhood, a district shaped by the old Casaramona factory (now CaixaForum) that stood almost alone here until the early 20th century. One of the few surviving brick-built refrigerators in Barcelona is visible in the restaurant, a physical reminder of the bodega's past in this neighbourhood. Barcelona captures the identity: the bodega is 'a testament to the past of this old neighbourhood.' Chef Chema Martinez now runs a contemporary Catalan kitchen centred on the Josper charcoal grill alongside the traditional bodega wine and vermouth programme.
The Cuisine
Traditional Catalan cuisine with innovative touches, centred on a Josper charcoal grill, Chef Chema Martinez's kitchen covers oysters (Guillardeau no. 3), Cantabrian anchovies, chickpeas with scarlet prawns (carabineros), cannelloni, callos (tripe), foie eggs, and low-temperature short rib. Weekday lunch menu approximately €19. Average spend €40 without drinks.
The Team
Bodega Amposta is run by chef Chema Martinez, who manages the Josper grill kitchen and traditional Catalan programme. The restaurant's identity, bodega heritage, neighbourhood institution, Catalan cooking with contemporary technique, reflects Martinez's approach to the Font de la Guatlla audience.

Bodega Amposta Location & Neighbourhood
Getting There
Bodega Amposta is on Carrer d'Amposta, 1, in the Font de la Guatlla neighbourhood, the residential quarter on the slopes of Montjuïc, in the shadow of the old Casaramona factory (now CaixaForum). The nearest metro is Espanya (L1, L3, FGC, approximately 400m walk).
Nearby
La Font de la Guatlla is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the slopes of Montjuïc, between the Espanya junction and the mountain, one of Sants-Montjuïc's most distinctive barris, shaped by its industrial past (the Casaramona factory, now CaixaForum) and the working-class families who settled here in the early 20th century. The area draws a local residential clientele; the tourist-to-local ratio is very low. Bodega Amposta's identity as a neighbourhood institution reflects the character of the barri as much as the quality of the kitchen.
