Background
About Bodega Joan

The Cuisine
The food is traditional Catalan and tapas, the kind of homestyle cooking meant for sharing across the table. Expect charcuterie boards and paellas, with sangria, wine and beer to drink, plus coffee and dessert to finish.
The Team
The kitchen sticks to a homestyle Catalan repertoire built around tapas, boards and rice dishes. The format is generous and shareable, the sort of menu you order across for the table.
