Background
About Buj
The Story
Restaurant Buj, also known locally as Can Buj, opened in June 1981 on Carrer de Provença in Barcelona's Eixample Esquerre, between Calàbria and Viladomat. A remodel in 2001 refreshed the dining room and set its current 50-seat capacity. The address has become a neighbourhood fixture, recognised in the local press for its steady, ingredient-led cooking.
The Cuisine
The kitchen follows a Mediterranean, market-driven approach built around fresh, carefully selected ingredients. The à la carte menu spans sharing plates such as croquetas de rostit and Cantabrian anchoas, starters including carpaccios and pulpo braseado, fish and rice dishes like rodaballo al horno and arròs negre, and meat courses from espaldita de cabrito to txuletón Vasco. Group menus are offered at €38 and €50. The wine list draws from Priorat, Montsant, Penedès, Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Rías Baixas, alongside a dedicated sparkling selection from producers such as Gramona, Recaredo, Torelló, Parxet and Roura.
The Team
The team combines its own cooking with classes ("cursos") and private events hosted at the restaurant. Event bookings run through Paky Herrero on 659 787 998. No head chef is publicly named in the restaurant's own materials.
