Casa Guinart
Casa Guinart
Casa Guinart has stood on La Rambla 95 since 1899, reinvented in 2012 by Òscar Manresa and the founding family's great-grandson David Moya. Chef Josep Nicolau cooks Catalan tapas, rice dishes, and grilled seafood built around daily picks from the Boqueria across the street.
Background
About Casa Guinart
The Story
Casa Guinart has occupied the same address opposite the Boqueria since 1899, originally as a family-run grocery and bar serving market vendors and visitors. In 2012, Òscar Manresa partnered with the founding family's great-grandson David Moya to reinvent the space as a tapas bar and restaurant, keeping the historic façade and adding a small dining room across upper floors. The restaurant is now part of the Òscar Manresa hospitality group.
The Cuisine
The kitchen cooks Catalan tapas and rice dishes built around what is fresh that day at the Boqueria. The menu leans on classics like grilled prawns, mussel casserole, paella, jamón, and tortilla, with daily specials reflecting market availability. The format works for both quick bar grazing and longer seated meals upstairs.
The Team
Chef Josep Nicolau, formerly of Roser 24, leads the kitchen, working under the broader direction of Òscar Manresa and David Moya. The team prioritizes simple preparation that lets Boqueria produce dictate the plate, with a small daily-changing list of suggestions alongside the standing menu.

Casa Guinart Dining Experience
The ground-floor bar is lively and informal, with stools and standing space in the line of sight of the Boqueria entrance. The two upper floors are quieter and more table-oriented, with exposed beams and a townhouse feel suited to longer meals.
