Background
About Bar Bodega Costa Brava
The Story
Bar Bodega Costa Brava is a traditional neighbourhood bodega in the heart of Vila de Gràcia. The small, characterful space draws regulars from the surrounding streets for its honest tapas, house-poured vermouth, and convivial atmosphere. It operates without a website or reservation system, relying entirely on word of mouth and its loyal local following.
The Cuisine
The bodega specialises in classic Catalan bar food: tapas, charcuterie and cheese boards, quality tinned preserves, sandwiches, and boquerones. The house vermouth, served a granel (from the barrel), is a signature. The kitchen keeps things simple and traditional, prioritising good ingredients over elaborate technique.
The Team
The bodega is owned by Ileana Carina López Zatti, who runs the front-of-house and kitchen with a small family-style team.
