Background
About Délices de France
The Story
Délices de France was founded in 1966 by a French couple as a charcuterie with small tasting tables for French products that were pioneers in Barcelona at the time. In 1970, it moved to the current location on Carrer de Muntaner 443, evolving into a full restaurant. During those years it became one of the trendiest restaurants in the city, frequented by celebrities and a reference for the Gauche Divine cultural movement. It was a pioneer in introducing dishes like cheese soufflé, steak tartare, Burgundy snails, French onion soup, cheese fondue, and quiche Lorraine to Barcelona. Today it is owned and run by Juan Gómez, present since the early days, with his wife Rosa in the kitchen and son Sergio as sommelier.
The Cuisine
Chef Rosa Gómez maintains the classic French repertoire with a Mediterranean touch, guarding the original specialities. The restaurant is famous for its nine varieties of steak tartare (Délices, Provenzal, Pampero, Tropical, Oriental, Húngaro, David Arroyos, Pimienta, Calvados). Other signatures include cheese soufflé, Burgundy snails, French onion soup, cheese fondue, quiche Lorraine, and tournedó with foie gras and truffles. Lunch menus from 14 EUR. Around 35 EUR per person without drinks.
The Team
A family operation: Juan Gómez runs the dining room as maître, his wife Rosa leads the kitchen, and their son Sergio serves as sommelier overseeing the wine cellar. Several dishes are named after loyal doctor regulars (Dr. Salvatella, Dr. Pi, Dr. Escalante). Google reviewers give it 4.2/5 from 457 reviews.
