Background
About El Maravillas
The Story
El Maravillas sits on the Plaça de la Concòrdia in Les Corts, a small square that feels more like a village plaza than a Barcelona neighbourhood. The restaurant is part of Grup Confiteria - the Barcelona hospitality group founded around 2014 by childhood friends Enric Rebordosa and Lito Baldovinos - whose portfolio of 17 historic and emblematic venues includes La Confiteria (the group's 1912 modernist flagship), Paradiso (World's 50 Best Bars No.1), Dr. Stravinsky, Monk, Balius, Mudanzas, Muy Buenas, Cèntric, Café del Centre, Betlem, Macba Bar, Bodega Molina, Bolero, Bar Michigan, and Ultramarinos Marín. The group's mission is to rescue and revitalise historic bars and establishments across the city. El Maravillas brings that sensibility to Les Corts with a tree-lined terrace on Plaça de la Concòrdia, a menu of tapas and shareable plates, and a cocktail programme that leans on the group's combined expertise.
The Cuisine
The menu is contemporary tapas and sharing plates with a mid-range, neighbourhood focus. Signature dishes (the 'Platos destacados' listed on the restaurant's own homepage) include smoked Roset del Delta eel on black garlic mayonnaise toast, hummus with pita bread and seeds, burrata with escalivada pepper and olivada, Thai chicken fajita, Balfegó bluefin tuna fine tartare, and corvina-mango ceviche with prawns. The main menu spans four registers: Para picar (hummus, ensaladilla rusa with tuna belly, Cantábrico '00' anchovies, foie micuit, cabracho pâté, snails with artichokes and Iberian pancetta), Surtidos y embutidos (Guijuelo DO Iberian ham, artisan cheeses, Cal Rovira charcuterie), Para seguir (Cap i pota, Catalan cannelloni, steak tartare, Empordà duck sam, calabacín noodles with prawns), and a dedicated oyster menu (Puget Normandie nº2 with cava pairings). Desserts include tatín, chocolate fondant, cheesecake with wine quince, and chocolate truffles.
The Team
El Maravillas is part of Grup Confiteria, the Barcelona hospitality group founded by Enric Rebordosa and Lito Baldovinos around 2014. The group started with La Confiteria (a 1912 modernist cocktail bar rescued and restored) and grew to a portfolio of 17 venues including Paradiso (currently ranked #1 on the World's 50 Best Bars list), Dr. Stravinsky, and several other iconic Barcelona bars and restaurants. Enric Rebordosa is also the creative director behind Hijos de Javier. At El Maravillas, the service leans neighbourhood-accessible rather than speakeasy-polished, while drawing on the group's collective expertise in cocktails and hospitality design.

El Maravillas Dining Experience
El Maravillas combines a warm dining room with a generous tree-lined terrace on Plaça de la Concòrdia, one of Les Corts's most picturesque village-like squares. The cocktail programme draws on the group's expertise - Grup Confiteria is the parent company behind Paradiso (World's 50 Best Bars No.1) and Dr. Stravinsky - and service leans easy-going and neighbourhood-first rather than speakeasy-polished. The crowd mixes Les Corts locals, Camp Nou football fans and Barcelona cocktail-destination visitors.

El Maravillas Location & Neighbourhood
Getting There
El Maravillas is on Plaça de la Concòrdia, a small tree-lined square in Les Corts that feels more like a village plaza than a typical Barcelona street. The nearest metro is Maria Cristina (L3) or Les Corts (L3), both 5-7 minutes on foot. Camp Nou and the Avinguda Diagonal are within walking distance.
Nearby
Les Corts is a residential neighbourhood in western Barcelona, centred around Camp Nou and the FC Barcelona stadium. Plaça de la Concòrdia is one of its quieter, more picturesque corners - a small, historic square away from the main traffic arteries. The neighbourhood is rarely crowded with tourists, which makes restaurants like El Maravillas genuine neighbourhood-first picks.
