Background
About Els Tres Porquets
The Story
Els Tres Porquets opened 15 years ago, carrying forward the culinary tradition of Can Pineda, the family's original restaurant that has been a Poblenou institution for over 45 years and stands just 150 metres away on the same rambla. The name ('The Three Little Pigs') reflects the playful, unpretentious spirit of the place: a tasca-style wine bar with a handwritten blackboard, a small wine cellar treated with real seriousness, and cooking that reaches well beyond its size and format.
The Cuisine
The kitchen operates from a daily blackboard (la pizarra), everything written on it is based on what the market offered that morning, and the menu adapts entirely with the season. The cooking spans elevated tapas, platillos for sharing, and author-quality dishes: carpaccio de presa ibérica with Mediterranean marinade, an extraordinary sándwich de rabo de toro on toasted bread, croquetas, and truffle preparations in season. Dishes fuse Catalan tradition with influences from other kitchens, always executed with market-fresh ingredients cooked at the moment of ordering. The wine list is a curated selection of natural and biodynamic wines with particular emphasis on organic producers, as much a destination for the cellar as for the food.
The Team
Els Tres Porquets is run by the family behind Can Pineda, the Poblenou institution that has been on the same rambla for over 45 years. The team brings decades of hospitality experience to a small space where every guest is treated as a regular.

Experience
Els Tres Porquets Dining Experience
Els Tres Porquets is a small, warm, and completely unpretentious tasca, just a handful of tables and some barrels with stools, tucked into a Rambla del Poblenou space that feels entirely like a local's secret. The atmosphere is lively without being loud, convivial, and deliberately free of formality. The wine list, displayed with evident care and knowledge, adds a layer of seriousness beneath the casual surface. Predominantly local clientele. This is a restaurant for people who know Barcelona.

Els Tres Porquets Location & Neighbourhood
Getting There
Els Tres Porquets sits on the Rambla del Poblenou, the wide, tree-lined promenade that runs through the heart of Barcelona's most dynamic neighbourhood. The rambla is the local version of Las Ramblas: a pedestrian boulevard flanked by cafés, restaurants, and local shops, running from the city grid down toward the sea. The restaurant is a 10-minute walk from Llacuna or Poblenou metro stations on line L4.
Nearby
Provençals del Poblenou is a sub-district of Poblenou, Barcelona's former industrial neighbourhood that has transformed over the past two decades into one of the city's most creative and food-forward areas. The 22@ tech district and Rambla del Poblenou, the neighbourhood's own version of Las Ramblas, anchor a food scene that has grown to rival the Eixample for quality without matching its prices. Els Tres Porquets and its sister restaurant Can Pineda represent the neighbourhood's deep local roots, sustained across generations while the area around them transformed.
