Background
About Enoteca Paco Pérez
The Story
Enoteca Paco Pérez has operated within Hotel Arts Barcelona, the Ritz-Carlton property on the city's waterfront, for over two decades, earning its second Michelin star and establishing itself as one of the most acclaimed Mediterranean fine-dining destinations in Spain. The restaurant is the Barcelona expression of chef Paco Pérez's broader culinary universe, which spans five Michelin stars across multiple restaurants: two at Miramar in Llançà (Costa Brava), one at Arco in Gdansk, and two at Enoteca itself. The Repsol Guide describes the kitchen as 'heir to the Bullinic spirit', a lineage rooted in the Costa Brava's culinary revolution that Pérez translates into a serenely elegant waterfront setting.
The Cuisine
The kitchen's philosophy is anchored in what Pérez calls 'the essence of the Mar d'Amunt', the upper sea off the Cap de Creus, where his flagship restaurant Miramar sits. Seasonal ingredients dictate the menu: sea cucumbers, sea urchins, fish and shellfish from the Mediterranean, alongside truffle, ceps, and tear-drop peas from nearby vegetable gardens. Michelin describes the governing principles as 'an utmost respect for seasonal ingredients and a clear goal to elevate traditional dining concepts such as sea and mountains.' One standout dish cited by Michelin inspectors is the sea bass in a sea of seaweed, finished with a sauce that 'releases the freshness of the ocean to the fullest.' A tasting menu is the sole format, with a sommelier-selected wine pairing and a premium wine pairing available as supplements. The wine list runs to over 700 references, described by as 'sublime.'
The Team
Paco Pérez is chef-proprietor, dividing his time between Enoteca in Barcelona and Miramar in Llançà on the Costa Brava. His cooking philosophy, described by Repsol as 'free, precise, and without artifice', reflects the maturity of a chef who has spent decades refining a highly personal expression of Catalan Mediterranean cuisine. The sommelier programme is a defining feature: with 700-plus references, the wine service at Enoteca is among the most serious of any Barcelona fine-dining restaurant.

Enoteca Paco Pérez Location & Neighbourhood
Getting There
Enoteca Paco Pérez is housed within Hotel Arts Barcelona, a 44-floor tower on Carrer de la Marina in the La Barceloneta neighbourhood of Ciutat Vella. The hotel stands directly on the waterfront at Port Olímpic, metres from the Mediterranean. The nearest metro station is Ciutadella | Vila Olímpica (Line 4, yellow), approximately a 10-minute walk along the seafront promenade. The address, Carrer de la Marina, 19-21, places the restaurant at the base of one of Barcelona's most recognisable skyline landmarks.
Nearby
La Barceloneta is Barcelona's historic fishing quarter, wedged between the old city and the sea. The neighbourhood was transformed ahead of the 1992 Olympics when the Port Olímpic was constructed, bringing Hotel Arts and its twin tower, Torre Mapfre, to the seafront. Enoteca occupies a singular position among Barcelona's fine-dining restaurants: it is the only two-Michelin-star address directly on the Mediterranean waterfront. The wider Ciutat Vella district houses several acclaimed restaurants, but none match the combination of sea view and starred cuisine that defines the Enoteca experience.
