Background
About Garum Conserves i Vins
The Story
Garum Conserves i Vins opened in late 2024 on Carrer de Vilarós in Sant Gervasi, a small street next to the Mercat de Sant Gervasi. The project is owner Ricard Torres's first solo venture after a long career in Barcelona hospitality - 17 years at Grupo Tragaluz managing multiple restaurant concepts, plus experience with Grupo Isabella's - and 30 years total working across the city's restaurant scene. Earlier in his career Torres trained under Jean Paul Vinay, the chef who earned two Michelin stars for El Bulli in the pre-Ferran Adrià era. Garum was converted from a former garage into a modern bodega-bistro hybrid that moves between wine bar, tapas and vermouth bar, full bistro kitchen and a midday daily menu.
The Cuisine
The kitchen is market-driven and plays across Catalan, Spanish and international registers. Signature plates include croquetas de fricandó, curried chicken croquettes, tuna with mushroom escabeche, spicy steak tartare, bacalao buñuelos with romesco, pastrami panini, calamares, canelones, and callos. Traditional Catalan dishes like meatballs with cuttlefish and salted cod with samfaina share the menu with international small plates and charcuterie. A €16 weekday lunch menu combines appetizer and main course. Expect around €30 per person at dinner. The wine programme is the other half of the concept: nearly 200 references sourced globally, with bottles available at shop prices plus an €8 corkage fee when consumed on-site.
The Team
Ricard Torres runs Garum as owner and host, drawing on 30 years of Barcelona hospitality experience at Grupo Tragaluz, Grupo Isabella's, and earlier under chef Jean Paul Vinay (the chef who earned two Michelin stars at El Bulli before Ferran Adrià). The team is small and service leans bar-first, with Torres running both the floor and the wine selection day-to-day. The dining room is a converted garage space with a spacious terrace on the Mercat de Sant Gervasi plaza.

Garum Conserves i Vins Location & Neighbourhood
Getting There
Garum Conserves i Vins is at Carrer de Vilarós, 3, in Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova, directly on the Mercat de Sant Gervasi plaza. The nearest FGC station is Sant Gervasi (L6/L7), about a 5-minute walk. The space is a converted former garage with a dining room and spacious terrace facing the market.
Nearby
Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova is a quieter residential zone on the upper side of the Sarrià - Sant Gervasi district, centred around the Mercat de Sant Gervasi. The Vilarós plaza is one of the neighbourhood's small hidden squares - the kind of location that works well for a chef-owner opening a first solo project away from central tourist flow.
