Background

About Gran Bar Etoile

The Story

Gran Bar Etoile opened its doors in 1979 and has been a fixture of Sant Gervasi ever since, known in the neighbourhood for its tortillas. The bar sits inside Parc de Ferran Casablanques, with a terrace among the trees and a green-panelled interior with a checkered floor and classic bentwood stools. As a bit of local trivia, the bar appeared as a location in the 1985 film 'Yo, el Vaquilla'.

The Cuisine

The kitchen leans into the bar-de-barrio tradition with a broad all-day menu: spoon dishes like callos a la madrileña, pig's trotter terrine and Strogonoff meatballs, a long list of cold and hot sandwiches, Catalan tortillas, tapas such as gildas, braves Etoile and trinxat, and heartier plates including steak tartare cut by knife, oxtail with parmentier, beef cheek cannelloni and a pulled pork burger. Prices run from about €1.90 for a plain croissant to around €28 for bottles of regional wine.

Experience

Gran Bar Etoile Dining Experience

The bar has the bones of a classic bar de barrio: green-panelled walls, a checkered tile floor, bentwood stools and a marble counter stacked with jars and house supplies. In warm weather the terrace among the trees of Parc de Ferran Casablanques is the main draw, with a handful of outdoor tables that fill quickly at lunch.
