La Pepita
La Pepita
La Pepita is a creative tapas spot in la Vila de Gràcia, the kind of small, buzzy room where you pile up shareable plates — bravas, croquettes, and the house pepitas (a modern take on the pepito) in classic, vegetarian and fish versions. It's casual and informal, often packed, and works for a group of friends as much as for two people sharing. Figure on €26–50 a head, with wine, beer, vermouth, cocktails and vegetarian options on hand.
Background
About La Pepita
The Story
La Pepita sits in la Vila de Gràcia, the dense, walkable core of the Gràcia district. It's a casual, informal tapas bar built around a marble counter and a small saloon, set up for sharing plates with friends — and it gets packed, especially on weekends.
The Cuisine
The cooking is creative tapas: small shareable plates that mix classics with reinvented versions. Expect bravas and house croquettes alongside the signature pepitas — a modern spin on the pepito sandwich done in classic, vegetarian and fish versions.
The Team
The kitchen works in the small-plates format, so dishes come out to share and you build a meal across several rounds. The focus sits on seafood and on desserts that get the same creative treatment as the savoury side.
