Background
About Madre Taberna Moderna
The Story
Madre Taberna Moderna is a modern Spanish taberna-style tapas place in the Sagrada Família area of L'Eixample. It's a sit-down spot serving lunch and dinner, set up for sharing plates over wine or cocktails.
The Cuisine
The kitchen does modern Spanish tapas with a Mediterranean lean — the small-plate format Spain is built on, meant to be ordered across the table and shared. There are vegetarian options on the menu alongside the wider tapas spread.
The Team
The format is the classic tapas kitchen: a spread of small plates designed to be ordered together and passed around rather than kept to one person. It's the kind of menu you build as a group, adding plates as you go.
