Background
About Parada Torres
The Story
Sergio and Javier Torres opened Parada Torres inside Mercat de Santa Caterina in May 2026. The twin brothers behind the three-Michelin-star Cocina Hermanos Torres grew up around markets with their grandmother Catalina, and this stall is their tribute to that: an everyday market bar rather than a tasting-menu room, built around fresh produce and an open kitchen in the middle of Barcelona's Santa Caterina market hall.
The Cuisine
The kitchen cooks what the brothers call market cuisine: fresh, seasonal, locally sourced produce, a lot of it finished over a live-flame grill. The Torres describe the approach as a balance between tradition and creativity, product-led and without formality. It's pitched as accessible market-hall eating rather than fine dining.
The Team
Parada Torres is run by twin brothers Sergio and Javier Torres, the chefs behind the three-Michelin-star Cocina Hermanos Torres. Parada Torres is their casual market-bar project inside Mercat de Santa Caterina.
