Background
About Taverna Can Margarit
The Story
Can Margarit is a traditional taverna in El Poble-sec, in Barcelona's Sants-Montjuïc district. The setting is rustic and old-fashioned, the sort of place built around long, unhurried meals rather than a quick bite.
The Cuisine
The kitchen works in Catalan and traditional Spanish cooking, with Levantine and Andalusian dishes on the menu too. Expect regional Spanish home cooking, plus wine, beer and dessert to round out a meal.
The Team
The focus here is traditional, regional cooking rather than anything fussy or modern. It's the kind of taverna kitchen that leans on familiar Spanish and Catalan dishes done in an unfussy, generous style.
