Background

About Tivoli 1940

The Story

Tivoli 1940 has anchored the corner of Muntaner and Travessera de Gràcia in Sant Gervasi - Galvany since 1940, trading as an all-day Barcelona bistro. The restaurant grew out of one of Barcelona's early takeaway kitchens and still runs its own colmado and rooftop smokehouse alongside the dining room.

The Cuisine

The à la carte reads like a Barcelona greatest-hits: tins of anchovies and caviar, jabugo ham croquettes, Tivoli patatas bravas, truffled bikini sandwiches, steak tartare, Café de Paris entrecôte, Catalan fricandó, Galician octopus and battered hake. The kitchen runs breakfasts, a midday menu, dinner and late drinks, with takeaway and catering through the adjoining shop.

The Team

Front-of-house is led from the dining room and groups coordinator Marta handles private events, birthdays and catering bookings on +34 608 711 650. The team serves the same menu from the café bar, dining room and covered terrace throughout the day.
