Background
About Valentin Restaurant Xarcuteria
The Story
Valentín Restaurant Xarcuteria is a small neighbourhood restaurant in the heart of la Dreta de l'Eixample, on Carrer de la Diputació at the corner of Roger de Llúria. The concept combines a sit-down restaurant with a charcuterie space -- guests pass a display of Iberian cured meats, Catalan embutidos, and artisanal cheeses before reaching the dining room. The kitchen follows the market and the seasons, and the dining room opens onto a small pavement terrace under a black awning.
The Cuisine
The kitchen serves seasonal Mediterranean market cuisine built around quality produce and traditional preparations. Signature plates include tuna tartare with avocado and mango, grilled octopus leg with romesco, seared scallops and ceps on a honey-lemon emulsion, steak tartare, and 30-day aged entrecôte. The charcuterie counter features Iberian bellota jamón from D.O. Guijuelo, fuet and salchichón from Vic, butifarra from Hostalets de Balenyà, and a selection of Catalan and imported cheeses. The wine list runs to more than 120 references with several poured by the glass daily.
The Team
Valentín is family-run. The chef and founding family are not publicly identified on the restaurant's own channels, so we do not attribute individual credits here.
