Background
About Winter Garden
The Story
Winter Garden is the seasonal winter identity of the Rooftop Garden, the top-floor terrace dining space at El Palace Barcelona. The hotel opened in 1919 as the Ritz and has since been reinterpreted for the contemporary traveller. The rooftop sits on the 7th floor, looking out across Barcelona with 360-degree views and the Sagrada Família as a backdrop, and draws on the spirit of the 1920s garden at the palace of Francesc Cambó.
The Cuisine
The kitchen serves Mediterranean cooking with a modern accent, built around seasonal products. Menus are refreshed every two to three weeks. Dishes lean toward shared plates and tapas in the warmer months, while the winter service shifts to a more structured evening offering.
The Team
Chef Daniel Padró leads the kitchen at Rooftop Garden, developing a menu that pairs light Mediterranean cooking with broader Spanish and occasional Lebanese influences.
