Restaurant
Disfrutar
Three-Michelin-star restaurant in the Eixample run by former elBulli chefs Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casañas, serving long, playful tasting menus.
A friendly Gràcia tapas bar mixing Spanish classics with reinvented small plates, open daily with a smaller sister bar, La MiniPepita, next door.
La Pepita sits on Carrer de Còrsega at the bottom of Gràcia, close to Passeig de Gràcia, and draws a mixed crowd of locals and visitors. The menu combines classic tapas with more personal, reworked ideas, so a table can mix familiar favourites with something new.
The bar is open every day, with the kitchen serving at lunch and from early evening until midnight, and it fills up quickly at peak times; contact them to book or arrive early. If it is full, the smaller sister bar La MiniPepita, a few doors along, serves in the evenings. Afterwards, wander up into Gràcia's squares for a drink.
