Gresca Bar

L'Eixample


From the team behind smart restaurant Gresca (with whom it shares an open-plan kitchen), this elegant gold-and-green wine and tapas bar is a whispered-about local hit. Chef Rafa Peña specialises in thoughtful, ambitious reinterpretations of quality seasonal produce, combined with exclusively natural wines. Try leeks sprinkled with burrata, veal sweetbreads or a bikini (toastie) with mushrooms or pork loin and Comté cheese.

You can also try Peña's culinary creations until late in gourmet-sandwich style at nearby green-clad Bar Torpedo, where the natural wines continue.
