The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Can Jubany

  1. A Michelin-starred farmhouse restaurant outside Barcelona where the vegetable garden at the entrance feeds the kitchen behind it. Chef Nandu Jubany, who has raced in the Dakar Rally between services, roots his contemporary Catalan cooking firmly in the countryside around it. The dining rooms have a rustic-contemporary warmth, there's a chef's table beside the kitchen, and the tasting menus run long and generous.


  2. A farmhouse restaurant a short drive from Vic, where the stone-and-timber setting comes with a glass-fronted terrace and a menu that leans into Catalan tradition without getting stuck there. The kitchen runs under the influence of Nandu Jubany, and daily specials shift the whole thing toward something more alive. The duck glazed with heather honey and a rum baba finished tableside both make a case for lingering longer than you planned.


  3. Rank 3. VIA

    Catalan

    Eighteenth-century frescoes of Catalan village life cover the walls of this restaurant, which occupies the grand first floor of a historic aristocratic house in the centre of Vic. The cooking is contemporary Catalan, built around local seasonal produce, with rice dishes for two drawing particular attention. The room alone makes a case for booking a table, and the menu gives you several reasons to stay longer than planned.


  4. Rank 4. Boccatti

    Catalan Seafood



  5. Rank 6. Sala

    Catalan

    The stone façade on Olost's main square does a good job of underselling what's inside: a one-Michelin-star restaurant that has been a quiet fixture of Catalan country cooking for long enough that a second generation is now running the pass. Black truffle, mushrooms, and game anchor the menu, which nudges toward the contemporary without abandoning the old-school dishes regulars would riot over losing. The bar up front serves a lighter set menu if you're just passing through.


  6. Three old magnolia trees shade a 19th-century building in the Montseny foothills, and the chef who runs the kitchen here also helms a Michelin-starred table in Barcelona, which tells you something about his priorities. This is a modern tasting-menu restaurant with a one Michelin star, where the cooking leans technical but stays tethered to local organic producers. Two menus, both named for the surrounding natural park, come with a wine-pairing option.


  7. A century-old building that started life as a farmers' casino and social club now holds a Michelin-starred contemporary Catalan restaurant in a small town outside Girona. The Feliu family has run it for decades, and the current generation leans into modern tasting menus that open, charmingly, with what the house calls "vermouth time." Local produce drives everything, and the room still carries its 19th-century bones without making a fuss about it.


  8. The five Rovira brothers run both the farm and the restaurant, so when the chef talks about knowing where the food comes from, he means he grew up with it. Tucked inside an old Catalan farmhouse in the hills above Berguedà, this Michelin-starred dining room serves seasonal Catalan cooking built almost entirely on what the family raises: Duroc pigs, their own hens, foraged mushrooms, truffles. A few guestrooms sit upstairs for anyone who doesn't want to leave.


  9. An old family farm in the volcanic La Garrotxa countryside, now dressed in strikingly minimal design where the dining room seems to dissolve into the landscape around it. Chef Fina Puigdevall runs this two-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant with her daughters and husband, building the menu around produce that hasn't left the region, much of it from their own garden. Hens roam the pavilion. The food is as dramatic as that sounds.


  10. Stone walls and wood beams recall the old roadside hostal this building once was, though the food inside is a long way from pilgrim rations. Ca l'Enric is a Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant run by siblings: two in the kitchen, one steering the wine list from a cellar that used to be a rainwater tank. The menus mine Catalan tradition through a seasonal, creative lens, leaning hard on whatever the Vall de Bianya's forests happen to be offering right now.



  11. Rank 13. Urbisol

    Spanish

    A family kitchen in the Catalan countryside where the vegetables taste like they were annoyed to be picked so soon. This restaurant inside a rural hotel earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand for updated traditional cooking, the kind that feels rooted rather than retro. Mushroom risotto, prawn suquet, fried eggs dressed up with truffle oil and Iberian ham: nothing tries too hard, but nothing phones it in either. The dining room runs with real warmth.



  12. Rank 15. L'Ó

    Modern New American

    Sitting across from a Benedictine monastery that has been there since well before anyone thought to write a Michelin Guide, this restaurant inside Món Sant Benet hotel holds a Michelin star for modern Catalan cooking built around organic, hyper-local ingredients. The menu leans into the surrounding landscape with a focus that feels less like a gimmick and more like genuine obligation to the place. Two tasting menus, both with wine pairing options.


  13. Stone arches in one room, panoramic mountain views in the other, and a Michelin-starred kitchen threading them together in a tiny Pyrenean village most maps seem to have forgotten. The chef trained under Santi Santamaria and cooks a seasonal, regionally rooted menu that leans on local meat, wild mushrooms, and mountain produce without making a fuss about any of it. The kind of place that makes a long drive feel like a reasonable life choice.


  14. The ajoblanco arrives at the table unfinished, the server adding the last touches in front of you, which sets the tone for a room that takes traditional Catalan cooking without taking itself too seriously. This relaxed, affordable restaurant sits a short walk from its fancier sibling and earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand on the strength of seasonal rice dishes, grilled fish, and cannelloni that taste like someone's grandmother is actually in the kitchen.


  15. Two cooks, one French and one Spanish, share a kitchen in this polished contemporary restaurant in Olot, which is the kind of detail that tells you something about the cooking before you've seen the menu. The focus is on local and seasonal ingredients with a Catalan accent, served à la carte or through a midweek lunch menu and a longer tasting menu called Descobrir. The garden out back supplies the green onions when they're in season.



  16. Three brothers divided the restaurant into thirds: Joan cooks, Josep pours, Jordi handles desserts. The result holds three Michelin stars and a waiting list that runs long enough to test anyone's patience. This is serious creative tasting-menu territory in Girona, where the kitchen works through local ingredients, climate commitments, and a procession of courses designed to hit every sense at once. Plan very, very far ahead.


  17. Rank 21. Gasparic

    Wood-fired Pizza

    The wood-fired oven greets you at the door before you've even found a seat, which is a fair statement of priorities for a pizzeria in a medieval village inside Garrotxa's volcanic park. The kitchen moves between classic Neapolitan, small pan, and double-fried styles, drawing on local ingredients throughout. It landed a spot on 50 Top Pizza Europe, which is a long way to travel for pizza until you're actually here eating it.


  18. A glass-fronted kitchen lets you watch the chefs work from the dining room, which sets the tone nicely. This old-school Catalan family restaurant sits in a chalet-style house on the edge of town, with a terrace and two distinct rooms: one for a casual weekday set menu, one with a more polished feel for longer lunches. Three generations in, the cooking stays rooted in the region, with seasonal set menus alongside the à la carte.


  19. A family restaurant that quietly added "3.0" to its old name when the third generation took over, which is a more honest way of handling inherited ambition than most places manage. It sits in Hostalric with Montseny mountain views and serves contemporary Catalan cooking that rotates with the seasons. Several set menus run at different price points, and the à la carte rice dishes cooked in the traditional tin pan have their fans among the regulars.


  20. Rank 24. Mint

    Catalan Mediterranean


  21. Rank 25. Garbí

    Catalan

    Named for the thermal wind that sweeps across the Levante, this family-run Catalan restaurant in Castellar del Vallès is the kind of place that keeps the regional kitchen honest. The chef, part of the local "Cuina Vallès" collective, runs a menu of deep-rooted classics: white beans, tripe with chickpeas, oxtail stew. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks with the crowd that comes for the daily lunch menu and never really leaves.


  22. A grilled duck dish that has been on the menu since before some of its diners were born anchors this Michelin-starred family restaurant in Girona's old quarter. The parents built it, the kids are now running it, and the cooking sits in that comfortable zone where tradition and contemporary technique quietly negotiate. Elegant without being stiff, and serious about locally sourced ingredients without making you hear about it constantly.


  23. Rank 27. Divinum

    Catalan

    Medieval Catalan vaults overhead, contemporary design underfoot, and a one-Michelin-star kitchen running a menu that treats the region's old recipes as something worth revisiting rather than archiving. The front of house and the sommelier are a married couple, which gives the room a warmth that larger restaurants pay consultants to fake. Half portions are available if you want to graze rather than commit, or there's a full tasting menu if you'd rather be steered.



  24. Rank 29. Terra

    Catalan


  25. The Roca brothers converted a medieval military fortress outside Girona into a Michelin-starred creative restaurant, and the whole visit feels appropriately theatrical. You arrive through an exhibition on El Celler de Can Roca's creative process, pass a wine cellar dome holding tens of thousands of bottles, and reach a concrete dining room where picture windows frame the Catalan landscape. The menu leans on classic Roca recipes, reinterpreted with enough distance to feel like its own thing.



  26. The wooden counter running through the dining room is where the chef works, finishes dishes tableside, and occasionally holds court. This is a casual Catalan bistro with a local-first ethos, though the menu quietly pulls in Asian influences where it feels right. Sea cucumbers and teardrop peas show up when the season allows, and the daily suggestions change depending on what arrived that morning. The kind of place where the kitchen has nothing to hide behind.


  27. Rank 33. SiNoFos

    Mediterranean

    The tasting menus here are named after rappers, which tells you something about the room before you've even sat down. This contemporary restaurant in Girona pairs an industrial, black-on-black interior with a Mediterranean-leaning kitchen that sources fish direct from the Blanes market. The name nods to an old-school public bench where the unemployed would gather, a detail that sits pleasantly at odds with how seriously good the cheesecake apparently is.


  28. Stone arches from the medieval city frame an open kitchen in this Catalan restaurant tucked into a narrow lane of Girona's old quarter. The couple running the room trained with the Roca brothers, and the cooking follows the seasons with a traditional Catalan backbone that's been quietly modernized without announcing it. Palamós shrimp and piparra peppers make regular appearances, and the space alone could carry the meal.


  29. Rank 35. UNÇA

    Catalan

    A contemporary Catalan restaurant tucked under the stone arches of Banyoles's medieval Plaça Major, where the minimalist interior makes a quiet argument with the thousand-year-old surroundings. The name nods to the old unit of weight used for buying food in bulk, which sets the tone: unpretentious, rooted, and a little literary. A short à la carte and a weekday set menu keep the kitchen focused, with a young team and chef Alba Hugas running the show.


  30. Rank 36. Normal

    Catalan


  31. Two chefs run this place, and the name gives nothing away. It's a casual contemporary Catalan restaurant with an industrial edge, built around small sharing plates that the team suggests you order three or four of per person. The cooking leans into Catalan tradition with a quiet fusion current running through it. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, which fits: the lunch menu in particular is the kind of thing locals quietly keep to themselves.


  32. Rank 38. La Font

    Seafood


  33. A centuries-old farmhouse in the hills outside Barcelona, converted into a traditional Catalan restaurant with a semi-open kitchen and stone walls that have seen a few things. The kitchen leans on organic meat and seasonal produce, sending out rice dishes, slow stews, and cuts off the Josper grill. The pigs' trotters have their own local following. A proper country lunch spot, the kind that fills up with tables of extended families who already know the menu by heart.



  34. The kitchen garden by the hotel entrance supplies much of what lands on your plate here, a contemporary tasting-menu restaurant inside an eco-resort just outside Barcelona. Three set menus, each built around certified organic, seasonal produce sourced from local farmers and that garden, trace the surrounding landscape course by course. The whole table commits to one menu, which feels less like a rule and more like the point.


  35. The Art Deco bar counter still standing from a 1940s cinema is the first clue that this Catalan restaurant has an unusual past. It runs as a training restaurant for young people with limited opportunities, part of a local social nonprofit, and the kitchen takes the mission seriously: seasonal menus lean on local ingredients and the cooking has a contemporary edge. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks.



  36. Rank 44. Cuina Sant Pau

    Contemporary Mediterranean


  37. A Neapolitan pizza spot in Sabadell where the owner built a following online and then had to make the pizza back it up. The dough is soft and properly leavened, cooked with the kind of precision that shuts down the skeptics. An entire section of the menu is devoted to margherita variations alone, which is either confidence or a dare. Book ahead; the room fills faster than the algorithm.


  38. An old-school Galician seafood restaurant that has been feeding the Maresme coast forever, El Hogar Gallego keeps things simple on purpose. Fish comes from the Atlantic, from the Cambados fleet and the auction houses at Blanes and Palamós, and the kitchen mostly steps aside, grilling or baking in salt so the catch does the talking. The à la carte is long, with rice and meat options for the unconvinced, but the fish and seafood are clearly why people come back.


  39. The Roca brothers named this restaurant after their mother, Montserrat Fontané, and the food follows the logic of that dedication: traditional Catalan home cooking, recreated in a castle on a mountain summit with a wooden deck and views that make the whole thing feel slightly surreal. The suquet de cabracho arrives on a tomato tartare base rather than the usual broth, which gives you a sense of how "modern twist" is being applied here.


  40. Rank 48. Maximmus Pizza

    Neapolitan Pizza

    The wood-fired oven is visible from the door, and the pizza makers never stop moving. Maximmus is a Neapolitan-style pizzeria in central Sabadell, a short drive from Barcelona, with a well-leavened dough that holds up under a menu of Italian classics and seasonal additions. The drink list is short but sensible, beers and wines chosen to match rather than impress. It holds a spot on the 50 Top Pizza Europe list.


  41. A narrow pedestrianised street in Terrassa's old quarter is a fine spot to revive Catalan farmhouse recipes nobody else bothered to remember. This modern cuisine restaurant runs as a true family affair, with one half of the couple cooking and the other running the room. The menu leans on local organic sourcing and seasonal tasting options alongside a daily set menu. The name, borrowed from Imma's grandfather, was his word for anything sublime, which sets expectations at a certain altitude. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand.


  42. The name nods to Terrassa's old reputation as a city of steam engines, which is a better origin story than most brasseries can claim. The open kitchen anchors a relaxed, unpretentious dining room on a pedestrianized street in the old quarter, where the menu leans into Catalan regional cooking built around locally sourced ingredients. The daily specials are worth asking about. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.


  43. The restaurant named itself after the French slang for Michelin stars, so the pressure was built in from day one. A Michelin star followed. This family-run spot in El Masnou serves tasting menus rooted in the El Maresme coastline, the chef keeping things seasonal and Catalan without being precious about it. The front-of-house manager designed the tableware herself, which tells you the level of care at work here.


  44. The entire kitchen is 18 square metres, which rules out a conventional stove or oven and leaves the chef reaching for a blowtorch and a Thermomix instead. This tiny farm-to-table spot in Terrassa does its shopping daily at the century-old market across the street, which explains why the menu skews fresh, cold, and composed. The Michelin Guide has taken notice. It's an odd, charming little place, and the constraints seem to push the cooking toward personality rather than away from it.


  45. A stone-walled roadside spot in rural Catalonia where the kitchen keeps things firmly old-school: sea and mountain stews, wood-fired meats, and rice dishes for two that change with the season. It's a family-run restaurant in the truest sense, the kind that skips the flourishes and just cooks. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks for a place this quietly confident about its Catalan cooking.


  46. Tables carved from fallen chestnut trees set the tone at this farm-to-table restaurant tucked into a Catalan village so small it barely registers on a map. The chef builds the menu around whatever the surrounding territory produces, with traditional roots and enough modern restraint to keep things from feeling precious. Weekday lunches run a set menu; evenings and weekends open up to à la carte and a tasting menu. A long drive in, but the village has nowhere else to be.



  47. An old-school Catalan restaurant in a wooded roadside spot outside Barcelona, Can Ferrán has been packing locals in for generations. The dining rooms are simple, one has an open fireplace, and the terrace is a nice touch. Grilled dishes are the draw, with Mongetes del Ganxet, the region's tender white beans, making a strong case for the local pantry. Cash only, and they mean it, so find the ATM before you sit down. Michelin Bib Gourmand.


  48. Rank 57. Lluerna

    Catalan

    A Michelin-starred modern Catalan restaurant in Santa Coloma de Gramenet where the kitchen is open to the dining room and the staff explain where every ingredient comes from before you've even picked up a fork. The menu is set, the whole table eats together, and the sourcing is serious, named farms and all. It runs at the pace of a place that has thought carefully about what a meal should feel like, not just taste like.



  49. A gracious old property in a quiet residential stretch of Bellaterra, shaded terraces and all, sets the tone for what's inside: a contemporary dining room where the kitchen leans hard on seasonal ingredients and traditional Catalan instincts. The menu moves between à la carte, daily fish specials, and a tasting menu you can also raid dish by dish. Rice is a serious subject here, and the room tends to fill with people who already know that.



  50. A restored farmhouse on the Costa Brava road, with a garden terrace and a Michelin star, Els Tinars is the kind of Catalan restaurant that takes the fish auction in Palamós as seriously as any kitchen on the coast. The à la carte runs long and traditional, though two set menus exist for those who prefer the kitchen to decide. The Palamós prawn tartare, dressed according to the season, is the dish regulars order without looking up.


  51. The name means mackerel in Catalan, a fish famous for costing almost nothing, and the pricing philosophy follows suit. This fusion tapas spot next door to the more serious Lluerna shares the same kitchen talent but trades the formality for shared plates, raciones, and set menus built for two. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand. Young and a little loud in the best way, it's the kind of room where nobody's overthinking it.


  52. A contemporary pizza restaurant in Lloret de Mar where the dough gets a long, slow fermentation before it sees any heat. The menu moves through classic pies, local Catalan ingredients, Neapolitan-rooted recipes, and seasonal specials, so there's always a reason to revisit. The wine and beer list pulls from both Italian and Spanish producers, and the team talks through each pizza like they mean it. Noted in 50 Top Pizza Europe.




  53. Rank 66. ABaC

    Catalan Mediterranean

    Jordi Cruz holds three Michelin stars here, and the tasting menu opens in the kitchen, which is either exciting or a little nerve-racking depending on your relationship with chefs. The dining room looks onto a garden hung with contemporary art, and the cooking moves through Catalan and Mediterranean flavors with enough technical ambition that one dessert is essentially an edible perfume. Dress well and clear your evening.


  54. The wood-fired oven inside a converted garage in Sant Cugat is hard to miss, and it sets the tone for this neighborhood pizzeria with a slow-food sensibility. Long-fermented dough anchors a menu that moves from classic Neapolitan to riffs built around local ingredients like sobrasada and Cantabrian anchovies. Natural Italian wines round things out. It earned a spot on 50 Top Pizza Europe's Excellent Pizzerias list, which the regulars probably knew already.


  55. Rank 68. Bo.TiC

    Mediterranean

    A two-Michelin-star restaurant set in a converted carriage factory in a sleepy Baix Empordà village, which is exactly the kind of detail that makes you trust a place before you've eaten anything. Two minimalist dining rooms sit inside old stone walls, and the kitchen is open for a look. The chef runs tasting menus that lean on Catalan tradition while pulling in Japanese vegetables grown nearby. The wine list leans toward small producers, with a solid selection by the glass.


  56. Rank 69. Lasarte

    Basque Spanish

    The undulating ceiling mimics waves and the lamps look like jellyfish, which tells you something about the ambition before the food even arrives. This is a three-Michelin-star fine dining restaurant in the Eixample, run by Paolo Casagrande under the considerable shadow of Martín Berasategui. The menu threads Basque technique through an avant-garde Barcelonan lens, and the private Il Milione room, for two to eight, takes the whole thing further into ceremony.


  57. The "living table" changes shape as the meal unfolds, which sets the tone for what this three-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant is doing in Eixample. The three chefs came up through El Bulli and brought the obsession with it, turning out courses that bend texture and form in ways that are genuinely hard to describe sober. Book well ahead, then book again, because the waiting list is not a rumor.


  58. Three cooking stations rise from the center of the dining room like a stage set, with tables arranged around them under drifting clouds of softly lit fixtures. This is a fine dining restaurant from the Torres twins, and it holds two Michelin stars and a spot on the World's 50 Best list. The menu leans into seasonal Mediterranean cooking with a light hand, and five sommeliers manage the wine cellar, which is either reassuring or mildly intimidating depending on your relationship with wine lists.


  59. A modern restaurant on the third floor of a hotel in Badalona, with floor-to-ceiling views across the Mediterranean that do a lot of the heavy lifting before the food even arrives. The kitchen runs open, with a chef's table for anyone who wants a front-row seat to the experimentation. The menu leans into mixing and playing with ingredients, and tasting menus are available for those happy to hand over the decisions entirely.



  60. The undulating ceiling in the dining room nods to the Guggenheim Bilbao's titanium plates, which is an odd and completely successful flex for a Catalan Modernisme landmark on Paseo de Gràcia. This is a tasting-menu restaurant with two Michelin stars, run by Paulo Airaudo's team, leaning on local and seasonal ingredients with wine pairings served by the glass. The room alone would fill the room; the cooking gives people an actual reason to book.


  61. The ceiling looks like it's floating, and that's before the food starts. Albert Adrià's tasting menu restaurant carries two Michelin stars and a spot on the World's 50 Best list, and the roughly 25-course menu is divided into chapters named for ingredients, with many preparations finished tableside. The lineage from elBulli is not subtle. Book months out, and don't expect to know what you ordered until they tell you.


  62. Rank 76. Kamikaze

    Fusion, Creative

    The name refers to "divine wind," which gives you a sense of the ambition level before you sit down. This Eixample tasting-menu spot is the project of a chef trained at Disfrutar, and it holds a Michelin star for a kitchen that runs Asian technique through a Mediterranean filter, leaning hard on seasonal Catalan ingredients. A single evolving menu changes each season, so returning guests have a reason to come back, and first-timers have no decisions to make.


  63. An all-white dining room inside the Hotel Arts, designed with the kind of meticulous calm that makes you lower your voice without being asked. Paco Pérez holds two Michelin stars here for Mediterranean cooking that leans on sea cucumbers from the Mar d'Amunt and produce with a faint coastal salinity, quietly arguing that local ingredients can carry a fine-dining menu further than invention alone. Dress accordingly.


  64. Rank 78. Prodigi

    Catalan

    The name is a portmanteau of three neighboring streets, which is a better origin story than most restaurants get. Prodigi is a Michelin-starred modern Catalan restaurant where the chef updates traditional forms with quiet international detours, letting seasonal ingredients do the talking. The menu is concise but comes with a longer tasting option for those who want the full argument. The room is contemporary and composed, the cooking more so.


  65. The concept here is "sincretismo," a word the Royal Spanish Academy defines as the combination of different theories or attitudes, which turns out to be a tidy label for what three friends from Costa Rica, Colombia, and Spain are doing in this Michelin-starred dining room. Mediterranean red shrimp meets Latin American yellow chili; cuttlefish tartare gets a jalapeño gazpacho. Two tasting menus run alongside the à la carte, and the designer interior leaves the old bistro that used to occupy the space well behind.


  66. Rank 80. Caelis

    Creative

    The hotel facade studded with sculptural eyeballs watching you arrive sets the tone for Romain Fornell's one-Michelin-star fine-dining room inside the Ohla Barcelona. Copper pans hang over an open kitchen, and a U-shaped chef's table seats fourteen around the action. The cooking tilts French but roots itself in the Mediterranean, with tasting menus that lean into the theatrics of getting guests involved rather than just feeding them quietly.


  67. Rank 81. Hofmann

    Modern New American

    The large kitchen window is the tell: this is a working culinary school that also happens to hold a Michelin star, and the cooks on the other side of the glass are students earning their stripes. Lunch runs à la carte; evenings shift to tasting menus. The cooking is modern and technique-forward, rooted enough in tradition to feel anchored. Save room for dessert, which the school takes as a point of professional pride.


  68. The mochi filled with Iberian sobrasada and Mahón cheese is the dish regulars cite first, which tells you something about how this two-Michelin-starred gastro-bar operates. The room feels like a lively bar that somehow also takes cooking very seriously, with seasonal small plates and sharing dishes built around ingredients from the Val d'Aran region. Order at least a few snacks or the kitchen won't be impressed with you.


  69. Rank 83. Hisop

    Catalan

    Named after an aromatic Mediterranean herb, this Michelin-starred restaurant tucks into a quiet Barcelona passage and serves creative Catalan cooking that shifts with the seasons. The chef's instinct runs toward playful combinations that surprise without showing off, and the tasting menu rotates every few months to keep regulars guessing. The room is contemporary and calm, the kind of place where the food does the talking.


  70. Rank 84. Moments

    Mediterranean

    The fine-dining room inside the Mandarin Oriental runs on Catalan tradition reshaped by a chef who grew up inside one of the great kitchens of the region. Carme Ruscalleda's son Raül Balam runs the kitchen, and the family lineage shows without overwhelming his own hand. Two seasonal menus change throughout the year, the room glows in amber and gold, and a window onto the kitchen means you can watch the precision from your seat. It holds a Michelin star.


  71. Rank 85. Atempo

    Contemporary New American

    Guests are walked through two separate kitchens, one hot, one cold, for snacks before they ever reach the dining room, which sets the tone nicely. This is a contemporary fine dining restaurant designed around the tasting menu format, with menus conceived by Jordi Cruz and executed tableside in ways that make the finish of each dish part of the show. It holds a Michelin star.


  72. Rank 86. Via Veneto

    Classic French

    The pressed roast duck has been on the menu since before most diners were born, which tells you everything about the philosophy here. Via Veneto is a formal classic French restaurant in a genuine Belle Époque room, the kind with white tablecloths and a wine cellar six meters underground. A Michelin star. Seasonal game, old-school technique, and a cellar that serious drinkers come specifically to raid.


  73. Rank 87. Angle

    New American

    Heavy curtains and floor lamps set a quietly elegant mood in this fine dining room tucked inside the Hotel Cram, though Angle has its own street entrance on Aragó. Jordi Cruz's name is on the door, and the kitchen follows his modern, creative approach through a tasting menu that borrows dishes from his three-starred ABaC alongside its own. One Michelin star. Leave room for dessert, which reportedly takes its time making a point.


  74. You have to knock to get in, which sets the tone for a Japanese fine dining room that takes itself seriously without being cold about it. Hideki Matsuhisa holds a Michelin star for his work pairing Japanese technique with Mediterranean ingredients, served at a dramatic U-shaped counter or quieter tables nearby. A wood-fired oven sits in the middle of the room, which feels like exactly the right amount of audacity.


  75. Guests begin with house-made vermouth in the Faifó before moving into a dining room that traces the chef's journey from rural Tarragona to Barcelona. Cinc Sentits is a two-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant where self-taught chef Jordi Artal builds modern Catalan cuisine around small producers and fermented things the kitchen makes itself. Two menus run the evening, with non-alcoholic pairings that don't feel like an afterthought.


  76. Rank 90. Dos Palillos

    Asian fusion Spanish

    The front sake bar takes walk-ins; the U-shaped counter around the open kitchen does not, and that's the one you want a reservation for. Dos Palillos holds a Michelin star for its fusion of Asian technique and Iberian ingredients, a combination that sounds like a concept pitch but eats like a genuine point of view. Tasting menus only at the counter, tapas philosophy throughout, and tables packed close enough to feel like Tokyo.


  77. Rank 91. Alkimia

    Catalan

    You ring a bell to get in, which sets the tone. Alkimia sits inside the Moritz brewery complex, a fine dining room positioned right in front of the open kitchen, with designer nods to the sea and salvaged furniture that reads like a Catalan manor house got a very good edit. Chef Jordi Vilà holds a Michelin star and runs a single tasting menu rooted in Catalan tradition, leaning heavily toward fish and the coast.


  78. Rank 92. Brabo

    Grills

    The bread arrives first, grilled in a pan over coals and served with smoked butter, and the chefs at this wood-fire steakhouse are the first to admit nobody forgets it. Open flames handle everything from Friesian chuletón to whole fish to seasonal vegetables, and the dry-aged beef programme takes provenance seriously enough to include rare Gascón pigs from France. The room is dim, warm, and close to the kitchen, which is the point.



  79. A 17th-century farmhouse in a tiny stone mountain village in the Costa Brava hinterland, dressed by owners who spent years as interior decorators in Barcelona. The menu wanders between international dishes and Catalan classics, with daily market specials keeping things from getting too settled. Eat on the terrace if you can; the village square it overlooks does most of the heavy lifting for atmosphere.


  80. Rank 95. Slow & Low

    International New American

    Two counter seats wrap an open kitchen near the Sant Antoni market, putting the whole creative process at arm's length. Slow & Low is a tasting-menu restaurant with a Michelin star and a globe-trotting sensibility, pulling from Mexico, Argentina, Thailand, and Spain in a way that sounds chaotic but somehow holds together. The chefs double as servers and walk you through each dish, which at this kind of place is either charming or a lot, depending on your mood.


  81. Rank 96. Fishølogy

    Mediterranean Seafood

    The name contains a Danish zero and a Greek suffix, which tells you something about how seriously this Michelin-starred seafood restaurant takes its own concept. The kitchen cures, smokes, and matures fish and shellfish into what they call "charcuterie of the sea," then serves it in dishes built from Spanish ingredients with Italian and Asian detours. Tasting menus are named after ocean depths, because of course they are.


  82. Rank 97. Saó

    Creative New American

    The name translates loosely as "ripeness" or "the right moment," which sets the tone for a creative restaurant in uptown Barcelona where seasonal Catalan produce gets a quietly French education. The chef spent years in Paris before bringing those instincts home, and the menu shows it without making a fuss. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand. Three set menus to choose from, and the savoury crema catalana with foie is the dish people keep talking about.


  83. Rank 98. Berbena

    Creative

    A sourdough-and-smoked-butter opener sets the tone at this small, informal creative restaurant in the Eixample: seasonal Catalan cooking with quiet detours through Asia and South America, all available in half or even quarter portions so you can cover more ground. The wine list runs to over 600 bottles with 30-plus by the glass, and the coffee comes from a nearby specialty roaster. The Michelin Guide has awarded it a Bib Gourmand.


  84. Rank 99. La Cuina de Can Simón

    Contemporary Mediterranean

    A gastronomic restaurant tucked against the medieval walls of Tossa de Mar, the coastal town that once charmed Marc Chagall into staying. Three siblings run the kitchen, drawing on a family line split between artists and fishermen, which explains why the cooking leans hard into daily-caught fish and seafood bought straight from the local auction. Inland Costa Brava gets its moment too, in rice dishes and meat cuts that remind you the mountains are right there.


  85. Rank 100. Suto

    Japanese

    The handmade crockery came from the chef's aunt, which tells you something about how Suto operates. This tiny omakase counter near Sants station seats a handful of guests at a bar, all eating the same menu at the same time while Yoshikazu Suto cooks in front of them. It feels less like a restaurant than a dinner party you somehow got invited to. It holds a Michelin star, and the nigiri alone make that easy to believe.
