The historic grocer in the Eixample, open since 1898, has expanded its offerings. Alongside an engaging delicatessen section featuring Catalan and international products, it now includes a bar and high tables for informal tapas, as well as a gourmet restaurant tucked away at the back, seating eight diners. The menu, crafted by chef Jordi Vilà (Alkimia, Al Kostat), revisits traditional slow-cooked dishes with a contemporary touch: onion-braised squid, tuna fricandó, and “capipota” in black lard. Before moving on to dessert, it is advisable to order some cheese. It does not disappoint.
This is good to know
Visit the texture workshop, a space where you can test products and experience their absorption, finish, and sensations before making a choice.
Although the shop is open for free visits, analyses, treatments, and workshops work better with prior booking. Skin may improvise, but the schedule does not.
