Colmado Múrria is a century-old gastronomic shop in the Eixample. Its modernista style, with dark wood and products displayed in glass jars, transports you to the grocers of a bygone era. But it’s not just the setting that makes it special: its selection of gourmet Catalan and international products stands out too, from cheeses and preserves to wines. Whatever you’re after, Joan Múrria and his team will help you find the perfect addition to your dinner. And while you’re there, why not enjoy a little tasting? Though it feels like a time capsule, Colmado Múrria is a place to rediscover the simple pleasures of shopping and eating well.
This is good to know
The marble counter, in place since 1898, still presides over the shop – a silent witness to neighbourhood stories and endless after-dinner conversations.
Look closely at the modernista façade and you’ll spot original advertising reliefs and period details from the Eixample: a small cabinet of gastronomic curiosities.
Step inside, take a seat and ask about the signature small plates. Colmado Múrria remains a haven for anyone seeking authenticity and quality, without any pretence.
