New Restaurants in Barcelona - Summer 2026 Edition
Summer 2026 has brought over 104 new restaurant openings to Barcelona: Think burgers and vinyl, modern Filipino fare, a Mexican marisquería, New York-style pizza, several new taco joints, Japanese burgers paired with local wine, exciting vegan and vegetarian restaurants, Catalan cooking with an Indonesian twist, wine bars... and a whole lot more.
This is my full round-up of the best new restaurants in Barcelona this season, updated as the city keeps opening.
PS: I haven’t been to all of these obviously, ain’t nobody got time for that. I want this post to be informative and you can pick out the ones that sound interesting to you. I have visited all the ones with my photos, and below in My To Go-list I’ve added the spots that I’m prioritizing my visit to, they sound awesome! Are you missing a spot that should be on this list? Drop me a line!
To Go-list
La Joyita is a Mexican marisquería which I find is an interesting and refreshing new addition to the food scene in Barcelona, specifically in Gràcia. Torrent de l’Olla 143. IG: @lajoyita_bcn.
Imahe won’t open until October but I am very excited, and I wanted to share it with you so you can keep your eyes on it. It’s a Modern Filipino Kitchen, and I’ve been missing this since years and years when Hawker 45 unfortunately closed. I have a hunch this will be very good. Follow them on IG: @imahe.bcn.
I am incredibly curious about new El Cuadrat, run by the El Rectangle team. It has opened in the space that used to be Varmuteo. It’s a no-reservations spot for natural wine and tapas, and they have a terrace. IG: @elcuadrat. C/ Vilamarí 3 (Sant Antoni).
Salut Bar is the new sister spot to Salut Bistró (read my review here), with a focus on tapas and wine. I love their big sister, and I will most definitely swing by here, too. C/ d’Enric Granados 58 (Example Esquerra). IG: @salutbarbcn.
I know very little about new Martin Pascal in Sants, but I’m intrigued. On their IG profile they say Despensa Salada & Cultura de Mesa, and I find that fascinating. C/ Vallespir 73 (Sants). IG: @martinpascalbcn.
Just next to the museum Palau Martorell there’s a newly opened café called Tarannà, and it looks both beautiful and enormous. This is definitely a spot I want to visit, after a spot in the museum (you get 10% discount in the café if you show your ticket!). Carrer Ample 13 (Gòtic). IG: @taranna_palaumartorell.
The somm at awesome Berbena has opened his own place called Piedra together with a partner, and it looks excellent. Carrer d’Amigo 33 (Sarrià-Sant Gervasi). IG: @piedrabcn.
Bodega Sagarra on C/ d’en Xuclà 9 (El Raval) has a charming 70s vibe to it, and they serve montaditos, tapas, and dishes to share. They also have a terrace. Behind it is successful Grup Confiteria, famed for catching the bar vibes very well. IG: @bodegasagarra.
The concept of new Sarau is interesting: a space that hosts different, changing chefs for a couple of weeks, and who prepare tasting menus for the guests. On their IG profile you can see who is the current chef. The price of the tasting menu is fixed: 85€. Carrer Tavern 11 (Sarrià-Sant Gervasi). IG: @saraubarcelona.
A new bar has opened in El Clot called Filoso, serving wine, dishes from the grill, and escabeches (a very specific combo!). Looks great! IG: @filoso.bar_ Carrer de la Nació, 30 (El Clot).
I can't wait to try new Salvatge, a little tapas/tasting spot inside the Mercat de la Concepció in Eixample, just next to their market stand. I love these kind of spots. IG: @salvatge_.
Others
In the space that used to be Tickets and Teatro is now Osteria Condal, and opened its doors on July 23rd. Head chef is Paolo Casagrande (also famous for three Michelin stars at Lasarte). You can check the menu and prices here. Parallel 164 (Sant Antoni). IG: @osteriacondal.

New Casa Clarete (not to be confused with Clarete, the wine bar in Putxet) looks like a nice no-frills kind of place, with a lunch menu on weekdays.

Happen to live in L’Hospitalet or close by? Then you’re in luck, because Animal Coffee has opened a shop there. You can buy lots of their coffees, and also have one to go if you wish (they keep different coffees rotation so you can try something new every time).
I passed by a new bakery on Diagonal the other day called Mapa Bread, open every day and where they’re using ancient grains and natural fermentation for their baked goods. They also serve coffee from Sip Coffeeroasters. Diagonal 368 (Eixample Dreta). IG: @mapa.bread.

Museo del Café is a new museum showcasing the history of coffee and its culture, with one of the biggest collection of items related to coffee in the world: 2000 rare artifacts and a dedicated library with more than 1200 books. It’s all dedicated to the art, history, and evolution of coffee. What a great new addition to the city! Via Laietana 36 (close to Mercat de Santa Caterina). IG: @coffeemuseumbarcelona.
Kind Kitchen is a 100% plant based restaurant, with its roots in Portugal. The dishes are interesting, unusual, and very non-boring, and they have a lunch deal. Plaça Narcís Oller (Gràcia). IG: @kindkitchen.bcn.
A trip to Castelldefels now in summer is a good idea, and there is a great new reason to go: La Mar de Gamberra. It’s a sister restaurant to La Gamberra (Sant Boi, Castelldefels), and opens on August 6th. Pg. Marítim 198. IG: @lamardegamberra.

One of the most surprising new openings might just be Fast Eddie’s who’s opening a kiosk! It’s called Fred and they will be offering coffee, magazines, and collectible cards. Find them on C/ Nàpols 227 (Eixample Dreta). IG: @fred.kiosko.
New Vecina (next to Vereda) is now it’s in full swing! Well, kind of, it’s open only on weekends from 13h onwards, with drinks and little snacks to go, and some things for your home. It’s on Carrer de la Diputació 155 (Eixample Esquerra).
There is a new café in Poblenou called Juliathat looks interesting. They serve coffee from Dalston, and great-looking sweet and savoury pastries that they make themselves. Find it on Ramón Turró 85 (Poblenou). IG. @juliacafe.bcn.
Mash Bar is about to open soon, and from what I understand, due to its name, it’s closely linked to the famous Mash beer festival that takes place every autumn in Barcelona. There will be craft beer, natural wine, and Barcelona’s first pizzetta kitchen. IG: @mashbarbcn.
Hidden Coffee, one of Barcelona’s most famous roasters, has a new little beachside chiringuito in the Barceloneta, it’s called Hidden Oasis, it’s pretty cute. They’ve opened it together with the W hotel, on Passeig del Mare Nostrum 22. IG: @hiddencoffeeroasters.

Fonik, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.
I visited new Fonik Café in Sant Antoni recently (and repeatedly) and I very much liked the vibe. It’s a cool place, with vinyl records (and players!), specialty coffee, a little something to snack on, and ice cream. I’ve tried a iced strawberry matcha (which I liked), a peach matcha that was really fun (+ a great sandwich), and my friend had a cold brew foam which she LOVED. And the team is nice. You can read my review here. Tamarit 104 (Sant Antoni). IG: @fonik.cafe.
Bar Guindilla is vermouth and tapas bar where the food looks pretty good. It has a privileged location on a plaça (Plaça Artós in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi), so I bet it will be popular. IG: @barguindilla.
Tempera Gelato is not any ice cream shop: they specialize in chocolate ice cream. That’s pretty cool (no pun intended). And they also offer pastries. C/ París 178 (Eixample Esquerra). IG: @temperagelato.
Badalona is always worth keeping an eye on, and now there’s another new place, called Fissura. It’s a cool new cafe with a minimalist look, and I have a feeling it will be worth visiting. Carrer de Ribas I Perdigó 14 (Badalona). IG: @fissuracafe.
Bar Brutal has opened a shop! In Bazar Brutal you’ll find design objects, merch, coffee, olive oil, t-shirts, music, books, glassware, and a whole lot more on their shelves. Sounds fun! C/ Princesa 14 (Born). IG: @bazarbrutalbcn.
Madame Saigon is a new Vietnamese restaurant that looks very cute, and the food looks good too. C/ Aragó 238 (Eixample Esquerra). IG: @madamesaigon.es.
Craving Italian food and want to try something new? Then maybe Pompapi is worth a visit. They offer home-made Italian food made with lots of care. They also offer bowls made to order. Carrer de Ramon Trias Fargas 40 (Vila Olímpica). IG: @pompapi_bcn.
Want something different? There’s a Longevity Coffee Bar that has just opened, and my curiosity was immediately peaked. I visited, and was impressed by the variety of drinks, ranging from many different matcha options (think Zanzibar vanilla matcha, coconut cloud matcha, cherry matcha etc), to cool shakes with extras like collagen. It’s called Rove Vital House, and you can follow them on IG: @rovevitalhouse. Carrer de Bori i Fontestà 20 (Sarrià-Sant Gervasi).
Takata-Ke by chef Takata (known from Uribou) has now opened its doors on C/ Saragossa 2 (Putxet). They do a lunch menu during the day (check IG or Google for the exact opening hours). They don’t take reservations, and you can’t take photos for social media or Google Maps. IG: takata_ke.
There’s a cool new pizza place in town! It is called Sacred Slice Pizza, it opened in June, and they’re promising true New York style pizza (and they know what they’re talking about). I’d also try their home-made chocolate fudge cake! Roger de Llúria 155 (Gràcia). IG: @sacredsclicepizza_bcn.
Okami is a new restaurant combining Japanese and Mediterranean gastronomy, where the recipes are said to be surprising and innovative. Find Okami on C/ Marià Cubí 201 (Sarrià-Sant Gervasi). IG: @okami.bcn.
There’s another new taco place, this one in Les Corts! Isn’t it great that we are seeing a taco influx, finally? It’s called Los Tacos Muñoz, and not only does it look good, but it also seems like the real deal. They also have veggie options. C/ Vallespir 51 (Les Corts). IG: @lostacosmunoz.
I will definitely do a detour to Castelldefels and visit new Sobi Nam: a gorgeous coffee and concept store. A sight for sore eyes. Carrer del Doctor Ferran 44. IG: @sobi_nam_.
La Modernista is a new churros spot, on Aragó 250 (Eixample Esquerra), very close to Passeig de Gràcia. It undoubtedly has a very modernist vibe! IG: @churrosbcn.

A Turkish brunch spot, now that’s something new in the city! They do freshly baked simit, traditional dishes, and a truffle kuymak that apparently is their specialty. It’s called Snob and they’re on Carrer del Consolat de Mar 15 (Born). IG: @snob_barcelona.
Caminito Cafe is a new café in Eixample serving specialty coffee, on C/ Aribau 218 (Sarrià-Sant Gervasi). IG: @caminitocafebcn.
I wrote this in the previous list of new restaurants in Barcelona:
Bottega Bernacca comes all the way from São Paulo (with 5 restaurants there), and lands in Barcelona with its standout Italian cuisine. The location hasn’t been disclosed yet, but we know it’s in Gràcia. IG: @bottegabernaccabcn.
Now it has opened, and it seems to be quite popular among lovers of pasta. The carciofi all romana is highly recommended apparently. The restaurant is located on C/ Bonavista 10 (Gràcia).
Enric Granados has a new café called Vanilla Specialty Coffee, where they seem to take coffee pretty seriously. And they sport a terrace! Enric Granados 24 (Eixample Esquerra). IG: @vanillacoffee.es.
I’m curious about the new (re)set Matcha Bar: not only does it look great but they also promise a functional twist to it. Sounds good to me! It also looks cool. And you can get your matcha in a can if you wish. C/ Casanova 189 (Example Esquerra). IG: @resetmatchabar.
Tiberi Club (behind the cool Tiberi Bar) has opened little Tiberi Kiosk on a beautiful plaça in the Gòtic neighborhood, with a little something to drink and to eat. It’s a cute, bright red spot and I can’t wait to swing by. Plaça Sant Iu 5 (Gòtic). IG: @tiberi.kiosk.

Hermanos Torres, together with the group Pantea (Can Fisher, Superlocal, Público, etc.) have opened a restaurant with market-fresh food called Parada Torres inside the Santa Caterina market in the Born.

Find Romo on Carrer de Buenos Aires 28 (Eixample Esquerra). IG: @romopizza.
Brew Coffee is one of the best specialty coffee spots in the city, and owner Junzhi Liu is extremely talented as both a barista and latte art creation (this year he was in the top 10 in the world!).

Tacos Guzmán, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.
I visited new Tacos Guzman with their Tijuana-style street food in El Raval, and it was just as good as I hoped it would be. Read more about the visit here. Sant Pau 27 (El Raval). IG: @tacosguzmanbcn.
Popular Garden Pizza is in the 50 top world (1!) artisan pizza chains 2025, they have a green oven award in 2025 for sustainability, and a Repsol Solete. They are already established in Granollers, Igualada, Terrassa, and Sant Cugat, and now finally they’ve opened in Barcelona, too. I’d say it is definitely worth visiting. They have taken over the big space that used to be Roots & Rolls. Consell de Cent 401 (Eixample Dreta). IG: @gardenpizza_.
Casa Antonio is a new restaurant that goes all in with everything traditional in terms of food, but also the interior. When it comes to dishes, think macarrones, albóndigas, gildas, and all the things. Sounds great to me! C/Aribau 152 (Eixample Esquerra). IG: @casaantonio_
A cocktail bar that brings us back to Barcelona in the 50s can be found inside Hotel Espanya in the Raval. They also serve tapas along their cocktails. I passed by the place and it looked lovely! Carrer de Sant Pau, 9-11 (El Raval). IG: @doritacocktail_bar.
Sants Es Crema is a favorite of many, and the fans will be happy to hear they have opened a new restaurant called Bitxo Taverna. Chefs Jordi and Jordi combines Catalan food with an Indonesian flair, and I find that incredibly interesting. C/ Riego 43 (Sants). IG: @bitxotaverna.
Fresora is a new restaurant serving bowls and healthy food where you have a lot of options to choose from, and you can make your own bowls with the toppings you like best. The newest one is on Pelai 5, and the first location (also recently opened) is on C/Mallorca 334 (Eixample Dreta). IG: @fresora.coo.
Sal y Salvia, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.
Sal y Salvia is a very charming new spot in Les Corts. They put so much love and care into their dishes and drinks, and you can see that they’ve easily converted first-time visitors to regular clients. It’s also the kind of place where you just happen to start talking with the other patrons, which always points to good vibes. The food is vegetarian with plentiful of vegan options, and always prepared with vegetables that are local and in season. I loved everything I had on our visit: the hash browns (the best I’ve ever had) with harissa, the beautiful toast, the fun gilda (they won an honorable mention in the neighborhood tapas contest recently!), among other things. They do breakfast and brunch on weekends, and a really good lunch deal during the week. I highly recommend a visit! Carrer de Galileu, 282 (Les Corts). IG: @salysalviabarcelona.

Maiz Maiz is where chef Nico de la Vega (from Milpa), born in Mexico, is taking his skills from high-end restaurants and applying them into simple, straighforward and delicious dishes. It looks fantastic, and I’m excited to try it. Avinguda Mistral 73 (Sant Antoni). IG: @maizmaizbcn.
Maison Choux does specialty coffee, matcha, hojicha, and cute choux pastries. It looks cute and very promising! Passeig Sant Joan 180 (Eixample Dreta). IG: @maisonchouxbarcelona.
Another new Mexican spot: Tacos El Veneno. Les Corts does not exactly have an abundance of Mexican restaurants, so this is great news. Carrer de Bordeus 2. IG: @tacoselvenenobcn.
There’s a new pizza spot that has opened in La Textil: it’s called Tercopizza. They’re serving NYC style pizza, and I’ve heard it’s delicious, and tastes like the real deal! IG: @tercopizza. Carrer de Casp, 33B (Eixample Dreta).
Bar Bocata 2, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.

Kina Barra, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.

Kumi is a new Japanese café, and a sister establishment to Kumi Café in Rotterdam. There’s matcha of course, and sweet and savory items. They’re located on C/ Aribau 36 (Eixample Esquerra). IG: @kumi.bcn.

Grupo No Hay Mañana (Malparit, Babula, Madre, Chamako) usually does things right, and they’ve now opened a new restaurant in Poblenou that I really enjoyed.

Mocha, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.
Mocha is an incredibly cute little café close to Sagrada Familia (but away from the crowds!) with the loveliest team of ladies running it (and a charming little pup!). They told us that the beautiful branches they’ve decorated the space with are pieces they collected from a storm that hit the city, I love that little detail. They do specialty coffee (with a shiny Marzocco) and matcha, and something sweet to go with it if you like. I tried the matcha Einspanner and was delighted with how good it was, and also with the size of the drink. I’ve seen the Strawberry Tiramisu and the Matcha Latte Brûlée and they look gorgeous, too..! A lovely experience. C/ Lepanto 258 (Sagrada Familia). IG: @mocha_bcn.

Casa Pampa, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.
I love Casa Pampa so much but I live far, far away from Poblenou so I don’t visit very often. BUT now they have opened a second location in Sant Antoni, which is amazing news!

Lovely Platerets in Gràcia has also closed. This is such a shame, their menu del día was really great with lots of options, and the place was cozy.
Very sad news: groundbreaking slow-food vegetarian restaurant Rasoterra has closed after 13 years. Their last day open was May 3rd. Hopefully we will see them somewhere else soon!
Ginnan, run by chef Chunlin Yu, has closed recently. But I’m sure we’ll see him soon with a new project!
Popular burger place Cabrona de Barri has unfortunately closed its Sant Andreu location, but they are still going strong in Sant Martí.

Very sadly Ona in Poblenou has done its last service this month. This 6-seats only, 16 dishes or more experience is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a while, and they will be very, very missed. Ona was one of a kind and I have some truly beautiful memories from my visits.
Casa Leopoldo in the Raval used to be a meeting point for writers and artists, it first opened in 1936 and has been an important part of the restaurant scene in Barcelona. Now unfortunately it has closed its doors.
Cruixent, a bakery in Poblenou, open since 2012, will close its doors on July 31st. We wish them the best of luck!
Super cute El Flako have closed their doors after 10 years, but they will continue their adventures with a different concept at @gira.barcelona. Think wines, cocktails, and food, somewhere in the Gòtic. Looking forward to it!
Also Canalla Urban Food has closed. They had both a restaurant and a food truck, and we are sorry to see them go.
Popular Fella Pizza has closed after 5 years, we hope they will return with a new project at some point.
