Cal Pep

A Barcelona institution, Cal Pep is a traditional Catalan restaurant known for its authentic home-style cooking. They offer a variety of tapas and larger plates featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and it's a great place to experience the flavors of Catalonia. (Price Range: €€-€€€)


Cal Pep has been featured on a couple different food shows so it’s extremely popular. There also isn’t much space, a bar and some standing room behind it. You’ll often find a line waiting to get it. Once you do sit down and let the cooks do their work. 

This tapas bar offers a wide variety of fresh seafood and classic Catalan dishes. Be prepared for a wait, as it’s very popular, but many say it's worth it for the experience.
