Set in a sprawling, bustling market space within Barcelona’s vibrant mercado de Santa Caterina, Cuines Santa Caterina is a casual, family-friendly lunch place on the first floor of the complex. The cafe’s menu features fresh and seasonal market ingredients sourced from the in-house Mercat Santa Caterina, boasting a wide range of Spanish tapas classics such as perfectly salty pimentos di padrones, to-die-for ham and cheese croquettas, tortilla espanol oozing with cheese and fried onion, and a wealth of other delicious small-plates. The dining space is enormous with stylish interiors featuring wooden communal tables and a soaring bookshelves with one of the best selection of cookbooks in town. Our favourite place to dine is at the intimate tapas bar, where you’ll have a front row seat of the action.
