Bar Canete · Restaurant · Barcelona
A Raval tapas bar by the Liceu, with a long counter and a kitchen open from 1 pm to midnight.
Bar Canete is a tapas bar and restaurant on Carrer de la Unio in the Raval, a few steps from the Gran Teatre del Liceu. It is listed in the MICHELIN Guide Spain 2026. The house motto is tapeo del fino, and the cooking is traditional Spanish and Catalan, built on fish and shellfish from the Catalan fish markets and seasonal vegetables from local growers.
The room is led by a long counter, with several dining rooms beyond it, some of them reached by walking through the kitchen. The house story starts with a family that came to Barcelona from Seville and ran a string of bars and restaurants before this one.
The current menu starts with coca de cristal with tomato and the ham and chicken croquette, then moves to the open omelet with fresh prawns, scallops from the Galician rias with Iberian ham, grilled octopus with trinxat, tripe with chickpeas and Segovia beans with cod kokotxas. The Canete rice changes daily, and beach red prawns are sauteed to order. Desserts include a rum baba with pina colada and a thin apple tart with vanilla ice cream.
The kitchen runs straight through from 1 pm to midnight, Monday to Saturday, so a late lunch or a supper after the Liceu both fit. Tables in the dining rooms are booked online for parties of two to eight.
Address: Carrer de la Unio 17, El Raval, Ciutat Vella, 08001 Barcelona, Barcelona
