Gresca · Restaurant · Barcelona
A small-plates restaurant with an open kitchen and a grill on Carrer de Provenca in the Eixample.
Gresca is a contemporary small-plates restaurant at Carrer de Provenca 230, in the Eixample. Chef Rafa Pena opened it in 2006, and it is listed in the MICHELIN Guide Spain 2026.
The MICHELIN inspectors describe an open kitchen that connects the bar area to the dining room, and the booking page offers a choice of low tables or high tables. The format is a la carte, with plates sized for sharing.
The current menu starts with grilled oysters, anchovies, marinated mackerel and a profiterole filled with anchovy, fresh cheese and roasted pepper, then moves to glazed eggplant with parmesan cream, a bikini of Iberian loin, and a pizza of stracchino, spring onion and fresh oregano. The grill takes the larger plates: quail, rabbit, monkfish, chicken, veal sweetbreads with leeks and butter, and dry-aged beef txuleta cut by weight. Pilpil cod with tripe and roasted red pepper sits alongside. Dessert is French toast, chocolate tart or vanilla and mascarpone profiteroles, and the wine list is published separately.
Gresca serves lunch and dinner every day of the week. Lunch tables start at 1:30 p.m. and dinner tables at 8 p.m., and the last dinner booking offered online is at 10 p.m.
