3 BIENVENIDO (WELCOME) Savour an entirely new experience every time you visit La Vinoteca Barcelona. Welcome to a unique restaurant celebrating the passionate culture and gastronomy of Spain. With daily changes in the menu, no two visits will be the same. During the 700-year Arab rule of Spain, Arabs laid the foundation for a new gastronomic style, introducing spices and ingredients that inspired many Spanish dishes. This influence can be found throughout the menu, which includes a selection of authentic Spanish tapas, mains and desserts. Our tapas dishes can be enjoyed in Mezza style by sharing among friends in a relaxed and casual setting or as a light snack. Prepared by La Vinoteca Barcelona s celebrated chefs, they will win over your taste buds with their flavours and aromas. Connoisseurs of wine will appreciate our premium selection of Torres wines, alternatively you may be tempted by our great range of non-alcoholic cocktails to complement your food.
