If you feel like taking a break from eating in the urban center of Sants, head to this restaurant in the green and natural hub of the neighborhood, Montjuic‘s mountain park. While only a few steps away from the Mirò Foundation and Mercat de les Flors, La Font Del Gat is located in the middle of a densely wooded garden which makes it feel like something from a fairy tale. The sounds of the city seem far away here, and you can enjoy the delicious modern and contemporary cuisine outside, in the beautiful garden terrace designed by modernist Laribal.
Inside the almost Gingerbread house-like building, you will find a charming modernist restaurant, considered one of the most romantic in the city. Head chef Pau Reventós and his team serve exceptional traditional Catalan cuisine with a modern touch, along with an exceptional selection of wines. The perfect place to chill out, or to bring that special person on a romantic Barcelona date!
Address: Passeig de Santa Madrona, 28
