Our Philosophy
ENJOY BARCELONA THROUGH FOOD
Discover Barcelona through our Contracorrent restaurants.
In the lively neighborhood of Fort Pienc, we invite you to enjoy a vibrant menu where every dish reflects the richness of Mediterranean flavors and the culinary traditions of the city.
In Gràcia, experience a more intimate and surprising journey with our midday tasting menu, which changes with the market and the seasons, capturing the essence and freshness of each local ingredient.
