More than 80 years in Barcelona offering the best traditional gastronomy in a familiar and fun atmosphere.
Opened in 1942 by Joan Balsells i Torres and Balbina Garrido, Bodega Joan began its commercial activities with the bulk sale of Catalan wines. During the first decade of its history it was transformed into a restaurant, offering a magnificent menu of traditional specialties with seasonal dishes. Its variety of traditional Catalan recipes, served with generosity and its iconic dishes, synonymous with quality and tradition, are part of the culinary heritage of the city of Barcelona and Eixample.
Nothing better than our customers speaking for us.
"Delicious tapas - some of the best calamari/fried octopus rings on the planet! So fresh, with a wonderful aioli. We enjoyed the reasonable wine list, tasty paella, crispy potatoes bravas and amazing prawns."
"We were 6 people. They explained the menu, recommended Catalan dishes and everything was delicious. I will surely come back and recommend it. Try the arroz caldoso with lobster, especially if it's cold... The paella was very good."
"Enjoyed the night dining with my wife at Bodega Joan. Great good, great time!"
Era el año 1999 cuando las ilusiones de un grupo de amigos, identificados con los mismos intereses, se convirtieron en lo que hoy es la Penya Barcelonista. Entre las actividades realizadas por nuestra peña se pueden enumerar viajes siguiendo a nuestro amado F.C. Barcelona, diferentes actividades culturales y viajes de recreo para nuestros socios.
Cada partido del Barcelona F.C. se convierte en una fiesta en la Bodega Joan.
