In the heart of the Gracia neighborhood, in Barcelona, there is a restaurant called Verdi82 that opened for the first time in 2007 as a family adventure.

This restaurant reflects the image of its neighborhood with its culture, its hype population with its artisans, artists musicians, etc., and unique architecture with the balconies where people hang their clothes for them to dry in the hot summer wind.

Only a few minutes away from the Parc Guel, it is an authentic venue capturing Gracia’s genuine spirit and reflecting the true Spanish cuisine.

Verdi82 is a very unique restaurant because it is, originally, a family dream-come-true and you can feel the involvement of its creators as soon as you walk in the place. You can instantly notice that a lot of effort has been put into this place.

Not only is the venue beautiful, it features high quality products through traditional and simple dishes. Everything that is served at Verdi82 is homemade and cooked with a lot of care and attention.

All the products and ingredients used to make these delicious dishes are chosen with high quality standard and come from the same supplier since the creation of the restaurant. Each product is special and has its own history.

For example, the ham that you can usually find in the Tapas part of the menu comes from the father’s hometown, Los Santos, a small pueblo (village) near Guijuelo, in Salamancal. That way, it ensures its quality and taste.

Another example would be the meat you can find in the incredibly delicious burgers or beef carpaccios they make. This last one comes from a butcher from the neighbor market close to Girona. Same story for the fish they use to make what could be the best carpaccios you’ve ever tasted. Nothing is left behind; the bread comes from the very same bakery and this for the past five years, etc.

The wine you will find at Verdi82 is also special. Long term partnerships have been created five years ago. The wine list is carefully elaborated so it brings out the food’s flavor and goes along with the different dishes.
In order to see this wine list evolve, the owners take a closer look at different wines and take classes so they can advise better customers and therefore make the most out of the food they offer.

Verdi82 is a place where you feel welcome. The staff is attentive and makes sure you are the most satisfied possible and leave happy and full.

This family business truly makes you feel comfortable and almost at home. It is the perfect romantic place to go on a date, just to have a good time with friends or even plan an entire party. They take large reservations as well; you just need to plan it a few days ahead.

The best time to truly see the family spirit of this unique venue is during the famous “Festes de Gràcia", in August. Even though the restaurant closes down in August, it opens for this special week when millions of people come celebrate this lively and hype neighborhood of Barcelona. Hundreds of cocktails are made for this festive event and people come in to grab a bite and get a good drink before they go on partying.
Verdi82 is a genuine restaurant where you go for more than a simple dinner.

It is a true experience to go there on the gastronomic point of view along with the social and cultural. You cannot leave unhappy or hungry from this place that will rise up your expectation when it comes to Spanish food.
