In Barcelona, every event deserves a special setting. At Somos Esencia we have been working for years to turn congresses, family celebrations, birthdays or corporate events into memorable experiences. Our restaurants, located in strategic points of the city, offer versatile spaces and Mediterranean cuisine designed to accompany any occasion with authenticity and flavor.
We know that no two celebrations are the same. That is why at Somos Esencia we take care of every detail. From varied menus adapted to any dietary restriction, support in the ambience of the space or the rhythm of the service. The long experience of our team in the organization of events in Barcelona allows us to adapt to the expectations of each client, always with our own style that unites local produce, hospitality and that Mediterranean character that defines us.
Dynamic spaces in the heart of the city: GatoPardo and Tierra Brava
Gato Pardo is a place designed for those who need space and flexibility. Its main room allows large groups to gather and is ideal for company dinners, presentations, private parties or family gatherings. Its modern and elegant design is suitable for both formal events and more relaxed celebrations. It also has a private room with an adaptable layout that allows you to customize both the sitting room and create different atmospheres in the same space.
Tierra Brava, on the other hand, bets for a fresh and Mediterranean atmosphere. It is a restaurant that breathes proximity and authenticity, perfect for groups that want to share tapas, grills and seasonal flavors in a relaxed environment. Birthdays, dinners with friends or informal celebrations find here a natural and cheerful setting, where gastronomy becomes the center of the experience.
On the coast: Brisa and Barraca
Brisa Palau de Mar, located in Palau de Mar itself, has a wraparound terrace that can be enjoyed both in summer and winter thanks to its air conditioning. It is a versatile space that works for small meetings as well as for large group reservations. Its menu, based on rice dishes, tapas and fresh dishes, makes it easy for any event to maintain a Mediterranean and intimate atmosphere, with privileged views of the Port Vell.
Barraca, in the heart of Barceloneta, offers another kind of charm. With two floors, a terrace overlooking the promenade and a warm decor, it is perfect for celebrations looking for authenticity. Its rice dishes and fresh product cuisine make it an ideal place for birthdays, anniversaries or team meetings that want to enjoy the proximity of the sea without sacrificing gastronomic quality.
The kitchen as a common thread
In all our spaces, gastronomy is the true point of union. Our menus for events are designed to share and encourage conversation. They include rice dishes prepared with care, traditional and creative tapas, fresh fish, local meats and vegetarian options that complete an experience open to all tastes. Each proposal is adapted to the group, ensuring that the celebration reflects the identity of those who enjoy it.
