There is a time of year when Barcelona's appetite changes. The cold sets in just enough, people start to crave leisurely midday plans, and barbecues take center stage once again. It's calçots season, that time of year when a meal becomes a ritual, with a tile in the center, romesco sauce, stained hands, laughter, and long after-dinner conversations. And this year, Tierra Brava is celebrating it as it deserves with a new calçotada menu, available on Saturdays and Sundays, designed for couples, friends, or groups to enjoy the weekend around the table.

If you were looking for somewhere to enjoy a calçotada in Barcelona without leaving the city, here's the perfect plan: cuisine with character, a lively atmosphere, and a set menu that makes it easy. Because sometimes what you want most is not to choose between twenty dishes, but to sit down and let yourself be carried away by a clear, coherent menu with seasonal flavors.

Market cuisine and character inside the Mercat del Ninot

Tierra Brava part of the Mercat del Ninot, in the heart of the Eixample district, and this is reflected in its approach to cuisine. Here, the product takes center stage and the restaurant exudes that market vibe that makes everything more direct: fresher, more real, more "today we're having this." Added to this foundation is the restaurant's own style, with a Mediterranean menu full of personality, with a special focus on grilled dishes and the enjoyment of shared tables.

What's more, Tierra Brava one of those places where it's not just about the food. Its identity is linked to the experience, evenings with live music, signature cocktails that are a key part of the plan, and an atmosphere that invites you to stay. That's why a calçotada fits in so naturally here. It's not just a "special menu," but a way to enjoy the weekend in a place with energy and soul.

What is included and how much does it cost?

The Tierra Brava calçotada menu is served on Saturdays and Sundays and costs €40 per person. It is designed to be a complete calçotada, the kind that leaves you feeling like you've really made a plan, without rushing and without leaving anything half done.

The menu includes:

• Calçots
  
• Bread with tomato
  
• Barbecue
  
• Dessert
  
• Drink
  

In other words, everything you need for a perfect experience. You start with the calçots ritual, continue with the hearty grilled meat, finish with something sweet, and forget about questions like "should we order this?" or "are we missing anything?" The plan is set for you to enjoy yourself.

Calçots in Barcelona as they should be, with embers, romesco sauce, and a shared table

A good calçotada in Barcelona isn't just about eating calçots. It's about the whole experience. From the moment the first tile arrives, to the smell of embers, to that first bite that combines the sweetness of the calçot with the intensity of the romesco sauce. It's about allowing yourself to get messy, to laugh, to eat with your hands without apologizing. And when done right, that's what turns a meal into a memory.

At Tierra Brava, the menu reflects this philosophy. Bread with tomato isn't just an accompaniment; it's the gesture that sets the table in Catalonian style. And when the grilled meat arrives, the plan is complete and you're no longer "eating out," you're celebrating the weekend with a meal that has identity, the kind that invites you to linger at the table.

A perfect plan for Saturdays and Sundays in the Eixample district

Another reason why this menu works so well is the context. If you're looking for calçots in Barcelona and want somewhere central, accessible, and with a great atmosphere, the Eixample is the place to go. And being inside the Mercat del Ninot adds that special touch. You're in a place with a life of its own, with movement, with the feeling of being in an authentic part of the city, not an artificial setting.

The weekend format is also key. Saturdays and Sundays lend themselves to eating without watching the clock, getting together with people, celebrating small things: a reunion, an impromptu birthday, a family meal, or simply "it's been a while since we got together." This calçotada menu in Barcelona is designed for just that, so that food is the center of the day, not a formality.

‍

Who is this calçotada menu for?

This type of proposal appeals to many people, precisely because the calçotada has something universal about it: it is accessible, fun, and shared.

• For groups of friends, because the menu sets the mood: sharing, toasting, laughing, getting a little messy, and carrying on.
  
• For families, because it's a straightforward, no-fuss plan where everyone understands what's going on.
  
• For couples, if you fancy something different and seasonal, more "authentic" than a typical dinner.
  
• For those who want to discover Tierra Brava, because the menu is the perfect introduction to its style: produce, grill, rhythm, and experience.
  

And, above all, for anyone who has been thinking for days: "This weekend I feel like a calçotada."
