Summer in Barcelona cannot be understood without that mix of light, sea breeze and good atmosphere that transforms any day into a celebration. For those looking to savor this season at its best, Somos Esencia offers four unique spaces where the Mediterranean is felt in every detail: AguaBrisa, Brisa, Bar Fauna and Barraca. Whether facing the sea or in the heart of the city, our terraces are designed to enjoy calmly, with flavor and soul. We tell you why they are part of the best terraces in Barcelona for this summer, without having to repeat it as a slogan: you will see it from the first moment.

Agua: sophistication in front of the sea

Located at Port Olímpic, Agua is one of those terraces that impress without effort. With direct sea views and a relaxed but elegant atmosphere, this restaurant has become an obligatory stop for those who want to combine good gastronomy and privileged surroundings. Its menu revolves around fresh produce: varied tapas, seafood rice dishes, and fresh fish prepared with care and respect for the raw material.

Sunset dinners, with boats bobbing on the horizon and a glass of wine on the table, are one of those little summer luxuries that are remembered all year round. Agua is a perfect choice if you are looking for a waterfront terrace where everything flows.

Breeze: naturalness by the harbor

A few steps from the bustle of the city, in the Palau de Mar, is Brisa, a corner that lives up to its name. Its terrace overlooking the Port Vell is spacious, comfortable and open to the open air, ideal for those summer days when you feel like a relaxed meal or an aperitif in the sun. The gastronomic proposal is simple and careful, with tapas, paellas to share, fresh seafood and embers that invite you to stay a while longer.

‍

Here, the experience is not only in what you eat, but also in how you live it. Lively afterworks, lunches as a couple or evenings with friends... Brisa is that place where you go without rushing, because you know that every moment is worth it.

Bar Fauna: urban vitality and cocktails with character

Bar Fauna is the most cosmopolitan proposal of the group. Located in the urban heart of Barcelona, its terrace vibrates with the energy of the city and offers a more casual experience, without sacrificing design or good taste. Here there is no sea in sight, but there is a lot of personality that makes each visit different.

‍

Ideal for an impromptu date, a long chat after work or a celebration among friends, Bar Fauna proves that one of the best terraces in Barcelona can also be in the heart of the city, among streets with history and life.

Barraca: the essence of the Mediterranean in Barceloneta

Right on the seafront of Barceloneta, Barraca is the place where the Mediterranean sits at the table. With a beachfront terrace, light wood, large windows and two heights, it offers a bright and honest experience.

Its cuisine revolves around rice dishes, such as octopus, sea and mountain or veal with marrow, along with seafood classics such as anchovies with coca bread and tomato, cuttlefish croquettes or squid Andalusian style. The commitment to local products and sustainable fishing gives it that added value that many people look for when choosing where to eat well in front of the sea.

‍

During the summer, Barraca is full of life: showcookings, special menus, soft music and the sea breeze as a background companion. It is, without a doubt, one of the most authentic terraces to savor the Barcelona summer.

Four spaces, one essence

What unites AguaBrisa, Bar Fauna and Barraca is not only belonging to Somos Esencia, but also sharing a way of understanding gastronomy and experience. Each terrace is designed to adapt to what you are looking for: from intimate dinners with views to informal meals, cocktail evenings or celebrations with a Mediterranean flavor.

Careful design, sincere hospitality and commitment to local produce make these four spaces much more than restaurants: they are summer destinations in themselves. Whether by the sea or in the heart of the city, each terrace has its own character and that makes them unique.
