Experience summer on the best terraces in Barcelona with Somos Esencia

Summer in Barcelona cannot be understood without that mixture of light, sea breeze, and good atmosphere that transforms any day into a celebration. For those looking to savor this season at its best, We Are Essence offers four unique spaces where the Mediterranean is felt in every detail: Agua, Brisa, Fauna Bar, and Barraca. Whether facing the sea or in the heart of the city, our terraces are designed to be enjoyed 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'll see it right from the start.

Water: oceanfront sophistication

Located in the Port Olímpic, Agua is one of those terraces that impress effortlessly. With direct sea views and a relaxed but elegant atmosphere, this restaurant has become a mandatory stop for those who want to combine good cuisine and a privileged environment. Its menu revolves around fresh produce: varied tapas, seafood rice, and fresh fish prepared with care and respect for the raw material.

Evening dinners, with ships moving on the horizon and a glass of wine on the table, are one of those little summer luxuries that are remembered all year round. Water is a perfect choice if you are looking for a terrace facing the sea where everything flows.

Breeze: naturalness next to the port

A few steps from the hustle and bustle of the city, in the Palau de Mar, you will find Brisa, a corner that lives up to its name. Its terrace with views of Port Vell is spacious, comfortable, and open to the open air, ideal for those summer days when you want a relaxed meal or an aperitif in the sun. The gastronomic offering is simple and carefully prepared, with tapas, paellas to share, fresh seafood, and embers that invite you to stay a little longer.

‍

Here, the experience isn't just in what you eat, but also in how you live it. Lively after-work gatherings, lunches as a couple, or evenings with friends... Brisa is that place where you go without haste, because you know that every moment is worth it.

Bar Fauna: urban vitality and cocktails with character

Fauna Bar is the group's most cosmopolitan offering. Located in the urban heart of Barcelona, its terrace buzzes with the energy of the city and offers a more relaxed experience, without sacrificing design or good taste. There is no sea in sight here, but there is a lot of personality that makes each visit something different.

‍

Ideal for an impromptu date, a long talk after work, or a celebration with friends, Bar Fauna shows that one of the best terraces in Barcelona can also be in the middle of the city, between streets full of history and life.

Barraca: the essence of the Mediterranean in Barceloneta

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 floors, it offers a bright and honest experience.

His kitchen revolves around rice dishes— , such as octopus, sea and mountains, or veal with marrow—along with sailor classics, such as anchovies with coca bread and tomato, cuttlefish croquettes, or Andalusian-style calamari. The commitment to local products and sustainable fishing gives it that added value that many are looking for when they choose where to eat well in front of the sea.

‍

During the summer, Barraca comes alive: show cooking, 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 Barcelona's summer.

Four spaces, one and the same essence

What unites Agua, Brisa, Fauna Bar, and Barraca is not just belonging to We Are Essence, but rather 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 lunches, cocktail evenings, or celebrations with a Mediterranean flavor.

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

Consejos para aprovechar al máximo el verano en nuestras terrazas

To make the most of any of our terraces this summer, it's best to get ahead of time. During the months of July and August, reservations fly, especially in spaces such as Barraca or Agua. Whether you prefer to eat in the sun or in the shade, many of our terraces offer different areas depending on the time of day: at noon choose cooler spaces such as Brisa, while sunsets in Agua Fauna have a special magic.

Ordering several dishes to share is always a good option to discover more flavors. If you like to toast, at Brisa you'll find surprising cocktails. In addition, during the summer months, we usually organize special events, which further enhance the experience of our terraces.
