Casa Delfín, classic tapas
More than 100 years old
Even a century ago Barcelona was a 24 hour city, especially around the neighbourhoods of its markets, like the Mercat del Born, restaurants like Casa Delfín served both the workers and general public around the clock. Nowadays it’s still serving the public although the market has long closed and transformed into a cultural institution. Walking through its doors, or sitting on the terrace in front, is like travelling back in time to when everything was simpler. This essence of traditional dishes and service still defines Casa Delfín today.
Casa Delfín is managed by the Grupo Lombardo one of the most renowned culinary groups in Barcelona, whose establishments include el restaurante Ultramarinos, at the Sea end of the Ramblas, Taller de Tapas, with six branches strategically located around the city and Ajoblanco, the flagship establishment, on Tuset. The restaurant interior was designed by Lázaro Rosa Violan and combines modern touches with vintage décor, the terrace on one of Barcelona’s most beautiful paseos has views of la Basílica of Santa María del Mar and the extraordinary Mercat del Born.
