Bodega Ca la Pepeta

Favorites

Ca la Pepeta, also known as “El Pepeta’s”, is one of those most charismatic and distinctive bars in Barcelona’s Gràcia neighbourhood.

Free time and leisure

Ca la Pepeta, as the locals call it, is an essential stop. It’s named after the aunt of Manel and Jordi, who ran the place before her nephews took over. She lived in the days when bodegas supplied the neighbourhood with ice when there were no refrigerators, sold canned goods and bulk wine, and served as a telephone for local residents. It doesn’t matter what time of day you drop in, you’ll always find the perfect meal: a hearty breakfast, anchovies and patates braves to go with a well-prepared vermouth; at Ca la Pepeta, they peel their own potatoes –frozen spuds are unheard of here– and whether as a side dish or in an omelette, they’re a real pleasure to taste. If you just stop in for a coffee, they’ll serve it in the most authentic way possible: in a clear glass, so you can admire all the shades of colour from the foam to the dregs.
