Teatro kitchen & bar
Barcelona, Spain




The Experience
From Michelin Guide
A highly original eatery that maintains the essence of the legendary Tickets, but with its own attractive personality. Both its name and its meticulous decor are a nod to the theatres located in the city’s Parallel district, a sensation enhanced by the menu, which is presented almost like the script of a play, and includes the cast of all the cooks and waiters. This provides the backdrop for fun, varied cuisine in the shape of numerous snacks, tapas, a few classic recipes, alongside more innovative dishes. Options here include the possibility of ordering from the à la carte, which is presented in “acts” and “scenes” as if you were attending a theatre performance (Start the Show, The Great Outcome, and The End), as well as two tasting menus: Surprise Show (as part of which the chef chooses dishes based on your individual preferences and tastes) and À la Carte Show (where guests choose the “scenes” they wish to eat). While you’re here, why not enjoy a drink or cocktail in the Backstage bar?
