More than 80 years in Barcelona offering the best traditional cuisine in a family and fun environment.
Opened in 1942 by Joan Balsells i Torres and Balbina Garrido, Bodega Joan began its commercial activities with the sale of Catalan wines in bulk. During the first decade of its history, it was transformed into a food house, offering a magnificent menu of traditional specialties with seasonal dishes. Its variety of traditional Catalan recipes, generously served and its iconic dishes, synonymous with quality and tradition, are part of the culinary heritage of the city of Barcelona and Eixample.
Nothing better than our customers speaking for us.
“Delicious tapas - some of the best calamari/fried octopus rings on the planet! So fresh, with a wonderful aioli. We enjoyed the reasonable wine list, tasty paella, crispy potatoes bravas and amazing prawns.”
“We were 6 people. They explained the menu to us, recommended Catalan dishes and everything was delicious. I will surely return and recommend it. Try rice broth with lobster, especially if it's cold... The paella is very good”
“Enjoyed the night dining with my wife at Bodega Joan. Great good, great time!”
It was the year 1999 when the illusions of a group of friends, identified with the same interests, became what is now the Penya Barcelonista. Among the activities carried out by our club, we can list trips following our beloved FC Barcelona, different cultural activities and recreational trips for our members.
Every Barcelona F.C. game turns into a party at the Bodega Joan.
