Barcelona restaurant sector expansion

Overview

The Barcelona restaurant sector is experiencing growth through both individual establishment expansions and corporate professionalization.

Pizzabar, a gastronomic bar concept founded by Rafa Blanc, José Bassols, Lali Rodellas, and Helena Rodellas, has expanded from Sant Feliu de Boada to a new location on Carrer París/Enric Granados. The restaurant emphasizes thin, crispy doughs and Catalan proximity products, offering a menu of local small plates and a curated wine list in an elegant setting.

Furthering the artisanal trend in the Eixample district, Garden Pizza has opened a flagship location on Consell de Cent. Originating in Sant Cugat del Vallès and ranked as the “25th best artisanal pizza chain globally by 50 Top Pizza,” the establishment features a hydroponic garden and utilizes organic Petra flour for its dough.

Concurrently, the company Can Pizza is undergoing a professionalization process following its acquisition by Abordador Capital. The firm intends to expand from 13 to 25 restaurants by 2028. To support this growth, Can Pizza is piloting a dual-concept model at its Ronda Universitat location, which utilizes independent ovens and separate circuits to manage gluten-containing and gluten-free offerings.
