Restaurant with Terrace in Barcelona.
Roig Robí, one of Barcelona's classic restaurants
"There are three types of restaurants: those that are trendy, those that don't aspire to be trendy, and those that are trendy without having aspired to be so. Roig Robí is one of the latter. It is a restaurant that the people of Barcelona have protected as a precious asset since 1982."

Discover our tasting menus with fresh, seasonal product and enjoy Catalan cuisine in our restaurant with an indoor terrace
Our tasting menus are designed as a journey through our à la carte menu, combining the most representative flavours of our traditional cuisine in a sequence designed for maximum enjoyment.
Our hallmark: Catalan cuisine and fresh, seasonal produce
Our premise is to source the best possible produce and cook it to perfection in order to offer you the best Catalan cuisine available today, based on our tradition.
We take special care in sourcing the best products of each season: we receive the freshest fish and seafood twice a day; we buy beef with the Pirineos Designation of Origin; we have lamb sent to us from the Esgueva Valley and Iberian suckling pig from Huelva.
Truffles, mushrooms and asparagus are some of the quality products we buy directly from the collector or producer.
We believe that in order to offer the best flavour, it is essential to have the best product, and our suppliers have always been our allies in achieving this. We do not argue about the price - you get what you pay for - but we do demand the highest quality every day.
We have an extensive wine list worthy of the INCAVI award
Our extensive wine list, which includes more than 250 references, features the most prestigious Catalan and Spanish designations of origin. The innovative digital format allows you to filter your search by tasting notes, vintage, formats, wineries, price, designation of origin, etc., and is very user-friendly and interesting.
A short history of this iconic Barcelona restaurant
Roig Robí opened its doors in 1982 with the clear idea of becoming a benchmark restaurant, and it soon earned recognition from both customers and the national and international press.
In 1988, The Observer highlighted Mercè Navarro as one of the best chefs in the world, leading her to represent Catalan cuisine in several countries.
From the restaurant's first menu—a watercolour by artist Mariona Sanahuja—to the current menu featuring a work by Antoni Tàpies, art and culture have always been of interest to us. In 1996, Roig Robí held the first edition of Cocina de la Trufa (Truffle Cuisine), an event that featured prominent figures such as Joan Barril, Carme Casas, Màrius Carol, Manolo Vázquez Montalbán, Narcís Comadira and Manuel Vicent.
Over the years, the restaurant has undergone several renovations that have enhanced its space, such as the expansion of the garden and the creation of a gallery to enjoy outdoor dining even in winter.
In 2004, a wine cellar was created in full view of diners, allowing the restaurant to offer a carefully selected range of more than 250 wines, which led to the restaurant receiving the second Cartaví award for the ‘Best wine list in restaurants in Catalonia’ in 2010. In 2013, Mercè Navarro began to hand over the reins to her children, keeping her legacy alive.
In 2022, on the occasion of our 40th anniversary, the prestigious food journalist Cristina Jolonch dedicated a page to us in La Vanguardia, commenting on our journey.
Finally, in 2023, Mercè passed away, but her philosophy of ‘cooking with love and honesty’ continues to guide every dish that comes out of the Roig Robí kitchen.
Today, her son Joan Crosas runs the restaurant.

A very nice place, especially the interior garden. I hadn't been there for years and I really liked it. The food is delicious and the service is excellent.
