Hiding in the backstreets of Barcelona’s old medieval town, right at the heart of El Born district, Ziryab is an intimate fusion tapas restaurant that will take your senses around the whole Mediterranean world. Sitting in a winding alleyway near the Picasso Museum on Carrer de Montcada, the street that from the 17th century onwards was used for the rich merchants and noblemen of Barcelona to build their palaces, which were expansive, charming with welcoming inner courtyards and housed horse stables, servants quarters and rooms for entertaining visitors… these old palaces have now been converted into museums and galleries, and Ziryab is right round the corner, located itself in an old 16th century family palace, part of which was used as a stable. Ziryab’s tapas restaurant itself evokes the charm of this part of the old city with its brick walls, its high wooden beamed ceilings and eclectic personality. The flavors you will find on your plates come from every corner of the Mediterranean sea. Don't be afraid to travel from your own seat, try the classic Spanish tapas with a middle-eastern twist, explore multiple kinds hummus, grilled meat as well as fish and let the great wine menu conquer you!
