Casa Calvet boasts a priceless situation, since it is settled in a privileged modernist building by the famous Catalan architect Gaudí. It first opened to the public in 1994, and it still keeps the original décor from the end of the 19th century, which makes it really elegant, quiet and cosy.
The rooms of the restaurant are the perfect scenario for romantic dinners to become very special evenings.
The chef Miguel Alija offers his personal Mediterranean cuisine with his own creative touch, essentially elaborated with top quality products. In the menu we will find dishes like fresh duck liver with bitter orange, rice with lobster, vegetables with goat cheese or partridge with chestnuts.
Casa Calvet is the perfect place for a special occasion in which we will enjoy a quiet dinner in a unique setting.
Barcelona.com For the ones in love with Gaudí, the unique experience of having lunch or dinner in a building of the Master: La Casa Calvet A feeling of exclusiveness thanks to the place and decoration as well as for the meal.
The chief Miquel Alija excels in an adventurous Mediterranean kitchen. One appreciates Fresh duck liver with sour oranges, rice with lobster, vegetables with goat’s cheese, partridge with chestnuts or rosemary ice-cream. But do not miss its seasonal dishes with for example its Duck liver with cumin and chickpea purée (28 €), its grilled sole with pistachio sauce and sauted aubergine (30€), its Stewed cod, scallop and razor clam, with peas and potatoes (28 €). For the entries count some 20 Euros and 10 for the deserts.
“Sitting inside a work of art” designed by Antonio Gaudí with his signature “playful” touches makes the meal “special” at this “beautiful” Eixample house where the “cutting-edge”, “somewhat-high-end” Catalan-Med cuisine is also “quintessential Barcelona”; service is conducted with great “attention to detail”, so it’s the rare place that’s “got it all.”
It's hard to pass up the opportunity to break bread in a Gaudí-designed house. Completed in 1900, the Art Nouveau Casa Calvet includes a graceful dining room decorated in Moderniste ornamentation from looping parabolic door handles to polychrome stained glass, etched glass, and wood carved in floral and organic motifs. The Catalan and Mediterranean fare is light and contemporary, seasonal and market-based.
Probably the most intimate Gaudían experience you can have in Barcelona is eating in this sumptuous dining room. The Casa Calvet was one of the architect's first commissions, built for textile magnate Pere Calvet. Now private apartments, the building is off-limits to the public, but a restaurant occupies Calvet's former ground-floor offices. Replete with velvet drapery, florid stained glass, attractive tiles, Gaudí-designed furniture, and other memorabilia, the only thing that jolts you back to the 21st century is the contemporary twist on Miguel Alija's excellent Catalan cuisine, such as giant prawns with rosemary-infused oil or duck liver with oranges. And although the setting ensures a fair share of tourists, Casa Calvet is also popular with locals.
Casa Calvet Restaurant is a restaurant with signature cuisine, that since its opening in 1994, chef Miquel Alija has elaborated his own cuisine, full of nuances and original, reconciling state of the art creation with longstanding Mediterranean tradition. Their cooking combines the vanguardism of other great creators of our national cuisine with a certain influence from Asian cuisine.
