Contracorrent Bistró Gràcia

Went for a spontaneous date night, got lucky with a walk in and turned out to be our favorite meal in Barcelona so far. I’m not huge fan of tasting menus but each dish wa creative, yet comforting, was made with seasonal ingredients, complementary flavors and had the tastiest natural wine pairings. Each new item that hit our table was delightful. The server was incredibly knowledgeable of the dishes and wines and was helpful to explain in English. We cannot recommend it enough and can’t wait to return!

Some of the food here left a lasting impact, flavor combinations that shouldn’t make sense on paper but create some of the best tasting food I had in Barcelona. Service was friendly and they even added a glass of wine to our pairing because they saw we might’ve been drinking ahead of schedule. 100%would recommend to anyone coming to Barcelona, has to be one of my favorite meals I had as whole here and I will be coming back in the future!

The perfect neighborhood restaurant for a relaxed meal that really showcases what creativity and great sourcing can combine to do. Tasting menu format for a ridiculously low price of €35 to€48 that delivers far beyond the price tag. It’s a simple and delicious formula that’s bound to please anyone. See the menu photo for a sample and know that it will be different every night. That’s part of the fun. We loved all 8 courses. Hard to pick a a favorite. Natural wines at very reasonable prices. Be adventurous and enjoy!!! Go soon before everyone figures out what a delicious deal this place is!!

I had this restaurant in my to go list for a while and today I went there with my partner to celebrate my birthday. We didn't want to spend too much time in there because he suffers from back pain and cannot be seated for too long, so we were happy when they told us we had to leave in 1h30. The service was nice, efficient, kind and very informative. The food was amazing, one of the best meals I ever had. The price was fair given the high quality of all we have eaten. We will definitely come back!

Amazing food, with tasty and unique dishes and great service. Anna was very attentive and recommended us very nice wine to have with the food. I will visit again next time I’m in Barcelona.

Amazing place! Tasting menu, almost micheling style, but better and much more affordable! Super relaxed ambiance and the owners/staff is super friendly and helpful. Big selection of natural wines people seem to apprecite, personally I didn’t drink. Highly highly recommend, it’s really a hidden gem!

Amazing food, high quality ingredients, creative combinations of flavours and researched wine. In the menu we tested there where 5 dishes that had the upper hand (spoiler Allert 2 of them where dessert and one of them was as unusual as good). Atmosphere was very cozy, feeling like I have been invited to eat at a friend house. Amazing work, keep it up.

Orange wine selection is small but uninteresting. El Pagès Content is mousy and flawed. I wish there were more heavily macerated orange wines, like La Foradada de Frisach. Food is excellent for the price. 7 courses for €32.
