Masa Vins is a lively, cozy natural wine bar in Poble Nou, serving vibrant Mediterranean-inspired tapas and boasting one of Barcelona’s longest wine lists.
"Barcelona is in the throes of a natural wine renaissance, and Masa Vins is opening some of the most interesting bottles in the city. The cuisine of co-owner chef Antonella Tignanelli is rooted in the Mediterranean but globally inspired. Delicate dishes like seabass crudo with mandarin oil and sumac share space on the menu with bar snacks like the kimchi grilled cheese “bikini.” Brimming with youthful energy, Masa Vins was created by Tignanelli and co-owner Dani Bajc to be a place to hang with friends, drink unique wines, listen to music, and eat excellent food. Of the 250 natural wines on the list, there’s an emphasis on Eastern European labels, and the food menu changes every three months with the seasons. The place is nearly always busy and there aren’t many tables, so get there early or expect to wait. Large parties can book through Instagram DM." - Sam Zucker
"Even a residential area like Poble Nou needs a wine bar. Masa Vins has one of Barcelona’s longest natural wine lists, with pages of choices from all over Europe available by the glass and bottle. As for the food menu, it has enough vegetable and healthy options to please the local yoga set, but without being boring. The kimchi grilled cheese is so pungent and oozy that you’ll smell it before you see it, and the coconut water jelly, fresh berries, and whipped cream dessert is sexy enough to smother yourself in. The pared-back retro space has a vinyl record player if you want to spin a tune—but you’ll probably be too busy making friends with the people at the next table over a bottle of cloudy Austrian pét-nat." - isabelle kliger

"Masa Vins calls itself “your living room but with a fridge full of natural wine.” This tiny, lively space with its unfussy tiled walls and fewer than a dozen tables really does feel like a close friend’s kitchen—that’s providing your friends are really cool have excellent taste in wine. And the 2023-opened spot is a welcome addition to Barcelona’s artsy Poble Nou neighborhood; it’s full of fashionable 30-somethings and has one of the longest wine lists around, with pages of options by the bottle and by the glass, including some pretty obscure varietals. Snacks and tapas are all beautifully presented and perfectly on-trend, too; think kimchi grilled cheese and crudité served with a fermented carrot-cashew dip." - Isabelle Kliger, Naren Young
"First impression? Masa Vins calls itself “your living room but with a fridge full of natural wine.” This tiny, lively space with its unfussy tiled walls and fewer than a dozen tables really does feel like a close friend’s kitchen—that’s providing your friends are really cool have excellent taste in wine. How’s the crowd? This newly opened natural wine bar is a welcome addition to Barcelona ’s artsy Poble Nou neighborhood. It’s full of fashionable 30-somethings and natural wine lovers gazing at one another through cloudy glasses and trendy eyewear. How are the drinks? This is one of the longest natural wine lists I’ve seen in Barcelona, with pages of options by the bottle and plenty by the glass too, including some pretty obscure wines we’d never heard of. If there’s food, is it worth ordering something to eat? Snacks and tapas, all beautifully presented and perfectly on-trend. Think kimchi grilled cheese or crudités with fermented carrot and cashew nut dip. Did the staff do you right? When it comes to natural wine, co-founders Antonella Tignanelli and Dani Bajc really know their grapes. They love what they do and you can tell. Wrap it up: what are we coming here for? Who wouldn’t want to check out a trendy new natural wine bar in a hip, up-and-coming Barcelona neighborhood?" - Isabelle Kliger
