Casa Amàlia

Traditional Catalan · Eixample, Barcelona · €€

Open since 1950

Next to the Mercat de la Concepció on Passatge del Mercat 14 — the name dates from 1950, but the current team reopened in 2020. Jordi Castán out front, chefs Salguero and Suaña build the menu around what the market sends each morning.

The Delekta Review

Original Casa Amàlia operated from 1950 to 2019 under the family that gave the restaurant its name; the current team took over the space in 2020, keeping the name and the market-driven model Current operators: Jordi Castán (front-of-house) with chefs Antonio Salguero and Sergi Suaña; the menu lists ingredient sourcing back to specific Concepció stalls A second Casa Amàlia opened on the top floor of Time Out Market Barcelona at Port Vell — same kitchen DNA, with a port-side terrace and a stronger rice-and-fish lean

Pricing in the €€ tier — Macarfi puts an average bill at around €45 per person before drinks; the digital menu shows the supplier behind each dish

Thorpedo — Iberian pork rib mini-sandwich on Andalusian mollete with anticucho/peanut sauce and red onion Onyar-Merlès rice — duck magret on top with foie and seasonal figs Dinamita Valencian rice — short-grain from Molino Roca Artichokes with foie sauce, spider crab croquetas, torrezno (DO Soria Duroc pork) Brioche torrijas dipped in white chocolate, served with a cardamom ice cream — the signature dessert across both branches

Eixample original on a pedestrianised cobbled passatge, with a terrace and a quiet air-conditioned dining room — the room is built around the food rather than around design
