Contracorrent Bistro
Bistro & Natural Wine · Gràcia, Barcelona · €€
Open since 2024
Nicola Drago and Anna Pla's Gràcia expansion — chef-sommelier couple, 8- or 10-course tasting at €32.50 / €45. Mediterranean-Italian cooking and a natural-wine list anchored in their own fermentations.
The Delekta Review
Run by chef Nicola Drago and sommelier Anna Pla — a couple operating both addresses Gràcia branch is the second outpost; the original Contracorrent Bar is in Fort Pienc
Two tasting-menu lengths — 8 courses (€32.50) or 10 courses (€45) — changing with the market and the kitchen's mood Mediterranean-Italian register, hyper-seasonal — Nicola Drago's accent on the food matched to Anna Pla's natural wines Natural-wine list curated by Anna Pla, leaning on the team's own housemade fermentations
Small Gràcia bistro with a street terrace — intimate room for the tasting-menu format, Nicola and Anna running front and back.
Pulled-duck snack on an anise cracker with orange chutney Arancino stuffed with lamb ossobuco A minestrone that lands as the comfort course of the run Mushroom-based dessert — savoury territory played as the closing trick
Wine pairing optional — and worth it, given Pla curates it
