Margarit
Greek / Eastern Mediterranean · Poble Sec, Barcelona · €€
Open since 2024
Stefanos Balis's Greek-Catalan kitchen in Poble Sec — Hofmann-trained chef partnered with Jordi Fenoll on a menu well past moussaka. Family olive oil, sourdough from Forn Serra, housemade cheese, a wine list weighted toward small Greek and Macedonian producers.
The Delekta Review
Chef Stefanos Balis (Greek, Hofmann-trained) running the kitchen with Valencian chef Jordi Fenoll (formerly Rilke and Dos Pebrots)
Short, focused Greek-Catalan menu — both the regional Greek registers and the Mediterranean cross-tradition are intentional, not generic taverna fare Wine list tilted to small Greek and Macedonian producers; rare Mastika liqueur (resin from the lentisk tree)
Small Poble Sec dining room — Greek-Catalan focus, short menu, rare Greek and Macedonian wines.
Taramas — ivory and creamy, crowned with pickled mussels (€11.5) Palestinian lamb with yogurt and herbs, from a friend's family recipe (€19) Sweetbread souvlaki served in pita (€14); grilled bisbe sausage with apple compote (€13); swordfish with trahanas (€19) Skordalia; fava dip; fennel salad with smoked herring; fried pita topped with cheese, sesame, and a rosemary honey Portokalopita to close — Greek orange-syrup cake, with ice cream (€7.50)
