Mundial Bar

Seafood Tapas Bar · El Born, Barcelona · €€

Open since 1925

Held its corner of Plaça Sant Agustí Vell for 96 years; COVID forced it shut in 2021, and in 2025 it reopened at year 100. Grup Confiteria (also behind Paradiso) brought back the marble bar, iron tables and boxing mural — and pivoted the kitchen to seafood tapas.

The Delekta Review

Founded 1925 by Miquel Tort Robiralta; ran for 96 years before closing October 2021 Reopened September 10, 2025 — its 100th-anniversary year — by Grup Confiteria (Enric Rebordosa + Lito Baldovinos; same group as Paradiso) Historic regulars: boxers (1929-1967 fight-talk era), Gabriel García Márquez (who wrote at a corner table over the plaça), Santiago Carrillo, neighbourhood intellectuals

Seafood tapas (tapa marinera) — full kitchen pivot from the original's heavier mariscadas

Original marble counter and iron-and-marble tables preserved exactly as they stood Boxing mural reconstructed from period photographs; black-and-white photos and azulejos kept in place

Cazón en adobo — vinegar-marinated dogfish, the dish to order Gambitas del Mundial — house signature Tortillitas de camarones Suquet de pescado y marisco — substantial enough to count as a main Desserts from Forn Vilamala, the century-old neighbourhood bakery

~€25-35 per person; barrel wine €3/glass

“Mundial will never be what it was — the Tort family's legacy is inimitable — but we want to keep its essence alive.” — Grup Confiteria · Metrópoli Abierta
