Founded in Barcelona in 1992, Telefèric Barcelona is a family-owned restaurant group led by siblings Maria and Xavi Padrosa, dedicated to bringing Spain’s vibrant tapas culture to the United States.
Known for its authentic pintxos, signature paellas, and lively dining atmosphere, the brand has expanded from its Spanish roots to multiple locations. Telefèric Barcelona prides itself on authenticity, with Spanish chefs and team members ensuring a genuine representation of Spanish hospitality and gastronomy.
The menu showcases traditional and modern Spanish tapas, seasonal greens, bold main plates, and made-to-order paellas that celebrate the diversity of Spain’s regional cuisine.
The bar features handcrafted cocktails, signature sangrias, and an extensive Spanish wine list representing renowned regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rías Baixas, and Penedès.
The restaurant also hosts private events, wine tastings, and paella masterclasses, while offering catering services that bring the Spanish dining experience beyond its walls.
El Merkat, Telefèric Barcelona’s curated market concept, offers Spanish gourmet products, wines, charcuterie, cheeses, and paella kits that allow guests to experience authentic Spanish flavors at home.
