Run by the owners themselves, Fonda Pepa feels personal in the best way. The food is out of this world: tomatoes aguachile, oysters with ceviche juice, fish tacos, and that insane surf & turf - a pollo a la brassa with prawns. Oh, and that flan!!! I am still thinking of it. Vintage vibes inside, leafy patio out back, and food that mixes Catalan soul with a touch of Mexico. Don’t miss it!!
A Fonda Pepa, dos xefs amics tradueixen el calendari de temporada en una carta viva de tapes i plats reinterpretats amb tècnica precisa i producte de proximitat. El local és petit, amb detalls vintage i un pati frondós que respira l’esperit de Gràcia, mentre la cuina oberta —amb forn Josper— aporta aquella intensitat gustativa que fa venir de gust compartir. Entre arrels catalanes, picades d’ullet llatinoamericanes i marisc fresquíssim, és un lloc ideal per dinar o sopar amb calma, com qui s’hi deixa guiar.

the food was spectacular, from the oysters to the steak tartar, with the best linguine!! service was great. personal wine recommendations did not dissapoint
Embracing tradition with a twist, this is a nice option for a quiet meal. Very reasonably priced and the right space between tables (much appreciated). Based on local delicacy, the menu consists of small plates to share. The patio could do with a bit of redecorating, I found the sala was more curated. Definitely follow your server's lead on the choice of wine.
