El Chigre 1769
About
El Chigre 1769 is a vibrant Catalan‑Asturian tavern that blends two regional flavours into one casual dining experience. Nestled in the historic Càtedra neighborhood of Barcelona, the restaurant celebrates local, seasonal produce with a menu that ranges from classic Asturian vermouth to Catalan tapas and contemporary small plates. Patrons enjoy the friendly, almost democratic atmosphere that the owners describe as a place where “everyone is a parishioner, neighbour, or occasional visitor.” The concept emphasises local km0 ingredients, ecological sustainability, and collaboration with nearby producers.\n\nThe ambience is relaxed and family‑friendly, with a lively bar, an open kitchen that showcases traditional cooking methods, and an outdoor patio ideal for a laid‑back meal in the city. Customers can book a table for two or more people in advance, ensuring a seamless visit.\n\nWith a commitment to quality, El Chigre 1769 is a certified Slow Food venue that offers both food and drink, including a wide selection of drinks – from vermouth and local beers to fresh cocktails – all served in a welcoming setting.
