El Barroco
About
El Barroco is a culinary gem tucked inside a 16th‑century oil mill in the picturesque seaside town of Cadaqués. The historic setting, with its original stone walls and exposed timber beams, transports guests back to an era of resilience when the building survived pirate raids and later reclaimed its purpose as a gastronomic hub. At the heart of this heritage lies authentic Lebanese cuisine. The menu showcases a range of handcrafted dishes—from the smoky delight of chicken shawarma to the richly spiced lamb mechoui—prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Family‑friendly options abound, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten‑free selections that cater to every palate. El Barroco’s allure extends beyond its food. The restaurant has been graced by notable visitors such as King Juan Carlos I and the illustrious artist Salvador Dalí, who frequented the establishment for its welcoming atmosphere and impeccable dishes. These historic ties, coupled with the serene surroundings of Cadaqués, make El Barroco a must‑visit destination for diners seeking a blend of culinary excellence and cultural intrigue.
