Welcome to Parada Torres, WHAT CAN WE GET YOU?
Sergio and Javier return to the market where they grew up to open the doors to a place where great produce comes first, no strings attached. Forget labels, formalities and booking months in advance. This is our favourite stall; a corner open to the buzz of the neighbourhood, where we bring together the honesty of a traditional bar with the mastery, craftsmanship and hallmark quality of two brothers who have never forgotten where they come from.
Authentic market cuisine: from the stall to the plate.
We work with fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, selecting each one with the same care with which we cook it. Our cuisine is inspired by quality produce, respect for flavour and a constant search for balance between tradition and creativity, resulting in dishes full of flavour, colour and variety.
The Santa Caterina Market is an essential part of our culinary identity and our way of understanding gastronomy: a vibrant place, rich in nuances, that connects us to the wealth of local produce and the diversity of each season. This inspiration is reflected in our daily specials and off-menu creations, with ever-changing proposals that evolve throughout the year.
Honest cooking, carefully selected produce and plenty of flavour.
One market. One kitchen. Two brothers who came home.
Long before the white jackets, the accolades and the Three Michelin Stars, our lives already revolved around these aisles. As children, we walked through Santa Caterina Market hand in hand with our grandmother Catalina. She taught us to respect ingredients, understand the rhythm of the seasons and love cooking made with patience and soul.
Parada Torres was born right here because this is where it all began. It is our tribute to her, to our roots and to traditional Catalan cuisine reinterpreted through a lifetime of craft and experience.
Long live the market!
The liveliest corner of Santa Caterina: counter, grill and neighbourhood.
We designed this restaurant by removing physical barriers, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the architecture and heartbeat of the market itself. Parada Torres is a fluid, relaxed space without formalities: a large open kitchen where you can watch the live flames of the grill, sit at the counter for a quick bite and a glass of wine, or settle in comfortably at one of our high or low tables.
Come as you are, on your own or with company, and sit wherever the mood takes you. Here, fine dining leaves its rigidity behind to become an everyday celebration
