El Born
Catalan cuisine takes centre stage: tapas, the chef’s signature arroz, and seafood and meats off the Josper grill
Timeless Catalan-Mediterranean fare remains the heart of El Born, a smart-casual establishment that celebrates the soulful flavours of Barcelona. Led by chef David Amoros, the kitchen champions sustainable, artisanal cooking with a focus on high- quality ingredients. He has honed a style that combines family- oriented, cosy dining with a focus on locally-sourced, high- quality ingredients. The restaurant has recently evolved, refining its shared plates and expanding a beverage programme that features expertly selected wines from Spain, Italy, and France.
