Casa Carmen, Mediterranean restaurant near Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona, Spain
Casa Carmen is a restaurant on Carrer de Casp 17 in central Barcelona, serving Mediterranean dishes rooted in Spanish coastal cooking. The dining room is spread across two floors, with spaces suited to both small groups and larger parties.
The restaurant opened in 2017, at a time when Barcelona was seeing a wave of new dining spots focused on traditional Spanish food prepared with modern techniques. Its location in the city centre placed it in a busy part of town with a long history of restaurants and food culture.
Casa Carmen serves food in shared plates and tapas, which reflects the Spanish habit of eating together slowly and passing dishes around the table. This style of dining feels natural in Barcelona, where meals are often a social event as much as a time to eat.
The restaurant sits on Carrer de Casp, easy to reach on foot from central Barcelona and close to several metro stops. It opens daily for both lunch and dinner, though there is a gap between service periods, so checking the hours before visiting is a good idea.
The space is equipped with audiovisual tools that can be used for business presentations, making it possible to hold a work meeting over a meal without switching venues. This setup is rarely found in a standard restaurant and makes it a practical option for visitors traveling for work.
