La Plaça Gastro Mercat
La Plaça Gastro Mercat is a rooftop restaurant in Ciutat Vella that serves food in an open, airy setting elevated above the old town. The space combines dining with a vantage point that overlooks the surrounding neighborhood.
The restaurant was founded as part of modern efforts to revitalize the old town, combining dining with elevated viewpoints. This development follows years of work to transform Ciutat Vella into a place where people want to spend time and explore.
The name references Catalan plazas and blends market traditions with modern food culture. You can see how contemporary dining here honors the neighborhood's connections to everyday commerce and social gathering.
The rooftop has open air and natural light, making it pleasant for eating during the day or evening. You'll need to use stairs or elevators to reach it, so check accessibility options beforehand if that matters to you.
The name references Catalan market culture even though it operates as a restaurant, not an actual market. This clever naming celebrates how traditional urban spaces can inspire contemporary dining concepts.
