Champagne, love, Barcelona








You can't help but falling in love with Barcelona. Usually at first sight.
And we fell in love with Barcelona, and also fell in love with this unbelievable store, La Cuina d'en Garriga.

Just across the street from Cartier, around the corner from Paseo de Gracia, a place to buy the very best Catalonia has to offer when it's time to eat, drink or set the table (artisanal breads, cheeses, fruits, fish...). The list goes on and on, but always ecological and fresh.

Plus the best champagnes and wines (think Ruinart, Moet and Co). And lovely ceramics from Karin Eriksson, fine linens...Illy, Laguiole, DeBuyer, Cocotte...All the big names are here. They even sell Aga stoves!. There is also a tasting room in the back, where the big and rustic communal table is.

Helena runs the place with a smile. And everybody falls in love.
