about us

Sta. Clara serves honest, classical cuisine, based on top-quality market products prepared with the utmost care. Santa Clara is a restaurant with garden located in the neighbourhood of Pedralbes in Barcelona that opened its doors in November 2015. Its interior design was commissioned to the prestigious interior designer Jaime Beriestain.

Santa Clara is an island just off Mount Igueldo in San Sebastián, three kilometres out to sea. It is reached by the people of San Sebastián by boat or by swimming to it as soon as the good weather starts and there is low tide. They have picnics, go to the bar and spend the afternoon there.

Our Sta. Clara owes its name to the fact that in its beginnings it had a strong link with the Igueldo restaurant, also in Barcelona, whose owners, Ana López de Lamadrid and Gonzalo Galbete, have been offering excellent Basque cuisine for the last ten years. They were the ones who led the opening of Sta. Clara, and even these days, our kitchen is still inspired by their gastronomic style.

Sta. Clara restaurant occupies the premises that were vacated by Restaurant Neichel (*Michelin) which, for almost 30 years, was one of the best ones in Barcelona. Assuming the obvious differences, we take on its legacy of excellence.

OUR CUISINE

Santa Clara serves breakfast as well as lunches, dinners, traditional vermouth or snacks at any time…

Our menu contains top-quality market products and an exquisite variety of soups and salads, tartare and tataki, pasta, rice, meat, fish, delicious accompaniments and omelettes made using eggs from Calaf. The meat and fish dishes prepared over a charcoal grill in our sophisticated Josper oven will, without a doubt, be the star product of our restaurant.
