Ultramarinos Marín

Barcelona, Spain

Proving that simplicity really is key, Ultramarinos Marín is a traditional asador on an unassuming Barcelona calle, loved by old locals and chefs. It’s divided into two distinct spaces: a casual bar at the front – all strip lighting, sit-at counter and slot machines – and a more intimate restaurant at the back, with exposed pipes, an open kitchen and dark wood accents. It’s buzzing every night of the week thanks to the exceptional talent of chef Borja García – ex-Dos Pebrots, Etxebarri and Noma – who’s in the kitchen spinning Mediterranean plates such as squid, cocktails, prawns and fish of the day, as well as Iberian pork shoulder, zucchini flower and chicken. Why not soak up the vibe counter-side like a local, cerveza in-hand? Snagging a front-row seat is worth the early arrival.
