In the heart of Barcelona’s Eixample district, Casa Rincón de Gràcia is more than a restaurant.
It’s a place where Spanish and Catalan cuisine meets Mediterranean interior architecture, blending warmth, sophistication, and authenticity.
Behind this elegant concept is Laura Margot, a Swiss interior architect whose vision harmonizes clean design lines with the vibrant soul of Catalonia.
A Design Inspired by Travel and the Mediterranean
From the very first step inside, guests are immersed in a luminous and serene atmosphere that evokes the coastal towns and traditional Catalan houses of the Mediterranean.Laura Margot conceived Casa Rincón de Gràcia as a space that tells a story — one of travel, sea breeze, and Spanish heritage.
The use of wood paneling, natural textures, and Mediterranean blue tones recalls the weathered hulls of fishing boats and the calm sea at dusk.Every detail has been designed to awaken the senses — sight, smell, and taste — in harmony with the restaurant’s culinary philosophy.
Catalan Colors and Maritime Light
The color palette pays tribute to the Catalan coast and its ever-changing light: terracotta, soft sand, deep blue, and warm gold.Combined with natural materials like wood and ceramic, these tones create an atmosphere that is both timeless and inviting.
The blue woodwork has become a signature element of Casa Rincón de Gràcia — a subtle reference to the Mediterranean boats and Barcelona’s maritime identity.
Thoughtfully Selected Materials and Objects
True to her architectural approach, Laura Margot selected every object and finish with care. Handmade ceramics, vintage lighting, and locally woven Catalan fabrics bring depth and character to the space.Each item — carefully sourced or custom-made — contributes to the restaurant’s authentic and welcoming personality.
“I wanted to create a space that evokes travel and the sea, but also simplicity and Mediterranean warmth,”explains Laura Margot.
The Balance Between Swiss Precision and Catalan Soul
The strength of Casa Rincón de Gràcia lies in the delicate balance between Swiss design discipline and Mediterranean spontaneity.The architectural layout, lighting design, and material selection reflect a clear sense of order and comfort, while the color palette and textures evoke joy, movement, and conviviality.
It’s a place where guests can enjoy a traditional paella or authentic tapas while experiencing the atmosphere and rhythm of Barcelona’s Mediterranean lifestyle.
A Space that Enhances the Cuisine
Laura Margot’s interior architecture perfectly complements the restaurant’s culinary vision:authentic Spanish and Catalan cuisine, crafted with local, high-quality ingredients.The natural materials, subtle lighting, and harmonious proportions create a setting that celebrates both food and emotion— the true essence of Mediterranean dining.
