About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Good for business meals
  • Good for groups
Mediterranean steakhouse and tapas restaurant in El Born, Barcelona

Its appearance of bistro, the atmosphere and decoration are part of its charm but above all, what makes it special and explains the continued success that has had over 25 years as a restaurant in Barcelona is its commitment to products of the highest quality and the great price/quality relationship.

It has an extensive menu with meats imported from Argentina and Uruguay as well as Germany, Ireland and of course the best meats of local producers from Galicia and Girona, famous for its Argentinian cuts, dry- aged steaks of an excellent flavor and quality. Since 2021 El Foro has a new catalan chef specialiced in smoked paellas.

    Carnes y guarniciones perfectas. Las bravas demasiado tostadas, pero las salsas que acompañaban buenísimas.
