Before the tourists, Els Quatre Gats was the fashionable haunt of the Barcelona bourgeoisie and the likes of Russinyol, Picasso, Gaudí and their contemporaries. Another Modernist architect, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, designed its building, known as the Casa Marti, in 1896. An indelible feature of his works, the patron St. George, is depicted on its façade.
The Four Cats is a mainstay on the Barcelona scene and one that has changed little since its heyday at the turn of the 20th century. The interior is adorned with sculptures by Eusebi Arnau, Cubist paintings hang from the walls above and beneath the second floor catwalk beside new works by up-and-coming Catalan artists. The menu’s cover was taken from a poster designed by Picasso, who held his first exhibition here at the age of 17.
Despite a large tourist clientele, the restaurant is an original Catalan experience with a menu representative of Mediterranean cuisine, a finely dressed, professional staff and a two-piece band that looks to be having more fun than a kid in a candy store. The maitre d’ even personally escorted this red wine soaked diner to have her shirt cleaned. The Four Cats offers an afternoon menu del díaat 9.97i and an à la carte dinner menu.
