Anfiteatro

There are many things that make the Anfiteatro Restaurant so special. It is one of the few haute cuisine establishments in Barcelona that can accommodate large-scale banquets. Its spacious interior, lakeside terrace and exclusive setting make it a perfect option for a variety of private and company events: cocktail parties, banquets, family celebrations, company dinners or lunches. It is a favourite amongst corporate clients, having hosted events for big-name companies like Citigroup, Nokia, Volkswagen, Gucci, Nike, Canon and Iberia. In fact, the restaurant's motto is "our job is making yours easier." The restaurant also stands out for its high-end cuisine, which has earned the Anfiteatro an official recommendation from the 2007 Michelin Guide.

Located just 100m from the Mapfre Tower, the Anfiteatro is an emblem of good design and modern architecture. The sleek interior is a play of white walls, geometric lines and clean, simple elegance. Sunlight streams through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows and after nightfall the rooms are illuminated with a warm, flattering lighting design. The outdoor terrace is done up in chic slate gray and features a rectangular lake as its centrepiece. At night the water is lit up, creating a harmonious interplay with the gray stone and green pines. The entire restaurant is surrounded by gardens, making it an oasis of tranquillity in the middle of the city, a romantic, culinary haven with a touch of class.

Anfiteatro's young chef combines innate talent with his experience at prestigious restaurants in Barcelona and France. The restaurant is considered one of Barcelona's most noteworthy, serving a creative haute cuisine that blends Mediterranean culinary tradition with modern influences and a dash of imagination.

This is an exceptional venue for group or company events. Please note the capacity of the restaurant's many different, exclusive settings:

Banquet:
Dining hall: 84 people
Lakeside terrace: 72 people

In the summer the restaurant has a total of 1,000m2 of available space. It can host cocktail parties of up to 400 people. When using the upper terrace for a banquet, the dining hall represents an excellent place for a cocktail reception and a post-dinner party.
