Can Marti is situated at a perfect distance from Barcelona proper; close enough to enable a fantastic view of the city, while suitably removed to feel free of its trappings. Collserola mountain is the setting for this idyllic terrace, nestled amidst a wealth of lush nature that effectively washes away the details of everyday drama.

Much of the food is prepared in front of guests on a large grill, including choice selections of fresh meat and fish. The charcoal-grilled steak with aioli is particularly delicious. Can Marti is family-friendly in both atmosphere and menu, with a range of simpler dishes also available, including paella, pizza, tapas and sandwiches.

For a meal that’s more of a destination than just dinner, Can Marti is a journey worth making.
