Castillo de Farnés Restaurant
In the 19th century this building was home to a grocery store. Later, Francisco Puig bought the establishment and turned it into a cheap restaurant which he named Castillo de Farnés, after a fortress in Catalonia, his hometown. On the corner of the façade there used to be a figurehead depicting the horn of plenty, currently preserved and used as the symbol of this place. Today Castillo de Farnés restaurant resembles a Spanish tavern serving typical Spanish food.

The bar, very central and popular, is known for its variety of national and international cocktails and a choice of light food dishes, including the delicious Toro Farnés sandwich, made from Iberian products.
The possibility of enjoying your meal in a privileged environment is added to the restaurant’s offer, as it is situated near the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Zaragozana restaurant and Floridita bar & restaurant. Not far away is Obispo Street, with businesses of various kinds and the hustle and bustle of people passing by, to measure the pulse of the city.
