Seasonal menus showcasing summer’s best ingredients paired with Spain’s famous sunshine make for an irresistible dining experience. At the Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona, both hotel restaurants provide inviting alfresco dining in the Eixample district, each offering its own distinctive atmosphere.
In the leafy courtyard at Mimosa Gardens, guests can relax with classic Spanish drinks such as sangria and tinto de verano, the latter enhanced with a signature Mimosa syrup. The tapas selection highlights Andalusian traditions, featuring dishes like Spanish potato salad and thinly sliced Ibérico cured ham—simple, high-quality ingredients prepared with care.
Up on the rooftop at Terrat, diners are treated to sweeping views of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces, including La Sagrada Família and Casa Batlló, while enjoying an international menu influenced by Mexican, Peruvian and Japanese cuisine. The kitchen blends these global flavors into approachable favorites meant for sharing or a relaxed meal. A recently introduced cocktail list complements the food program with inventive drinks such as The Huascaran, a balanced mix of Pisco and citrus-forward yuzu, with elderflower liqueur and a touch of Angostura bitters for depth. Terrace seating is available for both lunch and dinner, making Terrat an appealing choice for daytime city views or evening skyline panoramas.
Whether you prefer a shaded courtyard for leisurely tapas or a rooftop perch with panoramic sights, these Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona venues offer distinct summer dining options that combine seasonal produce, creative beverages and memorable city scenery.
