Restaurant in Barcelona, Spain
Serious wine, seafood, and a proper harbour view.
Eldelmar is the Torres brothers' casual waterfront restaurant at Port Olímpic, backed by a Star Wine List-recognised cellar of over 400 labels and a seafood-led Mediterranean à la carte. Easier to book than the flagship Cocina Hermanos Torres, it is the right choice when you want serious wine, fresh fish, and a genuine sea view without a tasting-menu commitment.
Over 400 wine labels. That single figure tells you something important about the ambition behind Eldelmar, the Torres brothers' casual-dining outpost at Port Olímpic. This is not a stripped-back beach restaurant banking on location. The wine program alone, recognised by Star Wine List (2026), signals a kitchen and cellar that take the Mediterranean seriously — even when the setting reads as relaxed.
Eldelmar sits in the Balcó Gastronòmic at Port Olímpic's Moll de Gregal, with large picture windows framing moored yachts and Nova Icària beach beyond. The room is designed to let the view do the work, and for Barcelona's seafront dining options, few settings compete on this combination of outlook and operator credibility. The Torres name — leading known through Cocina Hermanos Torres, their two-Michelin-star flagship , carries real weight here. Eldelmar is the more accessible expression of that same culinary thinking: Mediterranean-focused, seafood-led, and structured around an à la carte rather than a tasting menu.
The menu reads around the sea's seasonal produce. Oysters anchor the opening. Rice dishes and fideuá sit alongside pasta and meat options, with a dedicated fish-of-the-day section that shifts according to what's come in. This is the kind of menu where the leading choices tend to be the simplest ones: fresh fish, properly cooked, backed by a wine list deep enough to match almost any direction you want to take the meal. For a food and wine enthusiast, that 400-label list is genuinely worth spending time with before you order food, not as an afterthought.
Booking here is easier than at the flagship. Where Cocina Hermanos Torres requires planning weeks in advance, Eldelmar operates with casual-dining flexibility. The Star Wine List recognition and the Torres provenance will draw enough of the right crowd to make a reservation sensible on weekends, but this is not a table you need to chase months out. That accessibility is part of the point: this is where you come for a long, considered lunch with good bottles and a view, not for a tasting-menu occasion.
For the wine-focused traveller, Eldelmar occupies a specific and useful niche. Barcelona has no shortage of serious restaurants , Disfrutar, Lasarte, and Enigma all deliver at the leading of the creative spectrum , but none pair that level of wine program depth with a genuinely relaxed waterfront setting. Eldelmar fills that gap. It is the answer when you want serious provenance, a proper cellar, and the ability to show up in a linen shirt without ceremony.
The Star Wine List award for 2026 is the key credential to note. It places Eldelmar in a defined category of restaurants where the beverage program is treated as a primary offering rather than a support act. For the wine traveller passing through Barcelona , perhaps coming from El Celler de Can Roca in Girona or heading toward Aponiente in El Puerto de Santa María , this is a worthwhile stop that will hold its own in that company, at a considerably more relaxed price point and with far less booking friction.
The address is Port Olímpic, Moll de Gregal, Local 3, in the Sant Martí district. It is reachable on foot from the beach hotels along the Barceloneta seafront, and well-positioned for anyone staying in the Poblenou or Vila Olímpica area.

Book Eldelmar if you want a wine-serious, seafood-led lunch with a waterfront view and the confidence that comes from a credible kitchen pedigree. It is the accessible version of the Torres brothers' output , easier to book than the flagship, less demanding in format, and backed by a wine list that punches well above what the casual setting implies. For the explorer who wants depth without ceremony, this is the right call in Barcelona's Port Olímpic.

Yes, with the right expectations. Eldelmar suits celebrations where the atmosphere matters as much as the menu: a waterfront lunch with serious wine and a credible kitchen behind it is a strong combination. The Star Wine List recognition and the Torres brothers' provenance give it enough occasion weight without the formality of a tasting-menu dinner. If you want a true milestone-dinner experience, Cocina Hermanos Torres is the flagship version of that. Eldelmar is better suited to a relaxed celebratory lunch or an anniversary dinner where the setting and wine do the heavy lifting.
For a more ambitious tasting-menu format, Disfrutar is the most technically adventurous option in the city, though it is significantly harder to book and more expensive. Lasarte offers Michelin-starred cooking with a more classical structure. Cinc Sentits delivers modern Catalan cooking in a smaller, more intimate room. Enoteca Paco Pérez competes directly on wine depth and modern Spanish cooking. None of these match Eldelmar's waterfront setting or its combination of wine program depth with a casual, à la carte format , which is exactly the gap it fills.
The menu's Mediterranean and seafood focus means vegetarian and pescatarian guests will find options across oysters, pasta, and rice dishes. Specific dietary accommodation details are not confirmed in available data. Contact the restaurant directly before booking if you have strict requirements , the à la carte format is generally more flexible for dietary needs than a fixed tasting menu, which is an advantage over venues like Enigma or Cocina Hermanos Torres where tasting menus are the main format.
The Port Olímpic waterfront setting and à la carte format suggest reasonable capacity for group dining, and casual-format restaurants in this category typically handle groups better than tasting-menu venues. Specific private dining or large-group booking details are not confirmed in available data. For groups of 6 or more, contact the restaurant directly to confirm layout and any minimum-spend requirements before assuming availability.
Bar seating details are not confirmed in available data. The restaurant's casual ambience and large-windowed dining room suggest a relatively relaxed approach to seating formats, but whether bar dining is offered as a standalone experience is not something we can confirm. Given the strong wine program , 400-plus labels, Star Wine List recognised , a drinks-and-smaller-plates approach at the bar would be a natural fit if the format supports it. Check directly when booking.
The venue describes itself as having a casual ambience. Smart-casual is the right call: think well-cut trousers or a linen shirt rather than a jacket-required level of formality. This is a waterfront restaurant, not a tasting-menu dining room. If you are coming from or comparing against Lasarte or Cocina Hermanos Torres, dress one level down from those. You will not be underdressed in smart casual, and you would be overdressed in black-tie.

A quick look at how Eldelmar - Hermanos Torres measures up.
Yes, with the right expectations. Eldelmar carries the Torres brothers' name and a Star Wine List 2026 recognition, and the waterfront setting at Port Olímpic adds genuine occasion weight. It works well for a celebratory seafood lunch rather than a formal tasting-menu dinner — if the latter is what you're after, Cocina Hermanos Torres is the more theatrical choice.
For a step up in formality and Michelin-level cooking, Cocina Hermanos Torres (also from the same family) or Disfrutar are the obvious moves. Cinc Sentits offers a tighter, more personal tasting-menu format at a potentially lower price point. If your priority is specifically the wine list depth, Enoteca Paco Pérez at the Hotel Arts is the closest waterfront competitor with comparable ambition.
The menu's Mediterranean focus — oysters, fresh fish, rice, fideuá, pasta, and meat — gives reasonable flexibility for pescatarians and most non-vegan restrictions. The à la carte format means you're not locked into a fixed menu, which helps. Confirm specific allergen requirements directly with the restaurant before booking, as no detailed policy is documented in available records.
The Port Olímpic location with large picture windows and a casual dining ambience suggests capacity for groups, and the broad à la carte — spanning oysters, fish of the day, rice dishes, pasta, and meat — gives a group enough range to order comfortably. For larger parties or a private arrangement, contact the restaurant in advance; the Torres name typically means professional event handling.
Bar seating is not confirmed in available records, but the casual ambience and à la carte format at Eldelmar suggest a more relaxed service model than a counter-only omakase or tasting room. If a quick solo or couple's meal is the goal, the full dining room with sea views is the draw here — arrive for the setting, not a bar perch.
The venue is described as casual in ambience, so smart-casual is a safe read: presentable but not formal. This is a harbour-view seafood lunch spot, not a white-tablecloth tasting room. Linen, clean sneakers, and similar register well; a jacket is unnecessary unless you prefer it.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
