Hotel Zenit · Carrer de Santaló, 8
A hotel restaurant open to everyone, not just guests
Mediterránea is the restaurant at Hotel Zenit Barcelona, on Carrer de Santaló, 8, in the Sant Gervasi-Galvany neighbourhood. You come in through the hotel, go up to the first floor and have lunch or dinner as you would at any other restaurant: you don't need a room. The tables sit beside a large window, and there's also a terrace, which is worth asking for when you book. Our guests are locals, people who work nearby and hotel guests; some stay several nights and have lunch and dinner here throughout their stay.

House speciality
Mediterranean Paella
This is the seafood paella on our menu, and paella is the dish that comes up most in reviews, along with the black rice. Alongside it you'll find the Paella Mar y Montaña (surf and turf), the seasonal vegetable paella, Arroz negro con Mariscos (black rice with seafood) and Fideuá de Mariscos, a seafood noodle paella. For two or more, most tables order a couple of starters to share and one paella for everyone.
The menu
Starters, rice dishes, meat and fish
Starters and sharing plates
Patatas bravas, fried aubergine with cane honey, Ibérico ham and cocido croquettes, Andalusian-style fried squid, huevos estrellados with Ibérico ham and a board of jamón with pan con tomate. Most people order several and share them around the table.
Rice and pasta
Three paellas (Mediterránea, mar y montaña and seasonal vegetable), black rice with seafood, seafood fideuá, creamy mushroom risotto and the pasta of the day, which changes daily.
Meat and fish
Beef entrecôte with vegetable gratin, beef sirloin with foie gras and port reduction, Ibérico pork tenderloin in Pedro Ximénez, pollo a la catalana, milanesa a la napolitana, salmon fillet and fish of the day.
Salads, desserts and drinks
Four salads, from Caesar to goat's cheese. For dessert, chocolate coulant, seasonal fruit or the dessert of the day. To drink, vermouth, cava and house wine, sangria or Aperol Spritz.

Questions to ask before you book
Yes. Mediterránea is inside Hotel Zenit Barcelona, but it's a restaurant open to everyone. You just book a table, come in at Carrer de Santaló, 8 and go up to the hotel's first floor; you don't need a room.
Online, through the bookings page. If you're a large group or have a special request, such as a celebration, call us on 932 411 800 or email reservasbarcelona@zenithoteles.com and we'll arrange it with you.
Yes. Outdoor tables depend on availability each day, so ask for the terrace when you book and we'll confirm whether there's room for you.
Yes, several. The seasonal vegetable paella, chargrilled vegetables with romesco sauce, creamy mushroom risotto or the tomato and avocado tartare. If you're unsure about an ingredient, just ask when you order.
Yes. The children's menu has a beef burger with a side and Escalopa de Pollo, a breaded chicken fillet. Adults order from the main menu and you can all share starters.
Yes, and it's a good idea. Let us know when you book and remind the staff when you sit down: they'll explain what's in each dish and what you can order from the menu.
