Birthdays in uptown Barcelona
At Mediterránea, inside the Hotel Zenit Barcelona, you can celebrate a birthday from the à la carte menu with a standard booking or, for 10 or more, with a set menu and a private room. Boards in the middle of the table, rice dishes to share, a dessert for the candles and cava for a toast.

To start
At a birthday, the easiest thing is to order for the middle and let everyone help themselves. The Selección de Quesos Españoles comes with walnuts, honey and dried apricots, and it goes well alongside the Tabla de Jamón Ibérico with pan con tomate, the creamy Croquetas de Ibérico y Cocido and the Berenjenas rebozadas con miel de caña (fried aubergine with cane honey). Then one or two rice dishes for the table, such as the Paella Mediterránea or the Mar y Montaña, or a main each.

Dessert
The Coulant de chocolate comes out warm, with vanilla ice cream and syrup, and it shares well with a few spoons. There is also Copa de helado, seasonal fruit and a homemade Postre del día (dessert of the day). If you want to bring a cake or have dessert arrive at a particular moment, call us before the day and we will tell you what we can do.
Our house cava by the glass is brut, and sangria is served by the litre for sharing. The Postre del día changes, so ask what it is when you sit down.

Homemade dessert of the day
If you book online, give us a ring afterwards on 932 411 800 and tell us whose birthday it is and when you would like dessert. That way the team knows from the moment you arrive and you don't have to sneak off to tell anyone.
For bigger celebrations we offer a set menu and there is a private room. Call us or email reservasbarcelona@zenithoteles.com before you fix the date and we will put the menu together with you.
The children's menu has a Hamburguesa de Ternera (beef burger) and an Escalopa de Pollo (chicken escalope), and the Copa de helado is an easy dessert for the little ones. The grown-ups can go for the rice dishes or the boards.
Ask your guests beforehand and let us know when you book. Without meat or fish there is the seasonal Paella de Verduras, the Verduras a la brasa en salsa Romesco (chargrilled vegetables) and the creamy Risotto de Setas.

“La atención es como la de la abuela nona. Me sentí en casa y encima me llenaron el termo con agua caliente para el mate.”

That is what one of the reviews says: a group of friends came to celebrate a birthday and singled out how wonderful the service was. Book for lunch or dinner and celebrate from the à la carte menu.
No. A table of four or six can book online like any other and order from the menu. The set menu is for celebrations of 10 or more.
Ask when you call to book on 932 411 800. We will tell you if it is possible that day and how to arrange it; if not, the Coulant de chocolate or the Postre del día round off the celebration nicely.
Yes, there is a private room for group celebrations. It depends on the date, so ask us about it before you give your guests the day.
Ask for it when you book. The terrace depends on availability on the day and how many of you there are, so we will confirm whether there is room outside for your table.
For a big table or a work lunch: how to book and what to order to share between lots of people.
If it's a child's birthday: the children's menu and the dishes that suit the whole family.
If it's just the two of you: a quiet dinner, which table to ask for and what to share.
For a small group, book online and let us know it's a celebration. For 10 or more, call us on 932 411 800 and we will prepare the set menu.
