# Franca Barcelona

> Cocina tradicional inventada — Invented traditional cooking.

Franca is a contemporary Catalan restaurant in Barcelona's Eixample neighbourhood, a 5-minute walk from Passeig de Gràcia (near Tetuan and Girona metro stops, L4). The cooking philosophy is "cuina tradicional inventada" (invented traditional cooking): imagining what traditional Catalan cuisine might have been if history had gone differently. Creative, casual fine dining with deep Mediterranean and traditional roots. Featured in Time Out Barcelona, La Vanguardia, Guía Repsol, Guía McCarthy, Slow Food Guide, and The Infatuation.
