We present you our best Peruvian restaurants
COYA is not only a place to taste exquisite dishes, but also a space where art, music, cocktails and a sophisticated atmosphere converge, making it one of the most desired destinations in Barcelona.
A cuisine with roots and global spirit
The heart of COYA is, without a doubt, its gastronomic proposal. Inspired by traditional Peruvian cuisine, the menu includes Chifa and Nikkei influences, which add Chinese and Japanese touches to the dishes, enriching the flavors and taking the culinary experience to a new level. Must-tries include seafood ceviche, tiraditos and anticuchos, all prepared with techniques that respect the roots of Peruvian cuisine, but with a modern and creative approach.
Maymanta and the art of Peruvian fusion
The entrees also reflect this fusion. From wagyu steak to lacquered duck, through options such as Nikkei rice and strip roast, each creation is designed to take the diner on a journey of flavors. Care in the selection of ingredients and impeccable presentation make each dish a work of art. There is no shortage of vegetarian options, such as grilled broccoli or green rice with vegetables, feta and tomato confit, designed for those seeking lighter alternatives without sacrificing flavor. And to close the gastronomic experience, the desserts stand out for their creativity, with options such as lime and orange churros accompanied by chocolate and dulce de leche.
An atmosphere that invites you to stay
Beyond the food, COYA differentiates itself by the ambiance it creates. The restaurant’s interior design combines modern elements with décor inspired by Peruvian art and culture. Each corner is adorned with unique pieces that transport diners to the heart of the Andes, while live music by DJs adds a special energy to the place.
Leche de Tigre and the essence of Peruvian street food in Barcelona
In summer, the experience moves to its spectacular terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. This open-air space is ideal for an afterwork, a dinner under the stars or simply to enjoy a cocktail while gazing at the sea. The terrace also hosts themed events, such as the famous White Night, which brings together lovers of good food, music and exclusive experiences in a festive atmosphere.
The magic of the Pisco Bar
A separate chapter deserves the Pisco Bar, one of the pillars of COYA. Inspired by the traditional bars of Lima, this space offers a wide variety of cocktails made with pisco, the grape distillate that is Peru’s national emblem. The creativity and quality of its cocktails are indisputable, from the classic pisco sour to unique macerations with ingredients such as pineapple, basil or citronella. The bar also has a careful selection of homemade infusions and cocktails that integrate tropical fruits and fresh herbs. These drinks stand out not only for their intense flavors, but also for their presentation, which turns each cocktail into a visual experience.
An exceptional wine list
The COYA experience would not be complete without mentioning its impressive wine list. With more than twenty choices by the glass and a range of bottles that includes references from Spain, France, Italy, the United States and Latin America, the restaurant caters to the most discerning tastes. From local labels from Priorat and Montsant to international gems such as the 2018 Pingus, each wine is carefully selected to complement the flavors of the menu. The focus on Catalan wines is particularly prominent, with ample representation from appellations such as Penedès, Costers del Segre and Empordà. Corpinnat sparkling wines are also present, an ideal choice for those looking for a perfect pairing with the fresh dishes on the menu.
A space for unique events
COYA Barcelona is not just a restaurant; it is also a venue for themed events that combine gastronomy, music and entertainment. From special dinners to iconic parties such as the Noche Blanca, the restaurant offers experiences that make it a meeting point for locals and visitors alike. These events, which often include live music, performances and a spectacular setting, reinforce COYA’s commitment to offer much more than just a meal.
