Tapas as served in Barcelona

At El Gordo, tapas are served just as they are in Barcelona. This means dishes are brought out in the order they’re prepared, with no distinction between appetizers and main courses. Tapas are not just a way of eating but a way of socializing, where you can share dishes with your dining companions.

El Gordo offers both lunch and dinner, which can be enjoyed on-site or taken to go.

Outdoor seating in summer

During the summer, the restaurant opens its spacious outdoor terrace with a perfect location by Lake Munksjön. The terrace enjoys delightful afternoon sunshine, allowing guests to soak up the lively atmosphere around the Atollen area.
