El Rectangle

Open Kitchen Bar

The Concept

An open kitchen counter built around fire

El Rectangle dissolves the boundary between kitchen and guest. Seated along our wooden counter, you're inside the action — watching our team stoke the robata coals, carve seasonal produce, and plate creative sharing tapas directly before you.

We operate with a seasonal, zero-waste mindset. Slow-simmered broths from yesterday's grill form the depth of today's croquetas, and local Catalan crops meet bold global techniques.
