About Cafè Salambó
Classic Gràcia café with vintage charm, marble tables, and a loyal neighborhood following since 1909. Famous for their croissants, cortados, and the locals who spend hours reading newspapers at the bar. The interior retains its original modernista details and authentic atmosphere.
Insider Tips
Stand at the bar like the locals do for the cheapest prices - table service costs extra and the real atmosphere is at the counter anyway.
