History

El Pintor Restaurant is located in the old district of the city of Barcelona. Its name comes from an old workshop of a painter from the end of the 19th Century.

The Gothic neighborhood, full of history, is harboring the remains of the Roman city and the ensemble of medieval buildings where the Catalan monarchy reigned for some five hundred years.

El Pintor restaurant stands in street San Honorat, next to the emblematic Sant Jaume Square, the geographical centre of the neighborhood, flanked on either side by the City Hall, and the Palau de la Generalitat (Government of Catalonia), both of them initially gothic and expanded in subsequent architectural epochs.

This hood is divided into what once were handcraft-based areas, antique shops, bookshops and original shops- which maintain the activity and added interest of this historic area.
