4. 4 Gats

Step into 4Gats Café to experience a slice of Barcelona’s cultural history while savoring exquisite cuisine and conversation. Inspired by Paris’s “Le Chat Noir” cabaret during the modernist era, emerged in 1897 as a vibrant cultural hub in Barcelona. Among the regulars was a 17-year-old Pablo Picasso, who held his first exhibition at the 4Gats in 1899 and even designed the image of the letter. Until this very day, 4Gats continues to be a place of inspiration for artists of great recognition. In 2008, scenes from Woody Allen’s “Vicky Christina Barcelona”, starring Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, and Javier Bardem, were filmed in its main room, adding to its rich tapestry of cultural significance.
