Casa Gay Kitchen Shop Barcelona, Eixample

18th May 2017 3 Comments

A reader wrote in to ask me about a Kitchen shop. Where might she find one? Williams Sonoma or Sur La Table type places.
Ah –
Well…
You see, those kind of places don’t really exist in Barcelona. Kitchen Shop Barcelona are a hard find.

Paris has the likes of Mora or E.Dehillerin to swoon over, with more copper than there are cheeses in France. (Maybe. Possibly. There are 450 distinct types of French cheeses and there are a lot of copper pots in E. Dehillerin.)

London has the Cookware shops of the big department stores and independents like Divertimenti or Lakeland.

The closest thing might be the cookware section at El Corte Ingles. You are more likely to find a cake pop maker than anything actually useful and necessary for a kitchen. Then there is Macro a large cash & carry used by restaurants small and large: accessible only with a membership card. Here you will find cheap utilitarian kitchen ware – for example, they will have a zester but it won’t be a microplane (I did get a great deBuyer crêpe pan here the other day.)

Pots at Kitchen Shop Barcelona Casa GayIf you don’t have a hookup with someone who has a Macro card, I’ve got another suggestion for you: Casa Gay. This place can set you up for with the basics. Afore mentioned Microplane graters in a selection of sizes. Aluminium cake pans, the best ones to ensure that your bakes don’t get too dark on the outside before the inside has had a chance to cook. Copper ware: I have one large straight sided Mauviel copper sauté pan and though it cost a small fortune, the results it gives me with poultry and meat are unrivaled.

Equipment at Kitchen Shop Barcelona Casa GayCasa Gay has a large selection of Arcos knives, a Spanish made brand that is cheap to buy but easy to keep sharp. They also sell Robotcoups, pasta rollers, silicone bakeware, pots, pans. Most things you need to fit a professional kitchen.

That’s what you want after all. Things sturdy enough to withstand the intense use of a professional kitchen at good value for your kitchen home.

Give it a whir and let me know what you think.

    I have used Cuisinaart all my life, even had one made 220 volts for me when Irving in Argentina many years ago. When moving to Cadiz twelve years ago I purchased a ROBOT COUP, in two words, HATE IT.

    I have actually come across several SUPER kitchen shops in and around Gracia. At present I do not have the names and address’ but on my next trip into ‘the big city’ I will certainly note them down for you.

      I use a Magimix at home but I used a Robot Coup at work and didn’t mind it. Definitely share the kitchen shop addresses in a comment. For me – I find that some shops do somethings well and lack other bits. They aren’t holistic. Case Gay covers a lot of essential ground skipping a lot of trendy silly gadgets.

📍Batea Barcelona — Gran Via, 605 Michelin 202 📍Batea Barcelona — Gran Via, 605
Michelin 2025 recommended and absolutely deserved.

Between the Betanzos tortilla drowning in prawn head jus and the delicately plated ceviche, Batea balances tradition with a polished, confident creativity. It’s seafood-forward but far from predictable.

Highlights:
🦐 Tortilla with prawns
🥒 Flawless ceviche
🥖 Bread + algae butter = don’t skip it
🌿 Falafel of algae & bluefin tuna (!)

Their design nods to the nostalgic brasseries of old, but this is very much Barcelona now. Grab a table. Order generously.

Contracorrent Bistró has a new (ish) spot in Grà Contracorrent Bistró has a new (ish) spot in Gràcia. A melding of Catalan and Italian flavours and a focus on ingredients. As highlighted by the row of vines from the family estate that are suspended from the ceiling. 
The choice is between two tasting menus. Of course my friend and I selected the largest one!
A flurry of small plates and bowls ensued. Just the way I like it, lots of variety but I didn’t have to waddle out of there. 
The warm and knowledgeable service was the cherry on top.

I feel like the one coffee shop per block thing ha I feel like the one coffee shop per block thing has been done ad nauseam - instead I would like to petition for one cheese shop per block. Found this darling one on the corner from one of my favourite restaurants.
What about you? Do you think we have reached peak coffee shop saturation in the city?

The foie sauce pasta @maleducat should be illegal. The foie sauce pasta @maleducat should be illegal. It’s not a plate to share - even with someone you love. 🫣
Of course the tomato tartar with mackerel continues to make me happy.

Out of curiosity I joined the queue @bouillonlinst Out of curiosity I joined the queue @bouillonlinsta - a warehouse of a restaurant with continuous service and small prices. I can see the appeal - the rice pudding with caramel sauce was ace. Three courses with cider 18€!

Something for the weekend @tangana_restaurant beca Something for the weekend @tangana_restaurant because it’s chef led, with good chairs and just the right feeling. Gilda - yes. And the Mitake mushroom but with way more colour then this picture - I hadn’t realized that apricot panna cotta is what’s missing from my life - (not pictured because the best moments often aren’t captured.)
