In a small, quiet street, just a stone’s throw from Las Ramblas, you’ll find the Granja Viader, a little café with a modernist frontage and a slightly old-fashioned look.<\/p>\n

The place will appeal as much to those looking to immerse themselves in local life in a thoroughly laid-back way as to those looking to experience a touch of local colour before continuing on their merry way.<\/p>\n

The Viader story<\/h2>\n

\nThe first shop opened on the Viader site in 1870 was a dairy. In 1910, it changed to take its current form, taking the name of its owner, Marc Viader, and our story begins!<\/p>\n

Focusing on the quality of his products, Marc Viader slowly built up a solid reputation and a faithful client base. The business soon became so successful that all 5 of Viader’s sons became involved.<\/p>\n

Since then, the Granja Viader has diversified, and no longer simply creates and sells dairy products: it’s now a well-known and widely-appreciated café. The business has never been sold, and is currently run by  the fifth generation of the Viader family.<\/p>\n

Viader products and specialities<\/h2>\n

Hot chocolate: the star of the show<\/h3>\n

\nViader’s hot chocolate is typical of what you’ll find in Barcelona: rich, thick and covered with cream. They’re known as suis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This drink is the reason for Viader’s international renown. Pablo Picasso himself came to the Granja Viader for hot chocolate! The same experience will set you back less than 4 euros.\n<\/p>\n

Cakes<\/h3>\n

\nA variety of cakes are made on site at the Granja Viader, including cheesecakes, apple tart and churros. They’re all based on the founder’s family recipes.<\/p>\n

Try the melindros<\/em>, flat, fluffy finger biscuits. Perfect with a hot chocolate! They’re also budget-friendly, at under 2 euros for a plate of four.<\/p>\n

Cheese and dairy products<\/h3>\n

\nThe Granja Viader continues to produce cheese, cream, yoghurt and a range of other dairy products, which are all available to take away or to taste in the café itself.<\/p>\n

Another Catalan speciality which you can try at the Granja is mel i mató<\/a>, a fromage frais – based dessert.\n<\/p>\n

One of Barcelona’s most popular granjas<\/em><\/h2>\n

\nDespite the fact that it’s popular with tourists (it’s recommended in a lot of guides), locals in Barcelona still enjoy a trip to Viader just as much as in times gone by, and this plays an important part in the charm of the place.<\/p>\n

The Granja Viader is authentic, popular and charming. Victim of its own success, it can fill up very quickly: to be sure of getting a table, it’s best to visit during the week at opening time, either around 9am or around 5pm.<\/p>\n
