Ten's Barcelona – Modern Tapas by Chef Jordi Cruz in El Born

Ten's: Tapas with Character in Barcelona's El Born

In the heart of Barcelona's El Born district, Ten's offers a fresh take on the classic Spanish tapa. Led by the vision of chef Jordi Cruz, the restaurant describes its approach as "tapas with character" – a place where tradition meets creativity and technique.

The team at Ten's is clear about their philosophy: "We don't do author cuisine for show. We make tapas with history, but without fear of reinventing them." The result is a menu where the familiar and the unexpected sit side by side. Each dish is designed for sharing, built on recognizable flavors but given a thoughtful, modern twist. The restaurant emphasizes that their modern cuisine is meant to be accessible, with options for all palates and dietary needs.

The space itself is part of the experience. Housed in a former Ultramarinos (a traditional grocery store), the venue blends modern design with a welcoming, urban feel. Ten's calls it "the most modern and transgressive neighborhood in Barcelona," and their dining room reflects that energy – a setting where good food is meant to be enjoyed with both the eyes and the senses.

Behind the scenes, a young, passionate team works in both the kitchen and the dining room, overseen by chef Jordi Cruz and backed by the hospitality of Grupo ABaC. This combination of technical skill and genuine warmth defines the service at Ten's.

This commitment to quality and reinvention has earned Ten's a place in the Michelin guide as a Recommended restaurant, a testament to its consistent execution and creative spirit. For anyone seeking modern tapas in Barcelona, Ten's delivers a meal that is both rooted in tradition and refreshingly original.
