Veggie croquet: Tasted fine but I didnt love this. Beef stuffed inside bread: Its beautiful and looks like a chocolate truffle. It was a bit sweet for me, but overall it was fine. Artichoke leaves: Comes with a hefty portion of diced olives which my wife hates but she enjoyed the artichoke. Octopus shareable (I forget the name): My wife was floored by how good this was. She wanted 100 more... Chicken canneloni with foie gras: Decadent! Very tasty with lots of unique flavors. So rich and creamy, this was nothing like I expected and it was fantastic. Iberico ham and pasta (forgot the name): This was the star of the night! Very rich and decadent (I hate repeating myself but I have to). This dish will give you gout if eaten frequently. Utterly delicious. "French toast dessert": Their signature dessert for over 20 years. Imagine a better version of creme brulle but with French toast. It also comes with a scoop of hazelnut ice cream which really brings it all together. Definitely a fish forward restaurant, but their meat dishes stole the show.

The space is simple yet beautifully designed - clean lines, warm lighting, and a Nordic aesthetic that honestly reminded me of something you'd find in Copenhagen. Cozy, elegant, and unpretentious. Since we weren't too hungry, we focused on small bites and wine, and everything we tried was excellent - thoughtfully prepared, well-balanced, and clearly made with quality ingredients. A perfect match for the relaxed but refined atmosphere. Service was top-notch - genuinely friendly and attentive without being overbearing. You get the sense they care about what they're doing here. If I lived nearby, Viblioteca would definitely be in my regular rotation - ideal for anything from a casual glass of wine to a full dinner. A total standout in the Gràcia neighborhood. 5 stars
