Restaurant for groups, celebrations and work lunches in the Eixample

Marés has room for large groups: a spacious dining room, a private room for events and an inner courtyard with trees. From ten guests there are three celebration menus, and from fifteen, three standing receptions. You'll find us at Comte Borrell, 208, inside the Hotel Zenit Borrell.

The space

Dining room, private room and courtyard for your group

The dining room is spacious, with a wooden ceiling and large windows onto the inner courtyard, and for events there's a private room where your group can eat at its own pace. In good weather the courtyard, with its trees, white gravel and lights at dusk, works for pre-dinner drinks or a standing reception. If you'd like the room or the courtyard, ask when you book: it depends on what's free that day.

What group organisers usually ask

The celebration menus start at ten people and the standing receptions at fifteen. If your group is smaller, give us a call and we'll see whether the à la carte menu or the weekday lunch menu suits you better.

On the menus page, which lists the three celebration menus and the three standing receptions with up-to-date prices. If you're not sure what each one includes, give us a call.

Yes, if they're free that day. Ask when you book, with the date and number of guests, and we'll confirm whether your group can have the private room or drinks in the courtyard.
