Terrace and courtyard · Comte Borrell, 208
Marés is the restaurant at Hotel Zenit Borrell, at Comte Borrell, 208, on the corner of Mallorca. Its terrace isn't on the pavement: it's in the hotel's inner courtyard, and you can book even if you're not staying.
The courtyard
The courtyard has trees, a gravel floor, timber decking and rush-seat chairs, and as night falls, lights come on among the plants. Because it's enclosed, you eat outdoors without the street right beside you. Outside, you order from the same menu as in the dining room: bravas for the middle of the table, a salad or a paella to share. In the evening, with the lights on, you can see the courtyard from the dining room too.

If there's no room outside
Outdoor tables vary from day to day. Book or ring us with the date and how many of you there are, tell us you'd like the terrace and we'll confirm whether there's space. If the courtyard is full or the weather isn't on your side, the dining room has large windows onto the courtyard and tables for two by the glass doors, which open onto the garden, so you still see the trees.
