About This Museum

You might not expect to find a museum of culinary history tucked between the high-fashion boutiques of Passeig de Gràcia, but that's the Delicious Agency for you. It feels less like a sterile gallery and more like stepping into the bustling, aromatic kitchen of a passionate Catalan abuela. The walls are lined with century-old recipe manuscripts, their margins stained with olive oil and wine, next to a stunning collection of vintage vermouth casks. Every item tells a story of family, fiestas, and the flavors that truly built this city.

Collection Highlights

Look for the handwritten 'libro de la casa' from a long-gone bodega, its pages filled with daily accounts and meal notes. The centerpiece is arguably their dazzling array of early 20th-century soda siphons, all polished chrome and colorful enamel, standing like sentinels from a more effervescent time.

Visitor Information

Pop in anytime during the week; it's small enough that you won't need to block out your whole afternoon. Just be prepared to leave feeling very, very hungry.

Architecture & Building

Housed in a classic Eixample 'flat' with soaring ceilings, its original hydraulic tiles still pave the floor, worn smooth by generations of footsteps.
