Set menus · Catering · Drop-off
Group reservations at the restaurant, full-service catering at your venue, or drop-off in trays. Menus are named after Barcelona's neighborhoods — tapas-forward, paella-anchored, dietary-flexible.

Why Telefèric for events

Spanish paella cooked to order, jamón ibérico de bellota imported from Spain, tapas built by Executive Chef Oscar Cabezas. The food carries the room.
The Padrosa family opened the first Telefèric in Sant Cugat in 1992. The same hospitality philosophy runs every event we host in Newport Beach today.
