Free-range Iberian pigs, raised on acorns in the Spanish dehesa. Cured 38 months. Imported from Spain and sliced to order — the closest thing to eating on a terrace in Barcelona.
Tangy potatoes, Brava sauce, aioli — and Beast mode if you want heat. The dish that's on every table, every night. There's a reason it's been on the menu since day one.
Spanish octopus, slow-cooked to tenderness, finished with potato cream and Pimentón XO. One of the most requested dishes on the menu.
A fresh oyster served with chilled Gazpacho — the sea and the Spanish countryside in a single bite.
Burrata Di Stefano, La Salada with avocado and tuna, Cali-Flower with Romesco — light enough to share before the paella arrives, good enough to order twice.

The most extensive Spanish wine list in the Walnut Creek area. Every bottle selected by Catalonian sommeliers, from Albariño on the Atlantic coast to Garnacha from Priorat.
Our sommelier team is happy to guide you — just ask your server.
We've been coming here since they opened in 2016 and it's still our favorite spot in Walnut Creek. The Paella Mixta is the standard we judge every other paella against. The marbled bar with a glass of Albariño before dinner — this is our place.
Hosted my husband's 50th in the Dalí Room with 22 guests overlooking Main Street. The events team coordinated everything — family-style tapas, two paellas, a Spanish wine pairing. The Iberian ham carved tableside was the moment of the night.
My go-to for client lunches. Quiet enough to talk strategy, beautiful enough to set the tone. The Barcelona Lunch menu is the best-value three-course in downtown Walnut Creek — paella for $34 and a Rioja by the glass.
The Terrace at sunset is one of the best outdoor dining moments in the East Bay. We split the lobster paella, ordered Crab Croquetas twice, and watched Mt Diablo light up. Walking distance from BART, free parking next door — perfect.
I'm Spanish and was skeptical of every Spanish restaurant I'd tried in California. This one is the real thing. The pan con tomate is right, the tortilla is right, the Rioja list is serious. Whoever runs the kitchen knows what they're doing.
My birthday dinner with 14 friends in the Dalí Room — the floor-to-ceiling windows over Main Street and the candlelight made it feel like a movie scene. Wagyu Empanadas, Patatas Bravas, two Paellas Mixta. Service walked us through every Spanish wine. Everyone is still talking about it.
The original Telefèric in California and you can tell. Ten years in and still the bar to beat in the East Bay for tapas. The Paella Negra arrived sizzling, jet-black with proper socarrat — exactly how it should be. Highly recommend the Spanish wine flights.
Took my parents here for their anniversary — they live in Danville and had never been. They've already booked a return for two weeks later. Tableside Iberian ham, Paella Mixta, churros at the end. The 180-degree bar is a piece of art.
Family-style dinner before a Lesher Center show. Wagyu Empanadas, Tuna Tacos, Iberico Paella for the table. Quick service when we told them about the curtain time. Best pre-theatre dinner in downtown Walnut Creek.
Reserve your table at Telefèric Barcelona Walnut Creek — the original US location. Paellas are made to order, so let us know when you sit down.
