Els 4 Gats – Los 4 Gatos in Barcelona: 27 reviews and 37 photos

Chris Pearrow

A must for a drink in Barcelona

Els 4 Gats (or, “The Four Cats” in English) is one of the most historic bar-restaurants in the city of Barcelona. The establishment was opened in 1897 and was for turn-of-the-century Catalan Modernism what cafes like La Rotonde were for artists in 1920’s Paris. It was a meeting place to trade ideas, engage in wine-fueled debates, and see exhibits up then-unknown artists like Pablo Picasso.

These days, El 4 Gats is more of a meeting place for fanny-packed tourists than for artists and intellectuals, but it’s still worth a stop to have a quick drink in downtown Barcelona.

Bohemian Barcelona

No one can say he or she has visited Barcelona without going to Els 4 Gats (the four cats). A lovely place, spectacular from the outside, despite being squeezed in the very narrow Montsió street that goes unseen between the luminous signs of Portal de l’Angel and the endless clothing shops.

It’s a place of worship for many from Barcelona. Charged with culture and history, modernism, bohemia, Picasso, Pere Romeu, Ramón Casas, Albéniz or Granados, among others. It is currently a beautiful and well-known bar-restaurant, full or art by painters like Rusiñol. It’s run by one of the most prestigious groups in Barcelona.

The high point of your walk in the Gothic Quarter

It is in many guides of Barcelona but that doesn’t mean it’s lost its charm. It is something like Café Gijón in Madrid but set in a more beautiful building. And it is located on the ground floor of Casa Martí, a work of the genius José Puig i Cadafalch. I can talk about the place as a coffee shop, I only had a beer and thought about the works hanging on the wall for a minute (of artists like Picasso — who was a frequent client of the cafeteria) or the writers like Rubén Dario. Don’t miss it! It will be the high point of a nice walk in the Gothic Quarter.

100% recommended

I totally recommend a coffee in the restaurant Els 4 Gats. Many famous people used to gather there. The restaurant is decorated with articles and pictures of those artists and works of Picasso.

Impressive!!

I worked there for 6 months, I was a cleaner and it was a pleasure being surrounded by those frames. The walls preserve art and wisdom. I recommend going upstairs, you can see everything better and you have a really good angle to take pictures!

Els Quatre Gats – My Barcelona points

Els Quatre Gats (Catalan pronunciation: [əls ˈkwatɾə ˈɡats], Catalan for “The Four Cats”), often written Els 4 Gats, was a café in Barcelona (Catalonia) which opened on 12 June 1897. It also operated as a hostel, a cabaret, a pub and a restaurant. Active until 1903, Els Quatre Gats became one of the main centers of Modernisme in Barcelona. The artist Ramon Casas i Carbó largely financed this bar on the ground floor of Casa Martí (1896), a building by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch in Carrer Montsió near the center of Barcelona. Els Quatre Gats was reconstructed during the transition to democracy in 1978. Pablo Picasso visited this pub–restaurant often in his early art career.
“Four Cats” is a colloquial Catalan expression for “only a few people” and the name of Els Quatre Gats is derived from this saying. The four founders of the café—Pere Romeu, Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas, and Miguel Utrillo—also chose this name as a tribute to Le Chat Noir, “The Black Cat,” a celebrated Parisian café whose creator, Rodolphe Salis, had recently died. They modeled Els Quatre Gats largely after the Parisian café.
Other major artists who met in this cafe were Santiago Rusiñol and Miquel Utrillo as well as the sculptor Julio González.
Els Quatre Gats was the inheritor of a legacy of tertulias and art reunions specific to Barcelona but also drew inspiration from the Parisian cabaret Le Chat Noir. Art exhibitions, literary and musical meetings, marionette shows and shadow plays also took place there.
Ramon Casas’ partners in the enterprise were Pere Romeu, who largely played host at the bar, as well as Rusiñol and Utrillo. The bar hosted revolving art exhibits, including one of the first one-man shows by Pablo Picasso; the most prominent piece in its permanent collection was a lighthearted Casas self-portrait, depicting him smoking a pipe while pedaling a tandem bicycle with Romeu as his stoker.
Like Le Chat Noir, Els 4 Gats attempted in 1899 its own literary and artistic magazine, to which Casas was a major contributor. That was short-lived (fifteen issues), but was soon followed by Pèl & Ploma, which would slightly outlast the bar itself, and Forma (1904–1908), to which Casas also contributed. Pèl & Ploma sponsored several prominent art exhibitions, including Casas’ own well-received first solo show (1899 at Sala Parés), which brought together a retrospective of his oil paintings as well as a set of charcoal sketches of contemporary figures prominent in Barcelona’s cultural life.
The bar closed in 1903 when Romeu was unable to keep it open because of debts. It was later used by the Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc until the start of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. In the 1970s, a group of restaurateurs took steps to revive it, and it reopened in 1989.

September 28, 00:02

The team of the ex-Spartak coach Unai Emery fell under the angry and motivated Barcelona.

Ronald Koeman has finally made his debut as Barcelona head coach after a crazy off-season. The possible departure of Leo Messi, the transfers of Luis Suarez, Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic and others, the lack of purchases for Koeman himself: all this distracted the Dutchman from work, interfering with preparations for the season. According to Marca, the 57-year-old coach has doubts and distrust about what is happening in the Catalan club. He feels insecure to some extent, as management does not keep promises.

Video of the day

Today, the blue garnet reserves included newcomers whose transfers were arranged in advance – Miralem Pjanic, Francisco Trincan and Pedri. Unexpectedly, 18-year-old Argentine defender Santiago Ramos Mingo was also included in the application. This season, Villarreal is no less interesting to follow than Barcelona. The team was led by the ex-coach of Spartak, PSG and London’s Arsenal Unai Emery. The club has made some interesting signings, including former Valencia midfielders Dani Parejo and Francis Coquelin. In addition, the “Japanese Messi” Takefuso Kubo was rented from Real Madrid. “Yellow Submarine” started in the Example with a draw against “Huesca” (1:1) and a victory over “Eibar” (2:1).

Ansu Fati: two goals and a penalty in 35 minutes

Koeman chose a 4-2-3-1 formation for his debut against Villarreal. It is curious that the Dutch coach, contrary to his own words that expensive players should play in the most convenient positions for themselves, sent Antoine Griezmann to the right flank. However, the French often moved to the center during attacks, opening up a zone for Sergi Roberto to connect. Ansu Fati acted on the left, and ahead of Philippe Coutinho was located under Messi. At the same time, according to the situation and desire, Leo sank into the depths behind the ball. Barça had good movement in the attacking group, both in possession and in defense, when it was necessary to return the ball quickly. Emery tried to stop the opponent with a compact 4-4-2, covering the center of the field as much as possible, but his plan did not work for long. Barça dominated, winning the first half on shots – 8:2 (on target – 5:0). The hosts of Camp Nou opened the scoring in the 15th minute. There is no space in the center – they opened the flank. Clement Lenglet made an excellent long pass to Jordi Alba, who cut a short diagonal to Fati who came running. The winger shot into the near top corner, which was opened by goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo. Having conceded, Emery’s team tried to open up, but allowed a monstrous gap in the middle under pressure. The same Lenglet quickly delivered the ball to Coutinho, who freely dragged the ball forward and gave it to Fati. Ansu scored a double, and again with a blow to the near corner, but already at the bottom.

Leo Messi: seven shots on goal and one goal from the penalty spot

What about Messi? Leo, despite all the problems of the summer offseason, did not seem like a man who does not care what happens on the field. Moved well, sharpened. In the 34th minute, he scored from the penalty spot. Fati played great here too, earning a penalty kick. Mario Gaspar stepped on the young winger’s foot. Messi also participated in the fourth goal of the Catalans before the break. His pass to Sergio Busquets was turned into an own goal by Pau Torres. The defender panicked and cut the ball into his own net. In the second half, Emery added an extra midfielder in place of Paco Alcácer to pick up the ball. But the guests did little in attack. Barcelona defended well positionally, with which they had problems before, slowing down the pace with ball control. Koeman refreshed the game with substitutions: Pjanic, Trincan and Pedri made their debuts, Ousmane Dembele returned 10 months later. Left the field, including Griezmann, who made only 30 touches of the ball in 76 minutes and generally did not shock. After the break, Barcelona landed nine shots against Villarreal’s only four (4-1 on target). Messi scored seven times in the match. Leo had several chances in the second half, but then Asenjo rescued the “yellow submarine”, then the Argentine himself was inaccurate. Once headbutted without resistance from 8-9meters: the ball flew past the gate. Judging by this match, Barcelona is recovering. But more or less serious conclusions about the work of Koeman with the team can not be done soon. One big win won’t make you quickly forget 2-8 against Bayern – only success at a distance.
