Wood-fired pork in Barcelona centre: this is how it’s actually done

Looking for a wood-fired pork restaurant in Barcelona centre? Stop. You’ve found it. At ComePorketa, in the Eixample right next to the Sagrada Família, we’ve served over 20,000 porketas using indirect heat and a 12-hour smoke process. No shortcuts. No nonsense.

Wood-fired pork in Barcelona centre: what doing it properly actually means

Barcelona has no shortage of grills. But not all of them are the same.

When we talk about a wood-fired pork restaurant in Barcelona centre, the difference isn’t the name above the door — it’s the technique. At ComePorketa we use indirect heat combined with slow smoking: the heat wraps around the cut without direct flame contact. The result is a pork belly that’s crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with up to 70% less fat than traditional pork belly.

Not magic. Just process. 🔥

• House-made rubs applied before every cook.
• 12 hours of preparation from start to plate.
• No preservatives, no shortcuts: everything comes in fresh and goes out made.

That’s what separates a proper wood-fired pork restaurant from the rest.

Why ComePorketa is the wood-fired pork restaurant in Barcelona centre you’ll keep coming back to

We opened in August 2024. In year one we crossed 20,000+ porketas served. That’s not a marketing figure — it’s the response from locals, Eixample workers and tourists who walk down from the Sagrada Família and end up walking in because of the smell.

The reviews say it straight: 4.9 on Google and 8.9 on TheFork.

We’re at Carrer de València 438, in the heart of the Eixample, a short walk from the Sagrada Família. Open 07:00–03:00, with vending available during certain hours. This isn’t a single-sitting restaurant — it’s a neighbourhood spot with neighbourhood hours.

And the team — Pedro, Rodolfo Jr., Rodolfo Dad, Isaías, Celes, Bea — knows exactly what they’re doing. 🥩

The Porky Burger 🔥

A wood-fired pork belly burger that has nothing to do with a regular burger. If you’re not sure why yet, find out in our post about the best burger restaurant near the Sagrada Família.

Burry Belly and Porky Rolls

The house signature sandwich and the table sharer. For when you come with company and everyone wants to eat at their own pace.

Yuca Croquettes

The menu’s wildcard. The dish nobody expects and everyone orders again. Same story as our healthy option near the Sagrada Família: the thing that doesn’t fit the mould is always the one that lands hardest.
