As a gift for his adored wife, Consuelo Fabra i Puig, Mariano Fuster commissioned modernist architect Lluís Domènch i Montaner to design Casa Fuster. The magnificent home was the most expensive in the city when it was completed in 1907, but the family lived there only briefly.
Decorated with Art Nouveau–inspired furnishings. You can enjoy concerts in the exclusive atmosphere or the Vienes Café or have a lovely perspective of the sunset from the roof terrace.

I wouldn't go during the Summer time (too hot and turistic!). However, any other time is great during the day, they have a great terrace where you can sit down or even lie in the chill out sofas having a cocktail or grabbing something to eat. The menu is also an interesting fusion of asian and indian food. Decoration inside is just amazing.
