About De Barcelona

Sizzling paella pans and hot churros turn this Glenferrie Road haunt into a lively Spanish retreat. Groups crowd around jugs of sangria, sharing crisp empanadas and chicken chorizo paella against exposed brick walls. Regulars drop by between university lectures for espresso and morning fried dough, taking advantage of table power outlets to recharge. The dessert counter commands attention with thick Spanish hot chocolate and custom churros—piped fresh, crisp-shelled, and injected with warm caramel.

  • Specialty filled churros: Piped to order and served crisp, featuring caramel fillings, coated varieties, and thick Spanish hot chocolate.
  • Sharing paella pans: Generous pans of seafood, chicken, and chorizo rice built for passing around communal tables.
  • Study-friendly setup: Close to campus with table power outlets and morning coffee pairings that suit quick work sessions.

    Warm, freshly prepared churros arrive crispy on the outside and tender inside, served with rich dipping sauces.
