Can Gassó

Can Gassó is an 18th-century Catalan masia (traditional farmhouse) in the town of Teià, in the Maresme region of Barcelona province. The building sits at the foot of the Serralada Litoral, the coastal hill range that runs along the Maresme shoreline, and since a thorough 2020 renovation it has operated as a restaurant while keeping the historic character of the old farm building intact.

How do you get to Can Gassó?

The building is located at Passeig de la Plana 31 in Teià, a short drive northeast of Barcelona in the heart of Maresme, a region known for its vineyards and small coastal towns. Arriving by car is the most convenient option, since the site has parking for more than 40 vehicles, making it an easy stop even on busy weekend afternoons when nearby streets can get crowded. An alternative is taking the regional coastal railway to one of the nearby Maresme-line stations and continuing by local transport or taxi.

What will you see at Can Gassó?

What stands out as soon as you arrive is the contrast between old and new. The stone walls and overall shape of the 18th-century masia have been preserved and left visible, while the interior has been adapted for a modern restaurant, with two floors connected by a lift and a sound-treated dining room that keeps the space feeling intimate even when busy. The 2020 renovation deliberately kept "the identity of the old house," adding only modern finishing touches — a good example of how a traditional Maresme farm building can be given new life without losing its character. The setting itself, at the foot of the hills with views over the green slopes around Teià, is worth a moment of its own.

What can you eat there?

The kitchen at Can Gassó draws on Mediterranean tradition, with an emphasis on homestyle cooking and desserts made in-house. A budget-friendly set menu is available on weekdays, while the à la carte menu offers a wider selection at a higher price point. That mix draws both locals popping in for a quick business lunch and visitors looking for a longer, unhurried meal inside a historic building.

When should you visit?

The restaurant is open daily except Mondays and Tuesdays, from 10:00 to 19:00, covering breakfast, lunch and early evening hours. Weekday lunchtime is a good choice if you want a quieter atmosphere and the cheaper set menu, since weekends tend to be busier. Teià and the wider Maresme region are at their best in spring and early autumn, when temperatures are mild and the surrounding hills and vineyards look their most scenic.
