A natural wine bar integrated with Can Cisa, the bottle shop at the front — you enter through the wine retail space and pass into the bar at the back, which makes the whole venue a single experience of tasting and buying. The wine list is deep, personal, and tilted heavily toward the natural and biodynamic producers of Catalunya, the Jura, and wherever else the owners' palates have been exploring. The by-the-glass selection rotates constantly, the food is simple and designed to accompany wine rather than compete with it, and the atmosphere is the atmosphere of a wine bar run by people who drink what they sell.
