El Convent

Our aim is the indulgence of our customers, think that a meal has to be something more that seat and eat

“The Convent” was born in August 2014, at the city center of Vilafranca del Penedès, in the old town. That gives us the privilege to share spot with part of the historic heritage of the city. The restaurant has integrated its facilities trying to maintain the original building structure, looking for the balance between ambiance and functionality.

We were searching a place where we could go back to the past, a place with history where we could breathe the passage of time, and at the same time we could develop our activity.
Why “el Convent”?
At the beginning, while we were reconditioning the place, we were told that a convent was located in this site. A little while later we discovered from the city archives that no convent was ever established in this part of the old town. But this information arrived late… and we had already created one!

Our gastronomy offer could be described as Mediterranean cuisine, traditional and creative at the same time. We are opened to different worldwide proposals, this is why you can find some touches from everywhere in our menus.

Our customer’s satisfaction is our aim. We believe that a meal has to be something more than having a seat and eating. It has to be a whole experience, a pleasant moment to share with family or friends. We put a part of the ingredients, the rest depends on you.
Wine has a strong presence in our land, our tradition and our culture. For these reasons we propose to our customers a wide range of different wines, mostly from this region, El Penedès. We believe that there is a wine for each occasion, for each moment, for each meal.
We are very grateful about customer’s confidence that motivate us to continue growing and improving day by day.
