Restaurant Morreig

Morreig is a pastry and ice cream shop in Barcelona's Gràcia neighbourhood that has quickly become a local legend. Founded in May 2023 by French pastry chef Matthieu Atzenhoffer, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France (one of France's highest pastry honours), and his partner Alba Ruiz Ceamanos, a pastry chef and gastro-physics researcher, the shop combines French technique with Catalan creativity.

Their philosophy is simple: craftsmanship, seasonal ingredients, and no shortcuts. The display case features classic French pastries like the croissant and pain au chocolat, alongside original creations such as the cult favourite Flam Morreig — a vanilla custard-filled flaky pastry — and a coconut croissant. But the real star is the hot brioche sandwich filled with house-made ice cream, which creates a magnificent contrast of temperatures and textures.
