The Salterio is a little treasure of a tea house, located discreetly in the Gothic Quarters. It is located in one of the narrow streets in this quarter and a must visit place. Mateo is the very welcoming, calm, relaxed host and he prepares any one of the many different teas to select from with fresh, aromatic ingredients. He also prepares any one of the delicious choices from the food selection, with loving care, fresh ingredients and lots of positive, uplifting vibes.
From the moment you enter this enchanting cavern, you are whisked away to another time, where time stood still, and you can forget about the busy nature of modern life for a few hours of memorable Barcelona nostalgia, charming stories of adventure and discovery (when you engage with Mateo) and a lovely choice of seldom heard, eclectic music carefully and personally chosen by Mateo.
As life-long tea drinkers, the Salterio was worth every step we took to discover it. But be careful, if you are using google maps to locate it, you could easily miss it as it’s a hidden gem. So look for it carefully with your own eyes and you won’t...

Read moreWalked in here wanting a place to drink some tea, rest my feet and get away from the heat. This is indeed the place that fulfills those needs. As soon as you walk in, it feels very cozy, intimate and cool. It is not so well lit to preserve the feeling that u are in a cave. There is an English and Spanish menu that is very helpful. The people who work at the cafe are extremely nice. The service may be bit slow since there are only 2-3 staff forbthe entire place. This is a place to relax and where u can take your time and not be in a rush. The bathroom and sink are located in a side room that is very dark. However, there is a switch to turn on the light.
