It is located in the Palau Nacional's former Throne Room, where King Alfonso XIII inaugurated the 1929 International Exhibition. With room for 100 people, the Òleum covers 2,475 square feet and has a superb view of Barcelona which can be enjoyed from the large windows and seen reflected and repeated in the ceiling mirrors.
The restaurant preserves its original decoration, which has been modernised and complemented with comfortable, modern furniture and fittings made from exotic materials such as wengé. With its individually controlled lighting, the Òleum manages to create a cosy atmosphere in a sober and at the same time elegant setting. At night, it makes a unique venue in which to hold a business dinner in combination with other rooms and exclusive night-time visits to the Museum.
The Cafè del MNAC is located in the Museum's Oval Room. It has food and drink available to visitors at any time during their visit. Apart from its extensive offer in snacks and sandwiches, the restaurant also serves a range of set meals on weekdays and a la carte meals at weekends.
Open Tuesday to Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm, and Sunday and Monday, 10 am to 3 pm.
Located by the Museum entrance, it offers bar services in the open-air and with unbeatable views of the city and Montjuïc's Magic Fountain. The informal furniture contrasts with the special character of the building at the same time as it fits in with the modern offer in snacks and mixed drinks.
