A dinner at Telefèric Barcelona - a Spanish restaurant.

This will be my last hosting event here. I’m stepping down as this group’s host. If anyone is interested in renewing the $218 annual subscription and take over the leadership, please send me a private message. Thanks.

Newport Beach just got a little closer to the Mediterranean. Telefèric Barcelona, the family-owned Spanish restaurant group founded by siblings Xavi and Maria Padrosa, opened Aug. 20 at Fashion Island, bringing tapas, paellas and festive Spanish dining to Orange County.

Their story began with an original family restaurant in Sant Cugat, Spain, which opened in 1992. More than three decades later, that same recipe for Spanish hospitality has carried the brand to nine locations across California and Arizona, starting with its 2016 US debut in Walnut Creek. The timing makes the Newport Beach opening extra meaningful: 2026 marks a decade of the Padrosa family’s growth in the United States.

As always, 48 hours prior cancellation is required which also includes those on the waiting list as well. We’ll highly appreciate your kind consideration to those who really want to go but are waitlisted. Two times late cancellations or no show is regarded as lack of concern for others and will be removed from this group. Thank you so very much for your understanding and support.

Please bring cash for bill settlement. Thank you for your interest in the event and I look forward to seeing you there!
