Prescott’s Little Barcelona Brings Authentic Spanish Cuisine to Ontario’s 401 Corridor
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESCOTT, Ontario February 11, 2026 – A stretch of Ontario’s Highway 401 is suddenly feeling a lot closer to the Ramblas of Barcelona. In Prescott, a unique destination has food lovers and weary travellers alike taking a deliberate detour. Little Barcelona, an authentic Spanish restaurant and gourmet food shop, is turning quick pitstops into lingering experiences and local dinners into memorable journeys with their promise: the Spanish cuisine experience without the plane ticket. Olé!
For the Barcelona-born chef and owner, it’s more than a concept-it’s personal. Every dish begins with ingredients sourced from his homeland, like Joselitos jamón ibérico de bellota, prized chorizo and salchichón, or bomba rice from the Delta del Ebro for their signature paellas. It’s not a fusion, and it’s not reinterpreted-this is Spain as it should taste.
That dedication has sparked a loyal following. As one guest recently shared: “What a gem!… It brought us back to our recent trip to San Sebastian. The service was warm and attentive… We purchased some treats from their store, too. We will definitely be back.”
Savour Spain Your Way: Gourmet Shop or Dine-In
Little Barcelona offers two ways to experience its flavours: dine in, or shop and bring the magic home.
In the restaurant, the focus is on the food-authentically Spanish, rooted in tradition and the chef’s heritage. Every plate tells a story, whether it’s a bubbling paella, a flight of classic tapas, or a glass of Rioja. It’s a place to slow down and savour, whether you’re new to Spanish cuisine or reconnecting with familiar flavours.
For those who prefer to create their own Spanish table, the gourmet shop offers a carefully selected range of premium products. From Ar de Arte’s elegant seafood preserves to award-winning Elixir extra virgin olive oil, Joselito’s world-renowned jamón, Spanish cheeses like aged manchego or truffle, gildas, and Pablo Garrigós Ibáñez turrones-each item is chosen for its quality and provenance.
Customers can als build their own tapas boards, order curated gift baskets, or explore ready-to-share boxes designed for gatherings at home.
Crafted for the Journey, Cherished by the Community
Little Barcelona serves a growing audience with ease and care. For travellers along the Montreal-Toronto corridor, it’s a welcome oasis worth the exit. For locals within a 45-minute drive-and an expanding national online customer base-it’s a trusted source for exceptional Spanish delicacies.
Direct delivery is available within the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal triangle, ensuring timely service for regional orders. And for customers across Canada, reliable nationwide shipping makes it easy to enjoy authentic Spanish favourites from wherever you are.
Your Spanish Table Awaits
