Rascal
Brunch without clichés, wine without rules – and a space that pulses with Poblenou energy.
The Challenge
Peter wasn’t looking to open just another brunch spot.
He wanted something with soul, identity, and depth. And we were there from day one to help make it real.
From negotiating the lease to the moment the first coffee was poured, we were part of Rascal from the ground up.

Our Recipe
The foundation of Rascal was built with structure, style, and intention woven into every step. We supported the lease negotiation with a clear and compelling business plan, laying the groundwork for everything to come. From there, we worked to define the brand and concept, stripping it down to what mattered most: minimalism with meaning, global inspiration, and essence over aesthetics. The gastronomic concept followed suit, rooted in contemporary, seasonal cooking, led by bold flavors, house-made ferments, pickles, and a mix of global influences. Every dish went through a rigorous development process, from silky shakshuka to a fiery Catalan romesco, tested and refined until the balance was just right. The physical space came together with a clean, functional layout that channeled the creative energy of its neighborhood. We curated suppliers who matched that same level of care, including a partnership with Familia Osorio to bring in real specialty coffee no compromises. Pricing and menu design were crafted to not only guide the customer but to elevate their experience. The brand’s digital presence was shaped with a thoughtful social and paid media strategy, showing up authentically, without gimmicks. And behind the scenes, we implemented the systems and service structures needed for daily operations to run smoothly. Every detail played a part in building a place that feels effortless but functions with precision.
The Result
Rascal isn’t your typical brunch joint – and it never will be.
It’s bold, thoughtful cooking with global touches and seasonal produce leading the way.
It’s where fermented sauces meet natural wine.
Where the eggs are just right, and the romesco has attitude.
Where the coffee is top-tier, and the soundtrack has soul.
We loved being part of this story – watching an idea become a beautiful, functioning restaurant.
We wish Peter all the best in this new adventure.
And if you’re in Poblenou and looking for a place to eat?
Rascal’s one of the good ones. Don’t miss it.
