Mesura handle the first restoration of the historic Cheriff restaurant in Barceloneta in 60 years

In Barceloneta, the old residents are the true records of the area’s history, including its local landmarks. One of the legendary examples that they might point out - a place largely unknown to tourists - is the Cheriff restaurant, which has been serving up fresh fish and seafood from the nearby docks every day since 1959. This local institution commissioned the Mesura architecture firm, also from Barcelona, to oversee the restaurant’s restoration, ensuring that it stayed in line with what has been Cheriff’s unmistakable style for the past sixty years whilst also updating it for the 21st century.
