Barcelona keeps its baking traditions in two registers: the centuries-old forn that turns out daily bread and the modern pastisseria built around chocolate and viennoiserie. Pastisseria Hofmann in the Born and Escriba in the Eixample carry the city's classic pastry name, while Forn Baluard in Barceloneta and Forn Mistral lean on the bread side. Out in the upper neighbourhoods, Oriol Balaguer Pastisseria in Sarria shows where contemporary Catalan patisserie has gone.
