Fodor's Review:

A design giant some 50 years old, Vinçon steadily expanded its chic premises through a rambling Moderniste house that was once the home of Art Nouveau poet-artist Santiago Rusiñol and the studio of the painter Ramón Casas. It stocks everything from Filofaxes to handsome kitchenware. If you can tear your eyes away from all the design, seek out the spectacular Moderniste fireplace designed in wild Art Nouveau exuberance with a gigantic hearth in the form of a stylized face. The back terrace is a cool respite and a breath of fresh air with views up to the next-door rooftop warriors of Gaudí's Casa Milà.
