Restaurant “Roca Bar” – Closed

CLOSED

The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the "Hotel Omm". All of us Barcelonans know this 5-star hotel that is very close to Paseo de Gracia; What I am not so sure is whether we are aware of the double gastronomic offer that exists within.

The Roca brothers are behind the two proposals. The first, "Roca Moo" is a Michelin star restaurant run by chef Juan Pretel and I dare to summarize it as haute cuisine in an elegant atmosphere. The second, the "Roca Bar" is the one I want to talk about today. Both spaces are separated by a subtle bookcase.

The space is very modern. At the entrance there is a sofa area perfect for having a drink at any time. A little further on there is a fireplace that caught my attention. Rectangular and placed inside a white piece of furniture. From Wednesday to Saturday there is live music. I was lucky enough to coincide with the flamenco night! From here there is a bar and the restaurant.

Diaphanous and quite large. Within the elegant line, he has an informal touch that I really liked. Clementina dominates the room. She is attentive to everything and she manages to provide almost perfect service to each and every one of the clients. She is the soul of everything. She loves gastronomy and people. She enjoys it and transmits this passion to those of us who visit her from time to time.

Type: Tapas and signature dishes. They offer innovative traditional proposals. The Roca seal is on many dishes.

• Steamed brioche stuffed with truffle - Delicious. One of the star dishes that captivated me at the first bite. No one can leave the restaurant without trying it. Is special. Soft and tasty.
• Patatas bravas waffle - Original presentation of the classic patatas bravas. The waffle dough is potato and the two sauces are interspersed making a striking pattern.
• Roastbeef with ximixurri and capers - Amazing. Another of the star dishes. The roast beef falls apart and the sauce is super tasty.
• Kenya bean salad with raifort and smoked sardines - Refreshing dish really good. One of the "rocasaludable" dishes.
• Salmon at low temperature with citrus emulsion - We cannot deny that the mixture of salmon with citrus is fashionable. Here they present it in three different formats and I wouldn't know which one to choose! Another of the "rocasaludable" dishes.
• Coconut Ice Cream Rocadillo - Must try. It is one of the classics of the house.
• Rocambolesc Ice Cream: 5 Green Elements with Green Tea Pistachios and Mint Sugar – Rocambolesc ice creams no need introduction.

They open from 1:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. non-stop every day. At lunch they have a €22 menu.

More informal option to enjoy the Roca brothers' cuisine.

Very close there is the Casa de les Punxes which is a well-deserved visit!
