PROJECTS
This summer , as The Barcelona EDITION re-opens , the hotel will shake up the city ’ s culinary scene with the introduction of its new Executive Chef , Pedro Tassarolo , who is reinvigorating the way locals and visitors dine in the city . Tasked with redefining the property ’ s popular signature outlets , Bar Veraz and The Roof , Tassarolo has used his wealth of experience , having trained at Mugaritz in the Basque Country and world-renowned El Bulli , to bring a unique style of dining to the city inspired by the local culture and his own personal experiences around the world , focusing on the flavours of Asia in particular .
BAR VERAZ
Taking inspiration from Barcelona ’ s hustle and bustle and focusing on provenance , sourcing his ingredients from the local suppliers at Santa Caterina market , Tassarolo has transformed Bar Veraz into an unpretentious eatery where locals and guests alike can dine on honest and innovative sharing plates in Spanish style . Inspired by the overflowing tables of traditional Tapas bars , Bar Veraz ’ s dynamic and accessible menu encourages socialising and boasts a mixture of expertly executed large and small plates that pay tribute to Spanish and Mediterranean culinary traditions .
