El Born neighbourhood , renowned as the city ’ s creative hub in the famed Ciutat Vella district .

Speaking about his appointment Tassarolo said : “ I ’ m very excited to bring my passion for honest cooking and seasonal to Bar Veraz and The Roof . The new menus pay homage to traditional Catalan cuisine from a unique perspective based on my own personal and professional experiences in the Mediterranean and further afield . My menus have been carefully developed to encourage sociable and memorable culinary experiences that celebrate Catalonian culture . The dishes I ’ ve created encompass El Born ’ s unique creative energy and I wanted to showcase this through a curated variety of small dishes and sharing plates using some of the incredible ingredients that I have personally sourced from some of the world ’ s most talented producers and suppliers who trade at Santa Caterina Market .”
