PRIVATE & CORPORATE DINING
2016
AN INTRODUCTION
Our philosophy of contemporary
Spanish cuisine has its roots in the
traditional
Spanish
Cocina
–
meaning, tapas to larger plates that
include the recipes and ingredients
from the Iberian Peninsula. Barsa's
menu is designed to also pay
tribute the movement of the Nueva
Cocina Española in what we call
contemporary Spanish gastronomy.
We are housed in a 19th-century
heritage protected building where
internationally acclaimed designer
John Tong has worked to create an
atmosphere of Barcelona while
paying tribute to the City’s culture
and immortalized artists.
