A gastronomic tavern with a very personal concept of tapas was born three years ago in Avilés (Asturias). The success of its creators, chef Fran Heras –he has worked with Ferran Adrià, Ramon Freixa, Sergi Arola, Angel Palacios or Jean-Luc Figueras- and his partner Eva Arbonés –maîre responsible for the place’s great in interior design- has led to the opening, in the end of 2012, of a new Llamber- this is how their two restaurants are called- in the heart of Barcelona’s Born. The restaurant is committed to seasonality, sustainability and proximity in order to offer honest cuisine with utmost respect for the product (most of which is from Asturias). The menu presents miniature haute cuisine with original and creative dishes that boast stunning presentations and moderate prices. The space, located in an old fruit warehouse, is a modern version of the typical Spanish tavern and welcomes us in a modern, casual and warm atmosphere, ideal to share a good time with the best company. The wine cellar has more than 30 different labels by the glass and about 150 labels.
Ever since Llamber opened in Barcelona, after its success in Avilés, there has been a procession of journalists and articles that, generally speaking, gave their approval of this gourmet tavern.... The menu’s dishes and “tapas” (snacks) are made to match a diner’s expectations of perfection: quality products in a warm environment, at an acceptable price. Logically the menu had no shortage of cheeses of all kinds, potatoes with “cabrales” sauce, angler fish, chorizo cooked in cider, scorpion fish pie with tartar sauce, a buttery “fabada” with its meaty accompaniment that you’ll eat until you resemble a boa constrictor, escallops with “cabrales” sauce, rice with milk and spicy cheeses from Asturias, all of them evoking butter, caverns, prairies, and rain...
Lets face it, when most tourists come to Spain, they're looking to have at least one fantastic tapas experience. Not only does this restaurant offer just that, but it's also located in the ever-trendy Born district of Barcelona. It's a very creative style of tapas that actually makes more traditional styles of tapas look quite boring. Add this one to your list!
Time Out
This one is a gastrobar, or it may be more correct to call it a tapas restaurant with a distinctly Asturian flavour. The menu is very personal and creative, and there's no fussy messing-about with molecules. Try the anchovies with sweet bread and Asturian cheese, or an amazing octopus au gratin with smoked cheese. There's also a vast selection of wines by the glass to fit all budgets.
