Alapar

Mediterranean-Japanese Fusion · Poble Sec, Barcelona · €€€

Awards: Michelin Selection

Open since 2022

Mediterranean omakase in Pakta's old Poble Sec space — chef Jaume Marambio works his Chilean-Japanese heritage over Catalan produce. Two tasting menus, Mizu and Alapar, built on koji, dashi and wok-fire.

The Delekta Review

Took over the Poble Sec space that Albert Adrià's Pakta used to occupy when it closed; Alapar opened in 2021 Chef Jaume Marambio brings Chilean-Japanese heritage to the kitchen — co-running with Vicky, with sister project Varmuteo (vermouth bar) elsewhere in the city

Two omakase menus, Mizu and Alapar, both built on Catalan seasonal produce treated with Japanese technique — koji-aged proteins, dashi, fermentation, miso/yuzu accents

Mushipan topped with tuna tartare and wasabi emulsion Wok-fried monkfish suquet — Catalan stew via Asian heat Montadito on buttery brioche, squid and Iberian pancetta Grilled chocolate mochi with sea salt and olive oil ice cream — a fusion riff on the Catalan pa-amb-xocolata dessert

Intimate izakaya register: minimalist room, exposed brick, soft lighting, well-spaced tables and a counter facing the open kitchen Limited seating — the format encourages a degree of communication between the kitchen and the room

Quoted in

“The montadito (a buttery brioche loaded with squid and Iberian pancetta) is so good you'll probably order it twice” — Isabelle Kliger · The Infatuation
