The Delekta Review

Opened April 2018 by Daniel Roca, César Guillén and Marco Arriaga — Roca also runs the Masala73 restaurant and catering operation Madrid sister opened in 2022 — Calle Lagasca 19 in the Salamanca neighbourhood, same kitchen philosophy

Market-driven cooking with a shellfish-and-fish lean — daily rotation set by what the morning sourcing produced Shareable register — plates designed for the table, not the cover; the room reads neighbourhood-bistro rather than tasting-menu showroom

A few steps down from street level on Laforja — bar facing the open kitchen, exposed brick walls, and a calm, minimal room behind.

Capipota and cod surf-and-turf — confit cod cheeks set in a deeply reduced sofrito with the gelatin of the offal Pork, veal, and shellfish plates rotate seasonally; daily fish suggestions and short list of starters carry the cover

Closed Sundays and Mondays — book the dining room, not the bar, for the full menu

“Everything is invented, and as I say to my son, we have to do things well so as not to have to do them over again.” — Daniel Roca · Time Out Barcelona
