The Delekta Review

Eduard Ros was a labor lawyer in Madrid until he was thirty-three. He did a stage at La Tasquita de Enfrente, came back to Barcelona, and opened a counter-only room called Bisavis at Tavern 11 bis in 2018 — twelve seats, he cooked everything, he poured every wine. In late 2024 he moved the project to a larger room at Bruc 85 with burgundy walls, around nine counter seats and a five-top: same model, more space. The cellar runs to roughly seven hundred references; Ros pulls the corks. The cooking is producto-first Catalan with the technique brought back from Madrid — brandada de bacalao with no potato or dairy, butifarra del perol with raw scallop, cocotxes al pil pil, panna cotta with oscietra caviar — and the lunch tasting at around sixty euros with drinks reads as honestly fair value. Repsol Solete in autumn 2021; ARA's Trinitat Gilbert and Vadegust's Albert Amigó both went out for the new room and came back impressed.

What works

A chef-as-host counter format that's rare in Barcelona at this price point — closer to the Albé or Berbena tier than to a typical Eixample bistro. Producto-first cooking with restraint: brandada without potato or dairy, cocotxes al pil pil, panna cotta with caviar — no plating theatre, no avant-garde gestures. The 700-reference cellar and the by-the-glass generosity are the second draw, and Ros pulls the corks himself. €60 lunch tasting with drinks reads as honestly fair value. Repsol Solete in 2021 was earned at the old Tavern room; ARA and Vadegust both returned to confirm the new Bruc room is the same project, more space.

Before you go

Personality-dependent service — Ros is the show, he cooks, pours and narrates in one move; reviewers either love it or find the table-side talk tiring. There's no middle gear. Dinner runs noticeably higher than the lunch advertise — closer to a hundred euros per person with a couple of glasses, and portion sizes are described as small even by tasting-menu standards. Caviar is a recurring leitmotif across the menu; read it as a stylistic choice, not a flaw. Stale aggregator listings still point at the closed Tavern 11 bis address — verify the Bruc 85 location before going. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
