All this served in an exquisite Versace tableware and accompanied by an extensive and select wine cellar.

Roca Bar

This restaurant, located in the Hotel Omm on Rosselló street, has the gastronomic advice of the Roca brothers. However, it is not a haute cuisine establishment, as it has a more informal style and offers a menu full of dishes to share, tapas and daily specials. Of course, betting on variety, presentation and quality.

One of the essentials of the Roca Bar are the “rocadillos”, a kind of sealed sandwiches made with a special bread and that can contain various ingredients.

Nor can you avoid trying the Iberian croquettes or the tuber salad. Better if it is accompanied by one of the wines from its wide selection and live music at night.

Like the Abac, its menu has a high price, since it is around 110 euros on average, not including wine. Even so, it is worth going to Lasarte to taste elaborations of such a high level as the royal red curry and red curry; or the salad of vegetables and petals, herbs and sprouts with cream of lettuce and lobster.
