Background
About Bacaro
The Story
Bacaro takes its name and identity from the traditional Venetian taberna, a neighbourhood wine bar that serves simple, quality food. Tucked behind La Boqueria in el Raval, it has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for delivering that philosophy in Barcelona: market-fresh ingredients sourced steps away, a short menu that rotates with the seasons, and the warmth and casualness that the Michelin Guide describes as 'caring and kindness in evidence as soon as you walk through the door'. Barcelona rates it 5/5 and Repsol lists it as Recomendado.
The Cuisine
The kitchen is rooted in Italian tradition with a strong Venetian accent, and a 'continual emphasis on flavour' as Michelin puts it. Pasta features prominently, tagliatella with ragú de gallo pata negra, risotto al nero di seppia, gnocchi with pesto and ricotta salata. Classic Venetian dishes include sardines in saor (sweet-sour brine), bacalao mantecato (creamed cod), and fegato alla veneziana (veal liver Venetian-style). Repsol praises the pappardelle with Genoese ragú as a dish worth returning for. Tiramisù anchors the dessert menu. picks out the sardines in saor and cod mantecato. The wine list leans Italian, as expected.
The Team
Bacaro is led by chef Marco Lecis, who oversees the kitchen's Venetian-inspired seasonal menu. The restaurant's identity is as much about the room as the plate, informal, warm, and built around the daily market.
