Bar Omar
Bar Omar is a small Sant Gervasi tapas bar opened in 2016 by chef Omar Díaz (who trained at Arzak and Joan Roca), operating under his own concept of 'la cocina más canalla' - rowdy, streetwise neighbourhood cooking.
Background
About Bar Omar
The Story
Bar Omar opened in 2016 on Carrer d'Amigó in Sant Gervasi-Santaló as chef Omar Díaz's first solo project. The concept is what the restaurant itself calls 'la cocina más canalla' - rowdy, streetwise neighbourhood cooking served in a casual, unpretentious dining room. Omar Díaz trained in some of Spain's most demanding kitchens (Arzak and Joan Roca among them) before returning to a neighbourhood-scale format built around the produce he knew best. In 2023 Díaz co-created Hijos de Javier two doors down at Amigó 32, and the two restaurants now operate as a chef-network pair on the same street.
The Cuisine
The kitchen runs a short, rotating menu of Mediterranean and Spanish small plates with a strong focus on the charcoal grill (brasa). Signature dishes verified from the restaurant's own English menu include: oreja a la brasa con salsa brava (grilled pig's ear with spicy sauce), mollete de carrillera (slow-braised beef cheek mollete), vieira a la brasa with sisho leaf and black sesame, calamar a la brasa 'a la carbonara', briox de papada melosa (braised jowl brioche) with house hoisin, onglet de ternera a la brasa (grilled hanger steak), magret de pato salvaje (wild duck breast with pears and pumpkin-seed praline), torrezno with siracha and lemon, and the signature torrija con caramelo salado y helado de turrón for dessert. The format is bar-and-small-table, built for sharing.
The Team
Chef-owner Omar Díaz runs the kitchen at Bar Omar. His training includes periods at Arzak (3 Michelin stars), Joan Roca (El Celler de Can Roca, 3 stars), and several other decorated Spanish kitchens. He also co-runs Hijos de Javier at Amigó 32 alongside chef Víctor García. The front of house at Bar Omar is small and attentive, and the restaurant has built a loyal neighbourhood following over its first decade.

Bar Omar Dining Experience
Bar Omar has the intimate, unpretentious feel of a small neighbourhood restaurant rather than a destination tapas bar. The dining room is compact - a small bar area and a handful of tables - and service is attentive and warm. The charcoal grill (brasa) is the centrepiece of the kitchen.
