Background
About Bar Remedios
The Story
Bar Remedios opened in late 2023, founded by Alejo Ventosa and Llorenç Balaguer (who also owns the popular Bar Lorenzo in Sarria). The concept pays homage to classic neighbourhood bars with character, structuring the menu as 'small remedies', 'large remedies', and 'remedies to share'. Branding by Lo Siento Studio and interior design by Ramon de los Heros give the space an industrial, unpretentious feel that consciously rejects, in the owners' words, 'Nordic and precious aesthetics' in favour of 'the beauty of formica and stainless steel'. Within months of its quiet opening, word-of-mouth filled the house, and a Repsol Solete followed in 2024.
The Cuisine
Chef Joan Donadeu leads a kitchen focused on elevated traditional Spanish bar food -- product-driven, rooted in tradition, with refined technique. The menu features tapas classics like bravas, croquetas, ensaladilla rusa, and tortilla de patatas (made to order), alongside larger plates such as truffled bikini, canelon de rostit, oxtail, solomillo rossini with foie, and hand-cut beef tartare. Daily specials are handwritten on the wall. A curated wine-by-the-glass programme features natural wines, sherries, cava, and vermouth.
The Team
Chef Joan Donadeu runs the kitchen, while owners Alejo Ventosa and Llorenç Balaguer set the vision and manage the house. The team maintains non-stop kitchen service from lunch through late night.
