Bruma is the unhurried younger sibling of Soma within Grup Soma, serving French and Mediterranean cooking on a quiet stretch of Carrer d'Aribau. Its short menu draws from a family story of Grandma Lulu.

Background

About Bruma

The Story

Bruma is the younger sibling restaurant within Grup Soma, which also operates Soma on Carrer d'Enric Granados. The concept is rooted in a family story the restaurant tells on its menu: that of Grandma Lulu, born in early 20th-century Alexandria, raised in French culture and settled for much of her life in Barcelona. Bruma channels that blend of worlds through an unhurried approach to service and a menu that draws on both French and Mediterranean traditions.

The Cuisine

Bruma's kitchen draws from French and Mediterranean traditions. The menu features small bites such as Cantabrian anchovies, Iberian ham and a smoked sardine on brioche; signature starters include socarrat paella biscuits with prawns, shrimp with garlic cream and pan-seared foie-gras with red-wine plums. Mains run from cod with citrus sauce and stewed veal cheek with potato purée to entrecôte with Café de Paris sauce and 'Soma's rigatoni' stuffed with ragù. Desserts lean classic, an egg flan, crêpe Suzette, lemon sorbet and a chocolate marquise with hazelnut ice cream. A 10% surcharge applies for terrace dining.

The Team

Bruma operates under Grup Soma, the restaurant group behind Soma. No individual chef is publicly credited on the restaurant's own website or menu.
