Background
About Llamber
The Story
Llamber is a creative gastronomy restaurant in the Born neighbourhood that merges the best of Asturian and Catalan culinary traditions. The concept is distinctive: a taberna-style setting with exposed brick walls, abundant wood, and a welcoming terrace facing El Born, housing cooking that reaches well above typical tapas-bar expectations. The restaurant has built its reputation on an honest commitment to proximity products and small-producer ingredients, resulting in a menu that feels both rooted and inventive. The Asturian-Catalan fusion is more than a marketing angle, it reflects the genuine culinary heritage of the team behind the kitchen.
The Cuisine
The kitchen at Llamber delivers creative Asturian-Catalan fusion built around small-producer ingredients and seasonal proximity products, with sharing-format plates that are both original and inventive. The menu moves between traditional preparations from both regions, fabada asturiana, Joselito ham, Asturian cheeses, and contemporary interpretations that push the boundaries of the taberna format. Highlights include the famous 'patatinas' with Cabrales and hazelnut praline, home-marinated salmon with citrus and ginger, and grilled mature beef entrecote. Cocktails complement the food offering, rounding out a dining experience that consistently exceeds expectations for its casual setting.
The Team
Chef Francisco Heras leads the kitchen at Llamber, bringing fine-dining experience from El Bulli, La Broche, and Arola at Hotel Arts to the gastrotaberna format. Eva Arbones serves as maitre d', ensuring a warm and polished front-of-house experience. The team sources from small producers across both Asturias and Catalonia, crafting dishes that balance tradition with creative ambition.
