Background

About Nuba

The Story

Nu BCN sits on Carrer Doctor Fleming in Sant Gervasi - Galvany and belongs to the Grupo Costa Este hospitality group. The venue runs a full-day programme: lunch and dinner service in the restaurant, a sushi counter, a cocktail bar, and live music nights that push closing time well past midnight on weekends.

The Cuisine

The kitchen splits its menu between Japanese sushi work and Mediterranean classics. On the Japanese side the card lists nigiri, sashimi, makis and signature uramakis such as mango magic, nuba sake avocado and maki beluga with tuna and beluga caviar. The Mediterranean side runs from pan de cristal con tomate, jamón ibérico de bellota and stracciatella de burrata to arroz con secreto ibérico, lubina a la meunière, solomillo with foie and a 1 kg tomahawk a la brasa. Risottos, linguini with Galician lobster and an Iranian beluga caviar service round out the offer.

The Team

Executive chef José Vega leads the kitchen. The dining room operates alongside a cocktail bar and a DJ / live music programme, with soul nights on Fridays advertised by the restaurant.
