Background
About Suru Bar
The Story
Suru is a small restaurant on Casanova in l'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, run by three partners, Carles "Charly", Gemma and Sergi, who describe the place as their home and invite guests to let themselves be cared for. The project centres on small producers who respect their environment, with a dynamic, changing menu and the grill as a central axis.
The Cuisine
Suru serves what the owners describe as honest, tasty cuisine built around seasonal vegetables, local produce and yakitori, with the brasa (grill) at the centre. The à la carte menu changes constantly and is paired with an extensive personal wine list focused on small producers and low-intervention wines. Yakitori skewers, chicken skin with shrimp tartare, wing, heart with shichimi, are meant to be eaten straight off the stick, never shared, to keep the juices.
The Team
Carles "Charly" runs the kitchen, cooking without recipes and relying on intuition and palate. Gemma, described by the team as Suru's "dynamite", handles hospitality and pastry, along with management and design. Sergi looks after the wine programme, building a list that revolves around small producers and natural, low-intervention bottles.
