Umo Àlex Vall
Umo Àlex Vall
Umo Àlex Vall is a Japanese spot in Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova doing omakase alongside a robata grill, where the kitchen leads the meal and a lot of the food comes off the charcoal. There's wine and sake, plus dessert if you want to round things off, and it's a dinner-only counter. Good if you like putting yourself in the kitchen's hands rather than ordering off a long menu.
Background
About Umo Àlex Vall
The Story
Umo Àlex Vall sits up in Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova, in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona. It's a Japanese place built around omakase and a robata grill, so the format is the draw as much as anything you order.
The Cuisine
The cooking is Japanese, split between omakase and robata. Omakase means you hand the choices to the kitchen and eat what they send out in sequence; robata is grilling over charcoal, so a lot of what reaches you comes off an open flame. You can pair it with wine or sake, and there's dessert to finish.
The Team
The kitchen drives the meal here, which is the whole point of an omakase counter — the order and pacing are theirs, not yours. With a robata grill in the mix, a good part of the menu is cooked over charcoal.
