Ziryab Fusion Tapas Bar
Ziryab Fusion Tapas Bar
Ziryab is a casual tapas bar in El Born pouring Catalan wines alongside small plates that lean into the flavors of the Levant and North Africa. It's Mediterranean fusion that bridges Catalonia with the eastern and southern shores of the same sea — think harissa, tagine, and dips next to a Catalan wine list. It works well for groups and for bringing the kids.
Background
About Ziryab Fusion Tapas Bar
The Story
Ziryab sits in El Born, part of the La Ribera quarter inside Barcelona's old town, Ciutat Vella. It's a casual spot built around Catalan wines and a tapas menu that pulls from the Levant and North Africa.
The Cuisine
The kitchen does Mediterranean fusion tapas, served small-plate style so you can order a few things and share across the table. The thread running through it is the food of the Levant and North Africa — think harissa and tagine — set against Catalan wines from closer to home.
The Team
The format is tapas to share rather than a sit-down set of courses, with the menu spanning both lunch and dinner. The focus is on plates that travel across the Mediterranean while keeping the wine list rooted in Catalonia.
