The benchmark for Middle Eastern starters. The hummus is whipped until light as air and topped with sizzling ground lamb or beef seasoned with baharat spice, finished with a generous amount of toasted pine nuts and fresh parsley.
Tips from diners
Make sure you order extra pita bread! One order is never enough for the amount of hummus they give you.
Merging local Catalan product with Middle Eastern spice. The world-famous Palamós red prawns are grilled with a house-made harissa butter that adds a complex heat without overwhelming the sweetness of the prawn.
Tips from diners
The harissa is spicy! If you're sensitive to heat, ask for the butter on the side or use it sparingly.
A selection of house-made baklava with different nuts and a jar of Malabi (rosewater milk pudding) topped with pistachios. It's a lighter way to end a heavy, spiced meal.
Tips from diners
The Malabi is the standout. It's very cold and refreshing after the spicy main courses.
Whole aubergines are charred over wood coals until tender and smoky. They are topped with a rich black garlic reduction, creamy white tahini, and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds for freshness.
Tips from diners
The black garlic adds a wonderful sweetness that contrasts with the smoky eggplant. It's a very substantial vegetable dish.
Small, tender cubes of lamb loin are marinated in za'atar and olive oil, then grilled quickly over high heat. They are served with a refreshing mint-infused labneh (strained yogurt) and a squeeze of lemon.
Tips from diners
The skewers are perfect for sharing. The mint in the labneh is very fresh-tasting.
Lora is the flagship restaurant of the SLS Barcelona hotel, brought to life by the same creative team behind London's Palomar and Barbary. Overlooking the Port Fòrum, this 330-seat space blends Levantine techniques with fresh Catalan seafood, offering a vibrant, music-filled dining experience that reflects the city's modern, global edge.
The restaurant is very large and can get quite loud in the evenings when the DJ starts. Great for groups, but maybe not for a quiet romantic dinner.
Ask for a table on the terrace if the weather is nice. You get great views of the port and the Mediterranean breeze.
