Directly influenced by the nearby Santa Caterina Market, this dish features nearly transparent slices of seasonal vegetables (like zucchini, heirloom tomatoes, or mushrooms). It is finished with shavings of semi-cured Catalan cheese and a drizzle of premium olive oil.
Tips from diners
The vegetables are so fresh they almost taste like fruit. A very light and refreshing way to start.
Free-range chicken is slow-roasted for 24 hours to achieve extremely moist meat and crispy skin. It is served with a dark, concentrated jus made from the bones and fortified with local herbs and a hint of Sherry.
Tips from diners
It's simple but the sauce is incredible. It has that deep, comforting flavor of a grandmother's kitchen but with Michelin-level execution.
Instead of a heavy pastry, this uses thin, caramelized apple layers over a paper-thin buttery crust. It's topped with a cloud-light vanilla 'espuma' (foam) that provides the creaminess without the weight.
Tips from diners
The foam is the secret. It makes the whole dessert feel very airy and sophisticated.
A selection of 4-5 cheeses sourced from small-batch producers across Catalonia. Typically includes a creamy goat cheese from the Garrotxa and a sharper, aged sheep cheese from the Pyrenees, served with local quince paste (codonyat).
Tips from diners
Ask for the story behind each cheese — the staff is very well-trained on their local suppliers.
Whole wild sea bream is filleted and grilled on the plancha. It's served with a side of sautéed greens (like spinach or chard) from local Sant Boi farms and a light lemon-caper emulsion.
Tips from diners
The fish is timed perfectly — still juicy on the inside. Great for a healthy but substantial lunch.
Veraz is a vibrant restaurant that bridges the gap between the luxury of the Barcelona Edition and the bustling energy of the Santa Caterina Market next door. Led by the creative influence of Martina Puigvert (Michelin Young Chef 2024), the kitchen focuses on honest, seasonal Catalan ingredients presented with modern flair and a focus on social dining.
If you have some time, walk through the Santa Caterina Market before or after your meal. It's where much of the restaurant's produce comes from and is much less touristy than La Boqueria.
The large central bar is a great spot to sit if you're dining alone or just want a drink and some small plates. The energy is fantastic.
