Bar Raval

In addition to typical tapas bar standards like “Patatas Bravas” with aioli, Pimientos de Padrón, Albóndigas, or Spanish tortilla, Bar Raval in Berlin-Kreuzberg offers a seasonally changing menu, partly based on the Spanish holiday calendar. Seasonally, for example, roast beef in an herb crust with roasted red bell peppers and a yogurt jelly, breaded cheese with tomato jam and honey, or pointed peppers filled with mushrooms and oats on a carrot-miso cream are served. The Tataki of Presa from Ibérico pork is a highlight of the menu. There are also vegetarian alternatives such as tartare of tomatoes, avocado, and mushrooms. Variations of Spanish gazpacho, such as with melon, are also served. Bar Raval also offers a good and diverse wine selection.

Bar Raval is a relaxed meeting place for dinner with friends – entirely in the Spanish style. In the open kitchen, visitors can watch the chefs fry, grill, and arrange dishes. The bar is furnished with green upholstered benches and sturdy wooden tables. The decor is subtly modern. Pictures by German and Spanish artists hang on the unplastered walls. There is a television for football broadcasts. The floor tiles are reminiscent of tapas bars in Barcelona and are originally from the Catalan capital, Daniel Brühl’s second home.

Tip: Every first Monday of the month, there’s a giant paella!
