Brisa restaurant & bar
Sun, shade and conversation
This year there is a definite theme emerging with regard to new and existing restaurants, the terrace is suddenly de rigueur for an era that will surely come to be deifned at The Age of Covid. Brisa is a good example, this recently opened restaurant is accommodated within the Palau del Mar in La Barceloneta, a stalwart of a building that stands as a reminder that eventually we will overcome the pandemic. The defining characteristic of this new establishment is its terrace, and of course the food offering which is perfectly complimented by a cocktail bar, also situated on the terrace.
The name of the restaurant is well chosen (Brisa means breeze or wind in Spanish) because even on the warmest of autumn days there is a waft of a breeze coming off the Mediterranean directly in front. Brisa is a great place for spending time with friends and for people watching, with views over Port Vell with its comings and goings. The layout of the terrace recreates the ambience of a chiringuito surrounded with lush planting and comfortable seating. A retractable canopy and heaters means that Brisa will operate all year round, even when the temperatures drop. The inside of Brisa is also worth exploring with its contemporary interior that mixes traditional and modern elements.
