Volta Restaurant & Bar
Local Born cuisine
Volta Restaurant & Bar boasts one of the most beautiful terraces in Barcelona, accommodated underneath the stone colonnade of the Paseo Picasso. Volta belongs to the recently opened Borneta hotel located directly in front of the Ciutadella park with views over its gorgeous and beautifully restored Hibernaclum and Palm House. The restaurant and bar occupy the hotel lobby area which is illuminated during the day by an enormous skylight over the bar area. This lively space is filled with potted plants and greenery, a place of encounter between locals and visitors. The food offering is based on Km 0 produce and sustainable cuisine packed with local flavour that reflects Barcelona’s rich Mediterranean culture. Most of the suppliers are small producers who follow traditional ecological methods, selected by the Volta team.
Executive Chef Andrea de Benedictis has created an eclectic menu divided into four sections as well as desserts, that include a varied choice of starters including fine de claire No. 2 fried Oysters, followed by a selection of raw dishes such as the Veal tartare, bone marrow, tuna sauce, capers and polenta puffs, etc. The Km 0 section is seasonal, and features artichokes cultivated in nearby Prat region right now during winter. The main courses are drawn from land and sea featuring Turbot in pil pil served with trompetas de los muertos (black chanterelle mushrooms), as well as Ribeye steak, truffle mash and padron peppers. The dessert options include homemade pastry options as well as local favourites like Tiramisu and Profiteroles.
