Barrio Gourmet

Not built by an investor.Built by a chef.
Twenty years cooking across several countries. Every technique, every flavour, every plate: it all ended up here, on Calle Forano 15.
The owner is also the chef. Every plate passes through his hands before it reaches your table. Every night.

“Eines der besten Essen, das ich in den letzten 30 Jahren hier in der Gegend gegessen habe! Das Fleisch war unglaublich zart und ließ sich praktisch ohne Messer zerteilen. Dazu ein sensationelles Kartoffelpüree und wunderbar abgestimmtes Gemüse – jeder Bissen ein Genuss. Auch das sehr freundliche Personal und das schöne Ambiente haben den Besuch bei Barrio Gourmet perfekt gemacht. Eine absolute Empfehlung – wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!”
“Very efficient and friendly. Absolutely fantastic steak.”
“Vi var 7 personer, der havde fornøjelsen af at tilbringe en helt fantastisk aften og nat på Barrio Gourmet Restaurant & Lounge – og sikke en oplevelse! 😍 Maden var virkelig lækker, velsmagende og af høj kvalitet. Omgivelserne var utrolig hyggelige med en skøn atmosfære, hvor man virkelig kunne slappe af og nyde hinandens selskab. Vi hyggede os hele natten med masser af grin, god stemning og dejlig mad. Det var en af de aftener, hvor man slet ikke havde lyst til at tage hjem! 🥂✨ Et fantastisk sted, som vi varmt kan anbefale til alle, der elsker god mad, hyggelige omgivelser og en uforglemmelig aften. Vi kommer helt sikkert igen! ❤️👏”
“A wonderful experience. The service is impeccable, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. For every recommendation, we enjoyed it!”
“I want to plan my second trip to Alicante just to come back for this restaurant’s food and service! Ramin the owner/ head chef was very helpful from helping us get to the place to the food and service. Delicious, quick and friendly service! Don’t think twice just go here.”
“Fantastisk sted med fantastisk mat. En skjult perle gjemt inni et nabolag. Det gikk fort å få maten på bordet, og kvaliteten var utsøkt. Kommer nok garantert til å komme hit igjen ved neste anledning. Anbefales!”
“Mycket trevligt och fantastisk mat!”
“Best beef I’ve ever had! We ordered the slow-cooked beef cheek with truffle mash and red wine sauce, and honestly, it was absolutely incredible. The meat was unbelievably tender and full of flavour, and the combination with the truffle mash and rich red wine sauce was perfect. I can genuinely say this is some of the best, if not the best beef I’ve ever eaten. One of those meals you keep talking about afterwards. If you visit, order the beef cheek. You won’t regret it!”
“Estuvimos en una experiencia maridaje con vinos de la zona de Alicante y platos que prepararon para la ocasión. El servicio no estuvo mal y lo mejor fue el ambiente, tranquilos o segado y agradable. La relación calidad precio estuvo muy bien. Nos gustó bastante el sitio.”

Mediterranean, seasonal and marked on the menu. The order follows the season, not the supplier.
