Alapar · Restaurant · Barcelona
An omakase restaurant near Montjuic applying Japanese technique to seasonal Mediterranean produce.
Alapar is a Japanese-Mediterranean restaurant at Carrer de Lleida 5 in the Sants-Montjuic district, listed in the MICHELIN Guide Spain 2026. It is the project of Jaume, who leads the kitchen, and Vicky, who runs the dining room, a couple who had shared life and work for more than fourteen years before opening it. The guide notes that it occupies the former premises of Pakta.
The counter is the place the restaurant itself singles out. Guests seated there face the chef and follow the knife work, the techniques and the pace of the service at close range, and the house describes the meal as one to take slowly, with conversation with the chef as part of it.
Alapar works in the omakase style, with the day's menu decided by the kitchen from the market and served to the whole table. There are two routes: Omakase Alapar, between 16 and 18 courses that the restaurant describes as running from mackerel to grilled mochi, and Omakase Mizu, a shorter version of 13 to 15 courses. Ingredients that may appear include white prawn, toro, scallop, eel, turbot, red porgy, amberjack, Iberian pork jowl and picanha, with caviar and fresh wasabi offered as supplements. The kitchen treats Japan as an inspiration and applies its techniques to seasonal Mediterranean produce.
Dinner is served on Monday and from Thursday to Sunday, with tables between 7:45 pm and 9:45 pm, and lunch from Friday to Sunday between 1:00 pm and 2:30 pm. Alapar is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.
