Barcelona is a city that never ceases to amaze, especially when it comes to enjoying a good meal accompanied by breathtaking views. In this sense, Azul Rooftop Barceloneta restaurant has established itself as one of those places where the experience goes far beyond the dish. This rooftop, located in the heart of the Joan de Borbó promenade, not only offers high-level gastronomy, but also a breathtaking 360º panoramic view of the city.
Azul restaurant is a concept of sights and taste
At Azul Rooftop, the view is the protagonist. No matter where you are, you will always have a unique postcard of Barcelona. From the terrace, open all year round, you can enjoy the city from different angles. The port, Barceloneta beach, Montjuïc and even the city’s most emblematic buildings are all in view. And while it sounds tempting to stay outdoors, the restaurant’s interior also has a lot to offer. Azul has four interior rooms that do not lose the charm of the views, each with its own style. From the Cocktail Bar, overlooking the sea, ideal for watching the sunset, to two dining rooms, one with an open kitchen and the other with the best views of the beach. Each space is designed to offer you a different experience, but connected to each other by a relaxed and elegant atmosphere.
Signature gastronomy with the touch of Romain Fornell
Signature gastronomy with the touch of Romain FornellWhile many rooftops tend to focus on atmosphere and views alone, Azul Rooftop restaurant ‘s cuisine is just as impressive. Michelin-starred chef Romain Fornell has created a menu that does justice to the Mediterranean tradition, but with French touches that elevate each dish. And the best part: the menu is designed for sharing, which makes it an ideal place to enjoy in a group. From fresh products such as acorn-fed Iberian ham or Mediterranean red tuna, to a selection of meats such as matured beef txuletón or rice dishes, each dish is carefully prepared. But what really makes the difference are the accompaniments, such as the glass peppers that accompany the fish or the homemade chips that accompany the meats. Undoubtedly, Fornell has managed to transfer the excellence of his other projects to this high-level space.
Cocktails and wines for any time of the day
Azul Rooftop is not only a place to enjoy an exquisite meal, it is also the perfect spot to relax with a good cocktail. Its cocktail bar is open during all opening hours, with no interruptions. This means that, whether you decide to spend the afternoon watching the sunset, as if you prefer a more nocturnal time, you can always enjoy a drinks menu to match the environment. The cocktail offer is varied and designed to satisfy all tastes, from the classics to unique creations of the local. In addition, for wine lovers, Azul also offers a wide selection of wines, which perfectly complements the dining experience.
Azul restaurant is a place for exclusive events
In addition to being the ideal place to enjoy a meal or a relaxed evening, Azul Rooftop Barceloneta restaurant is also an excellent choice for private events. Weddings, birthdays or company dinners can be celebrated in this privileged space, with the possibility of privatizing the rooftop by zones or even in its entirety. Imagine celebrating a special occasion surrounded by the most breathtaking views of Barcelona, with first class cuisine and an elegant but relaxed atmosphere. Few places in the city can offer such an exclusive experience as Azul.
From history to the present day: a new era
Azul Rooftop has a curious history behind it. Reopened in the spring of 2023 under the direction of Romain Fornell, this space was not always what it is today. At the time, it was known as Blue Spot, a restaurant that boomed under the management of Grupo Tragaluz and the partnership between Gerard Piqué and Shakira. However, the pandemic forced it to close its doors, leaving a void in the gastronomic offer of Barceloneta.
The 4 best rooftops in Barcelona, to enjoy a cocktail and the best views
Today, under the name of Azul Rooftop, the space has been reborn, and has done so with a proposal that combines culinary excellence and the spectacular views that have always characterized it. The Mediterranean cuisine, with French touches that Fornell manages, is articulated around grilled meats and fish. Among the most outstanding proposals, we can find turbot, black monkfish or the Iberian secret, always accompanied by fresh and quality products.
Details that make a difference
Although the menu is full of tempting options, there are certain dishes that deserve a special mention. For example, the fried scorpora with chipotle mayonnaise is a sure hit for those looking for a less classic option. In addition, the beet salad with burrata and pistachio is an explosion of fresh flavors that surprises with every bite. The rooftop, as a space, is no slouch when it comes to details. It is partially covered, which guarantees comfort even on the coldest days, thanks to its stoves distributed throughout the space. And for those looking for a more intimate atmosphere, two private outdoor lounges with views of Montjuïc and the port are the perfect option.
