Bar Bauma wins the Card Game: the bravas that have marked the history of Barcelona

Awards are given in recognition of effort and loyalty to a particular approach to cuisine. These are awards that are earned when things have been done well for a long time. Bar Bauma's recognition in Jeu de cartes is one such award. We are grateful for this reward, which is the result of a very specific approach to cuisine and bar service that has been developed over a lifetime.

May our bar win Card game with a dish as simple and demanding as certain Patatas Bravas That says a lot about the moment Barcelona is experiencing... and also about who we are.

An old bar, built from the inside out

Bar Bauma wasn't created to follow trends. That's how bars that matter are born: with a bar, shared tables, neighbors, conversations, and cuisine that doesn't need to be dressed up to work.

From day one, Bauma has always been that Catalan bar where the product reigns supreme, where recipes are memorized, and where service is friendly because it's part of the experience. For us, Bauma is a way of understanding the restaurant business. It focuses on the essentials and avoids unnecessary noise.

Victory Card game Business as usual

Participating in Jeu de cartes means exposing yourself. It means that they scrutinize you, evaluating your cuisine, your consistency, and your approach. And when recognition comes for a dish that does not intend to reinvent anything, the pride is twofold.

The Bravas at Bar Bauma don't try to surprise you with fireworks. They are courageous as they should be: well-prepared potatoes, precisely fried, with a sauce that has character and balance. A popular dish stripped down to its essentials. No more, no less.

The program singled out our bravas as a Star Dish, and I considered them among the best bravas in Barcelona, confirming what we have always believed: honest, well-executed cuisine that remains faithful to its origins continues to be highly valued.

Les bravas as a symbol of a way of doing things

In Barcelona, everyone talks about bravas. Every neighborhood defends its own, every bar has its own version. But we rarely recognize how difficult it is to nail down something that seems so simple. At Bauma, bravas reflect our philosophy and respect for tradition, refined technique, and the absence of artifice.

These are not dishes to be eaten in passing. They are dishes to be shared, to spark conversation, and to define character. That is why this recognition is not simply a recipe, but a way of understanding bar cuisine.

Much more than just a winning dish

Well, Jeu de cartes Whatever the emphasis on bravas, Bar Bauma is much more than this dish. It's coffee at the bar, vermouth in the middle of the morning, Brioches of the month that change with the seasons and reflect the flavors of the house, unhurried meals, and impromptu dinners.

Everything coexists in a menu designed with common sense, without losing the essence of the classic bar, but with the freedom to reinterpret tradition when it is served. This is Bauma today, a lively place with its own identity, constantly evolving to remain recognizable.

An award that we consider our own

May Bauma wins Card game It's a source of pride for the whole team and for Nous sommes Essence. Because behind the bar, there are many hours, many decisions, and a clear idea of the right way to do things on a daily basis, even if you don't always see it.

This recognition has the taste of perseverance, good neighborliness, and well-made cuisine. And above all, it has the taste of the future. Continuing to work with the same calm, the same respect, and the same desire.

Why Bauma is still Bauma

Because after decades of history, it's still the bar you want to visit.

Because when you walk in, you'll find the usual bar.

Because the bravas are always the same.
And because we still believe that a bar doesn't need to shout to be memorable.

If you come to Bar Bauma, you will discover what has always been there. Authentic cuisine, familiar dishes, and an atmosphere that invites you to linger. And now, in addition, some bravas that have proven that well-executed simplicity can be very useful.

Sometimes, the greatest recognition comes when you stay true to who you are. And for Bauma, that has always been the most important thing.
