Rita Rouge’s spacious dining interior is complemented by an upstairs room and an outdoors area to accommodate a romantic dinner or a night out with friends, as well as offering an inviting bar area with great, comfy couches. The exotic decoration is dominated by rich reds and accented by elements of gold and black along the wide walls.

Venezuelan chef Jonathan Gomez dubs his style ‘Raval-mestizo’, signifying its originality in Barcelona’s contemporary cuisine. Yet we recommend you sit back and let the food speak for itself. For starters, try the crispy deep fried brie bites served with mango chutney, or the fresh red shrimp ceviche with salad. For main courses, the juicy grilled lomitos de atun with amapola seeds and soy sauce, or the organic beef hamburger will definitely leave a lasting impression. There are so many more options to rave about, but we’d rather you discover them firsthand. Wake your taste buds to the flavors of Raval.
