Llamber: A Polished “New Classic” That Plays It Safe

Llambèr has settled into that coveted Barcelona category: the “new classic.” The location does half the seduction for you, and the room is handsome without trying too hard. More importantly, there’s oficio—an easy competence that you feel in the pacing, the timing, the general sense that everyone knows what they’re doing.

The menu, however, is less singular than the setting suggests. It’s the global tapas playbook—croquetas, familiar small plates, the expected hits—distinguished mainly by the presence of rice dishes. The arroces give the place its identity, but even there, the feeling is of well-made tradition rather than revelation. The product is good and treated properly; nothing is mishandled. It’s simply not spectacular.

Value is the lingering question. For what arrives, the pricing feels a touch ambitious—more “scene” than substance. Llambèr is an easy recommendation for a first visit: pleasant, polished, reliable. But once you’ve checked the box, it’s hard to think of a reason to return, beyond convenience and the comfort of knowing the kitchen won’t embarrass you.
