Bera Restaurant at Monument Hotel joins the 2026 edition of Barcelona’s Hotel Tapa Tour, an annual gathering that threads through the city’s most accomplished five star establishments. From 5 to 15 November, the restaurant offers two precisely conceived bites, each paired with a carefully selected wine, the work of chef Gabriele Milani.

The first tapa presents Gallician beef tartare crowned with an arbequina olive sphere, accompanied by Arenas y Limo 2024, a wine from Ribera del Duero. The second moves into richer territory: a truffle bikini layered with butifarra del perol and smoked scamorza, paired with Vins Clos Gelida 4 Heretats cava. Each component carries intention, from the aged charcuterie to the careful balance between earthiness and smoke.

The Hotel Tapa Tour cycle has long drawn those who understand Barcelona’s gastronomic culture: a route through luxury hotels where chefs approach the tapa not as a miniature but as a complete expression, measured and refined. Bera’s participation positions the restaurant within that conversation, offering guests an encounter with the kitchen’s sensibility at an intimate scale.

Service runs daily from 16.00 to 20.00, allowing the unhurried pace that these small plates and wine pairings demand. The setting itself, with its warm materials and careful lighting, holds the kind of sophistication that transforms an afternoon hour into something more deliberate.
