Baresca
About
Baresca brings a slice of Barcelona to the heart of Nottingham’s Lace Market, offering a vibrant, family‑run tapas experience that blends authentic Spanish flavours with local ingredients. Open from 11:45 am every day except Monday, Baresca serves freshly prepared pintxos, cold cuts, and a selection of wines and craft beers in a warm, Gaudí‑inspired setting that feels like an intimate bar on the old market street. The restaurant quickly became a local favourite for breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner, as well as for larger gatherings of up to 100 guests in its atmospheric cellar bar or first‑floor dining rooms. The flexible layout and dedicated bar area make it an ideal spot for both relaxed family dinners and a lively evening out with friends. For special occasions, such as Christmas or corporate events, Baresca offers private booking options, with online reservations available for groups up to six and a dedicated booking form for larger parties. Baresca’s menu reflects its roots in the bustling Boqueria market of Barcelona, featuring bold tapas that range from classic patatas bravas and tortilla to more adventurous seafood and vegetarian tapas. A small selection of coffees, freshly squeezed juices, and Mediterranean desserts finishes the experience. With mid‑range pricing – starters start around £6 – it offers a memorable Spanish dining experience at a value that attracts both locals and visitors, all while boasting a welcoming atmosphere with live music, Catalan décor, and a friendly, bilingual staff ready to guide guests through the menu.
