Live music, open sky, views of Barcelona from above, good atmosphere and brunch. It doesn't take much more to be happy on the weekend, right? Thus we would briefly summarize the new proposal of the Light house restaurant , located on the rooftop of the boutique hotel of the same name.
In the heart of the city, in Ronda Universitat, little does it foreshadow that the timid door of the Casa Luz hotel will take you to a roof full of light, plants, high wooden ceilings, delicious food and a decoration, of Lazaro Rosa Violan , which makes you think that you are in a small oasis in the same city.

A BARCELONA GASTRONOMY INSPIRED BY NEW YORK
In charge of the kitchens of Casa Luz, Thomas Abellan , owner and creative director of the Alegría group, offers a simple gastronomy, very Barcelona , guided by the season and a quality product, which is also accompanied by a natural wine list and cocktails inspired by the big cities.
“Casa Luz compared to Bar Alegría has a wider offer due to its size; we have grill, a good bar and cellar to be able to make a more extensive offer that allows us to expand the range of possibilities. It is a simpler, purer, more product-based gastronomic offer,” the chef stresses to Traveler.es.
A la carte restaurant has been added a new brunch menu , which you can enjoy every Sunday. It is a “classic brunch offer, with a middle-east touch, thinking of the new york brunch , since I lived there for a year, and I loved the vibe that there was on Sundays in the city”.

The brunch starts with starters to share : pita bread, hummus, tzatziki, guacamole with tortilla chips, oysters and eggplant croquettes, as well as sweet and savory main dishes such as the classic french toast, club sandwich, cesar salad and benedict eggs. Extensive accompaniments are added to them, thinking of complementing the meal with potato chips , smoked salmon Rooftop Smokehouse , smoked butter with toast, poached or scrambled free-range eggs.
The cocktails have also been designed by Tomás and are the traditional ones that can accompany this type of brunch. not missing the mimosa, the bellini, bloody mary…
The New York cheesecake from Casa Luz.
The menu ends with delicious homemade desserts . "We have New York Cheesecake, banoffee and a ice cream sandwich grilled”. We stop a little longer at the banoffee, perhaps the least known of all in the city, although not if you have traveled to New York. This cake will delight those addicted to roasted banana and an irresistible crumble, whipped cream and toffee.
The Casa Luz restaurant is operational throughout the week, also at breakfast and dinner. “The rest of the week is a menu based on grilled, fish market and garden products. Always designed to share within the tapas philosophy, but with dishes a little fresher and more elaborate than the classic tapas”.
