About
Opened in 2023, this South Lamar eatery took over the space once occupied by the popular tapas bar Barlata and celebrates the diverse cultural influences of Barcelona’s iconic El Raval neighborhood. This means a menu that is grounded in Spanish cuisine, but that also shows influences of North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Chef/Owner Laila Bazahm, born in the Philippines, honed her craft at two illustrious Singapore restaurants: Chef Emmanuel Stroobant’s Michelin-Starred Saint Pierre and Michelin-Starred L’Atelier Joël Robuchon. At El Raval, she transports diners with her distinctive tapas, stellar paellas, patatas bravas, ham croquettes, and, of course, a brilliant Basque cheesecake for dessert, among other choices. “El Raval is a place for laughter and chitchat over small plates,” says Texas Monthly. “This is a restaurant unlike almost any other in the city.”
