Overview

BCN Taste & Tradition, opened in 2014 by restaurateur Ignacio Torras and Chef Luis Roger, brings authentic high-end Spanish cuisine to Houston. Located in a renovated 1920s home in Montrose, the restaurant is named after the airport code for Barcelona, reflecting its focus on Catalan cuisine. Chef Roger, who previously worked at El Bulli under legendary chef Ferran Adrià, creates dishes that honor Spanish culinary traditions while incorporating modern techniques. The intimate restaurant quickly became one of Houston's most coveted reservations, with its sophisticated yet unpretentious approach to Spanish gastronomy earning it consistent recognition as one of the city's best restaurants. The restaurant's commitment to authenticity extends to its imported ingredients, including jamón ibérico, Spanish cheeses, and olive oils.
