As the name implies, Bar Nombre’s main influence comes from the food and drink of Spain. The owners’ desire is to amass the best collection of Spanish wines available, but without pretense or ostentation – Bar Nombre wants everyone who comes through their doors to feel welcome and comfortable!
Open since 2011 at Odengatan 36 in the Vasastan region of central Stockholm, Bar Nombre’s Spanish influence is evident in the stone walls, dark furnishings and colors, and culturally-themed wall hangings that feature in its interior. Its menu, while Spanish-inspired, is more of an eclectic mix of Spanish and Scandinavian-themed cuisine and well beyond tapas! Starters are available, but main dishes include racks of lamb, Swedish dry aged beef, and crispy pork belly, with pear and basil sorbet available for dessert. The chefs choose from the best ingredients available seasonally, so the menu can change regularly depending on the time of year.
And while the food at Bar Nombre is inspired, tasty and unique, it’s the drinks that the bar is known for. The long list of Spanish wines, much like the dinner menu, is continually updated and renewed both to pair the food with the best wine possible and to have the finest collection available. There are also a number of quality beers offered and the cocktails are made to perfection.
The bar is friendly and welcoming but also a bit small so reservations are a good idea. You can even request the chef’s table where your group can enjoy a special menu while watching the cooks at work!
