The Verdict
ROCA MOO holds a Michelin star in the Hotel Omm on Carrer de Rossello in the Eixample as the Barcelona expression of the Roca brothers' culinary philosophy - the connection to Joan, Jordi, and Josep Roca whose El Celler de Can Roca in Girona has been recognised as the world's best restaurant communicating a specific culinary intelligence and Catalan regional philosophy applied here in the Barcelona hotel context. The modern Catalan tasting menu whose specific preparations communicate the Roca family's accumulated culinary intelligence applied to the Hotel Omm's specific resources; the dessert programme whose specific compositions communicate Jordi Roca's specific pastry intelligence; and the wine programme whose Catalan selections communicate Josep Roca's specific wine knowledge applied to the Barcelona market.
The modern Catalan menu at Roca Moo reflects the Roca philosophy applied to the hotel restaurant format: the seasonal Catalan preparations whose compositions communicate the same direct engagement with the Catalan ingredient environment that El Celler de Can Roca applies; the specific technique whose execution communicates the culinary knowledge that the world's most celebrated Catalan culinary family has developed; and the Barcelona hotel context that makes the Roca intelligence accessible to a wider audience than the Girona pilgrimage that El Celler requires.
One Michelin star in the Hotel Omm for the Barcelona expression of the most celebrated Catalan culinary family's philosophy - communicating that the most significant available Catalan culinary intelligence is present in Barcelona as well as in Girona.
