The story
La Barra de Fran brings the traditions of Spanish cuisine to Polanco, Mexico City. The restaurant describes itself as a contemporary Spanish taberna, one that evokes the extensive recipe book of Iberian cooking in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
The menu expresses 100% of the Spanish culinary tradition. Ingredients are chosen with care, and dishes are presented with simplicity—whether at the tapas and cured meat bar or at the table. This focus on quality and straightforward preparation has earned La Barra de Fran a Michelin Recommended distinction, a nod to its authentic approach.
From the bar, guests can enjoy classic tapas and embutidos, while the table service offers heartier plates. The restaurant’s own words capture its philosophy: "Las recetas de toda la vida" (The recipes of a lifetime). This commitment to time-honored Spanish dishes, executed in a modern setting, defines the experience.
La Barra de Fran is open daily from noon to midnight, making it a reliable spot for a long lunch or a late dinner. Whether you are stopping by for a quick bite at the counter or settling in for a full meal, the restaurant delivers a taste of Spain in the heart of Polanco.
