 With a bold red-and-gold contemporary design infused into a historic Old Pasadena building, Bar Celona projects a hip, festive vibe. In addition to the sleek dining room and tapas bar, there’s also a hip cocktail lounge and patio. Chef Josef Centeno (Lot 1, Opus, Meson G) has created a menu of modern versions of traditional Spanish dishes. Among the tapas selections are tortilla española, whipped salt cod and potato on grilled bread, and authentic Spanish cheeses and cured meats. Dinner entrées include Tasmanian ocean trout with lima beans and gooseberries; braised short rib with olive oil crushed potato and a red wine reduction; and roast duck breast with beluga lentils, anise spiced pear and sweet-sour strawberries. The paellas, generously scented with saffron, are large enough to share. Sangría, both red and white, flows freely and some decent Spanish wines are offered as well. For dessert, don't miss the Bar Celona split, an impressive presentation of Grand Marnier-flambéed bananas accompanied by various ice creams and sauces.
