About us

At Bar Paral·lel, you never know where the evening will take you. We admit we can be a little loud, but for us, the atmosphere is just as important as the food itself. That’s why we’ve settled in a building dating back to 1901, full of history and character. Come visit us like you would a good friend.

Food bar

One of Barcelona’s main streets, Avinguda del Paral·lel, is full of life – with theatre, music, people, and exciting flavours. Bar Paral·lel is located on Rüütli Street in Tartu, which could be considered one of the main streets of Tartu. Here, life, music, history, and exceptional flavours come together.

To us, a food bar means the freedom to shape your evening exactly as you like. There’s no need to plan ahead when you visit – we’ll help you navigate the menu and find the right path as the night unfolds. Just fancy a little something with your wine? No problem! Craving a table full of dishes to share with friends? Absolutely!

Food and drinks

The food and drink selection is inspired by Basque culture. For us, quality is no empty buzzword.

Bar Paral·lel is defined by a new-wave Spanish kitchen – we’re not chasing traditional tapas or boxing dishes into strict categories. Instead, we serve plates made for sharing, tasting, and discovering at your own pace. Each dish comes on a small plate, offering its own distinct experience. Honest, considered, and always with a hint of the unexpected.

We’ll make sure your glass stays full of wines that are intriguing companions to our food.

People

We care deeply about our people – both those who work here and those who keep coming back. Our team has the spirit of a Spanish family – passionate, close-knit, and welcoming. If you feel like you’d like to be part of it, get in touch.
