Executive Chef Javier Narvaez
Barcelona Wine Bar
Executive Chef Javier Narvaez’s nearly ten-year career in Miami now brings him to Barcelona Wine Bar to showcase an ever-changing ingredient-driven menu. With roots deeply embedded in the Ecuadorian and Puerto Rican flavors that filled his family’s kitchen, his culinary journey began under the influence of his uncle, a chef himself. This early education resulted in Chef Javier pursuing formal culinary training in New York City, embedding in him diverse culinary influences from neighborhoods like Chinatown and Little Italy. Before joining Barcelona Wine Bar, Chef Javier served as the long-time executive chef for Miami’s Pisco e Nazca. At the core of his extensive career, is a reverence for local ingredients, farmers, and producers– resulting in menus that are seasonally influenced and locally motivated. As the Executive Chef of Barcelona Wine Bar, Chef Javier’s menu is a culmination of incredibly diverse techniques presented through the lens of Spanish cuisine.
