Years of Culinary Excellence

From Barcelona to Stockholm

Meet Chef Oscar

Born in Peru and shaped by his years in Barcelona, Chef Oscar Barrantes now brings 17 years of culinary and restaurant experience to Stockholm. It was in Barcelona that he created La Lucha — his own restaurant, which he ran as its owner and head chef. He developed the concept and the entire menu from the ground up, bringing the flavours of Peru and Spain together in his personal fusion style.

La Lucha was also a deeply personal project. Oscar created it as a tribute to his grandmother Maria Lucia — the first person who taught him to cook and one of the most important people in his life.

For more than eight years, Oscar hosted interactive cooking workshops and culinary experiences in Barcelona. At least 1,200 guests took part, leaving more than 500 reviews on Airbnb. Today, he shares that experience in Stockholm in two different ways: during Paella Experience, guests cook and spend time together, while as a Private Chef he prepares individually planned menus at a location chosen by the client.

What Guests Say About Chef Oscar

Historical Google reviews from La Lucha in Barcelona — the restaurant created and led by Chef Oscar Barrantes.

The BEST. Unbelievable. My friend and I bought an Airbnb experience and it was the BEST experience I’ve ever had. Chef Oscar is so kind, thoughtful and his food is exceptional. Incredible, you have to try. Isabella, his assistant is so kind, explained the history of paella, ceviche and sangria. I want to come back here every year. Don’t hesitate to come and try Chef Oscar’s food!

My husband and I were on our honeymoon in Spain and had an amazing time. The ceviche and paella were delicious and so fresh. They make the sangria with fresh fruit; that is a must order! We loved seeing Chef cook in the open air kitchen. The service was incredible, and we felt so welcomed. A wonderful memory. Thank you, La Lucha!

Google Maps review — La Lucha, Barcelona

As an experienced traveler, I have visited many places, but I have never experienced such kindness and love as they did. I consider ourselves lucky to be able to sit next to the chef and admire the way he prepares the food in the kitchen. Amazing.... according to the description, with 15 years of experience, Oscar prepared magnificent food both days. As we saw the devoted movements when it comes to the food is incredible. I envy you, even after all these years, the food is prepared with such humility. Izabella, as my wife put it, is a charming, kind woman. She was the waitress who spoke to us from the first moment as if we had known each other for years. Then the boy, whose name I unfortunately didn’t remember, but who helps in the kitchen is a real clown. It’s funny, he’s always looking for the contact when he can talk to you. The place is incredible. Everyone has something unique, that’s why he seemed so friendly. They were attentive in all areas. Anyone who comes here should pay attention to the fact that all the food comes out of the hands of the chef, so you may have to wait a few minutes longer, but if something is worth waiting for, it is the food prepared by him, which is amazing. La Lucha was one of the most beautiful experiences for us in Barcelona. Too bad we were only there for two days. Thank you for the delicious food and attentive service! I congratulate you for this place heated with love. I believe that fate will bring us together again.

Unbelievable food, prepared by an incredible chef. I am so sad that I discovered this place on my last day because I would have eaten here every single day in Barcelona
