From Georgia to Japan: A Gastronomic Journey Through Barcelona's Diverse Cuisine

Barcelona is a city where not only people from all over the world get along, but also different national cuisines! If you love new things and want to surprise your taste buds, this selection is for you. We have compiled a list of 5 places in the Catalan capital where you can try hinkali, moussaka, fo-bo soup, sushi, kebabs, tapas and much more...

Good Japanese restaurant in the heart of the Eixample district - on Enric Granados street. A place with a very elegant interior and a large menu. All kinds of sushi and sashimi are very good. I had the best tuna tataki (see photo with edamame). If it's your first time in a Japanese restaurant, try the traditional dish - hamachi tiradito. It is a delicate fish marinated in a sauce of more than 15 ingredients with vegetables. 

Meat dishes are just as "spectacular" and delicious. They are cooked on a Japanese grill, which is not available in every restaurant of this type. Main courses range from €13 to €30, and starters and salads from €5 to €12.

There are already three Dionisos restaurants in Barcelona, the first and most famous of which is located in the Born district and 'looks' out over the gates of the Citadel Park. It is very popular with locals and tourists for several reasons. 

Firstly, the traditional Greek cuisine is full of fish and meat, salty cheeses and aromatic herbs - just like Spanish cuisine. Secondly, the cuisine meets the requirements of the Mediterranean diet (simple cooking methods, olive oil, plenty of fresh vegetables) and is suitable for almost everyone. Thirdly, the atmosphere! Families gather here in the evening to eat dakos, moussaka, dolma and listen to music, while during the day workers come for a quick meal of hearty pita with vegetables, meat and yoghurt sauce, and to discuss the latest news. The fourth reason is the high quality of the food at very democratic prices: between €5 and €10 per dish.

Vietnamese street food restaurants can be found in the Born and Gracia districts. If you are unfamiliar with this cuisine, I suggest you start with the most famous dish - pho soup, which is deliciously prepared in this establishment. I also love their red curry salad, buns and crispy noodles.

The atmosphere is always very relaxed and friendly. The prices are quite democratic: starters and salads - €6-9, main courses - €9-11. Healthy food with lots of spices and flavours, perfectly energising without being heavy. Ideal for a snack or lunch.

The bar is a restaurant where you can feel the frenetic energy of the city and the friendly disposition of the waiters. Here you can feel the soul and the history. 

In Cañete you can taste the best of Spanish and Catalan cuisine: different tapas, jamón, anchovies, croquettes, tomato bread, clams, spicy octopus, beef or tuna tartare, eggs with the famous Spanish sausage "chorizo", Spanish cannelloni, paella... Of course, you can't try everything at once. That's why you'll definitely want to come back. And you will be thinking about it before you get the bill. As far as money is concerned, the place is not cheap, but not very expensive either. You can have dinner for 50-60 euros for two people!
