Part of the Casa Camper hotel, local design temple Vinçon and architect Jordi Tió have deliberately made the entrance of this delectable Asian-inspired tapas bar look like any other in the Raval, but in the back you’ll find a Japanese-style 25-seat dining room set around the kitchen area.
There it’s Albert Raurich, former commander-in-chief of El Bulli’s army of chefs, who calls the shots. Despite his El Bulli credentials, don’t expect molecular fusion cuisine: the dishes and cooking methods are authentically Asian – the fusion element comes from the use of Spanish raw ingredients.
If you don’t manage to get a reservation, the full menu can also be had in the kitsch entrance area. There you can also explore the excellent wine list which can be sampled by the glass.
