Whenever I go back to the UK, I always like to make sure I go for a slap up Chinese meal complete with crispy duck pancakes, because as hard as I look, there just doesn’t seem to be any decent Chinese food in Barcelona.
Thankfully, that isn’t the case for Japanese food. Barcelona has an abundance of Japanese restaurants, some better than others, but all relatively inexpensive (compared to UK)
My personal favourite is Kibuka. Located in Gracia, there are two of these Japo-Brazilian restaurants serving the most delicious sushi, sashimi and maki ever to grace my mouth. Clearly I am not the only one who thinks so as come opening time, it’s best to be there on the dot or find yourself on a three hour waiting list.. (no reservations unfortunately)
The menu is creative using ingredients such as strawberries, mango and fresh crab. The Uramaki’s are out of this world, I recommend the Tataki Uramaki, or in fact any of them, they’re all delish! Make sure you also try the spicy tuna, mmmmm mmm. My favourite dish is the hot Philadelphia roll, filled with smoked salmon and Philadelphia cheese, tempura-ed, then served hot with a mouth watering dipping sauce it will leave you thinking about it for weeks or until you go again.
Whenever we go to Kibuka, we generally skip the starters, maybe some edamame (soy beans) or a sunomono (cucumber salad) and just order a big variety of sashimi, uramaki, and assorted sushi. For around 25€ per person you get a good sushi fix, plus drinks and dessert.
