Dos Palillos

In this bustling restaurant, where the closeness of the tables is more reminiscent of Asian restaurants, discover a tapas concept that has been taken to another level, hence its view that “tapas are not just a way of eating, but a philosophy for life”. Located just a few steps from Barcelona’s Museu d’Art Contemporani, Dos Palillos has a simple sake bar by the entrance, where you can eat without booking ahead, and a second more gastronomic U-shaped counter around an open kitchen, enabling guests to observe the full preparation process. At this second more attractive and elegant space, you can savour a particularly interesting surprise tasting menu – a fun fusion between Asian cooking (predominantly from Japan) and Iberian ingredients (including superb Galician seafood). The type of dishes that you’ll find on the menu include Japanese pil-pil “cocochas”, cold chicken pho, and chicken korma curry with baby lamb and mango pickle. The menu here changes daily.
