Best Asian Food Restaurants in Barcelona

"Nestled between two of the most picturesque plaças of the El Born neighbourhood, this little eatery is as charming as the streets surrounding it. Born to bring together tastes from different Far East countries, it has rapidly become one of the top places for Asian tapas and good craft beer. In this colourful and cosy space you will try tapas inspired by the flavours of Vietnam, China and Korea."

"The combination of Asian food and local craft beer is hardly a bad one. And that’s what you’ll find at Mosquito. It’s a hip little den where you will find delicious Asian morsels on offer."

"One of Barcelona’s most famous clubs, Shôko, is another top choice for those who seek an unforgettable night out. Best described as an Asian-Mediterranean fusion restaurant by day and a wild party spot at night, it is often a typical haunt of celebrities visiting the city, including the likes of Coldplay and Madonna. It is also known for hosting after-parties and some of the most inspired themed shindigs on the Mediterranean coast."

"Shôko, right on Barceloneta’s seafront promenade, is a lounge club and restaurant decorated with glamorous Asian-influenced decor. The ambience is cosmopolitan and chic, but keep in mind that you’ll find more tourists than Barcelona locals here. Music is mostly hip-hop, commercial hits and DJ sets, but there are also different parties throughout the week – be sure to check out its website for upcoming events."

"Right next door, Shôko is a well-known hotspot among locals for its glamorous, themed nights. Not only that, but you won’t go hungry here either. This trendy Asian-inspired restaurant serves a range of fusion and Thai food, including an incredible selection of sushi not to be missed."

"Cambodian chef Ly Leap set out to reproduce the atmosphere and feel of a Vietnamese village, and the result is wild: a thousand square metres of jungle, where the tables are tiny islands suspended above water, with fish in and everything."

"A frenzy of Asia-inspired tapas, in which Ly Leap shows off his expertise with spices, citrus and aromatic herbs. This place is crazy: 1000m2 of jungle, where the tables are tiny islands suspended above water, with fish and everything."

"This simple restaurant located in Roger de Flor offers a good sushi at a price that’s really low. This could be the ideal choice for those who are addicted to this kind of food but cannot afford higher prices. The nice Bona Sort Sushi is a specialization in the art of Japanese typical cuisine."

"Enjoy the cactus, palm trees, and roses hiking through the Mossen Costa Llobera Gardens. The best views of the city might be from the rides at Barcelona's Tibidabo amusement Park."

"Built as a private garden in the early 20th century, Tamarita Gardens is now a public garden where you can enjoy a peaceful day out. Designed by the architect and landscape Tuduri respecting the existing plant layouts, the garden is full of both decorative features such as sculptures, fountains and ornamental flower vases and nature at its best. Orange trees, lily turfs, silver limes, bamboo trees and many more welcomes you to enjoy a calming day in the garden while impressive architecture will give you a taste of nostalgia."

"This public park was inaugurated in the middle of the last century and is the ideal place to have a picnic with children without having to leave Barcelona. These gardens, superbly equipped for all types of visitors, stand out for their magnificent collection of rose gardens, which perfume the place in a truly amazing way. The pergolas located in it allow you to find shaded areas during most of the day, and your children will have a great time playing in the play area and the ping-pong tables that the gardens have."

"A paradise located in Pedralbes, Parc Cervantes greets us with a beautiful garden of roses if you are lucky to see it in between April and November when Barcelona’s climate is just perfect for to have a healthy and enjoyable walk outside. The rose garden is full with a variety of a collection of roses from all around the world but this is not the only charm that Parc Cervantes offers. You can enjoy the huge green spot for your sportive activities under sun and shade."

Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron were chosen to create an event space for the Forum Universal de les Cultures in Barcelona in 2004 and came up with an elevated, flat triangular structure that looks like a cake slice and makes ultimate use of the space it occupies between two streets. Reflective surfaces criss-cross the striking blue building, an example of the architect duo’s eye for materials."

"Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona or Museum of Natural Sciences is a great choice if you are visiting with children. They have a massive collection of artifacts, specimens, and even a botanical garden. I would mostly recommend this as a great choice for families traveling with children or for persons who do not have a natural history museum in their own town."

"Museu Blau is another natural science museum, and a favorite of both tourists and locals alike. The main collections focus on the natural world, with a focus on the natural history of Catalonia. There are temporary exhibitions as well, that change every few months."

"The European Museum of Modern Art is very close to the Picasso Museum, in the Born neighbourhood, therefore, you can consider visiting both on the same day. The museum stands in a neoclassical palace from the 18th century, the Palau Gomis and the collection is made up of figurative and realistic art. It is important to highlight that this museum does not exhibit abstract art and the aim of the museum is to show modern art from the 19th century to the present day."

"If you’re visiting the Picasso Museum, head to the next street for the European Museum of Modern Art (or MEAM). This less well-known gallery is on a mission – its ‘about’ page is a manifesto in favor of a new concept for contemporary art. MEAM celebrates figurative sculpture and painting from the 20th and 21st century."

"The Foundation of Arts and Artists owns the Museu Europeu d’Art Modern – also known as the MEAM. The exhibition place is located inside a contemporary, figurative art palace located to El Born area, where the artists actually live!. This makes the MEAM different from other contemporary art museum in Spain!"
