Dos Palillos literally means two sticks, what visitors immediately suggests that you can eat Asian food. That’s right, but Dos Palillos is also an authentic Spanish bar. The first part (bar) stayed Spanish where the sticks refer to toothpicks, which traditionally is used for tapas. You sit on chairs at the bar. If you walk through, you get into Asian spheres: here you can sit down and the food is prepared for your eyes.

Chef Albert Raurich was a decade employed with Ferran Adria’s El Bulli. He is assisted by his Japanese wife Tamae Imachi. You can therefore assume that their snacks are of high quality. In the kitchen is no fusion, but purely Asian with a personal touch and the prices are reasonable.

Dos Palillos is located on Carrer Elisabet 9, El Raval, metro station: Catalunya or universitat. For more information: http://www.dospalillos.com/. Need Barcelona accommodation for your vacation?
