Fusion food: not always good, sometimes amazing. It's amazing at Dos Palillos, a restaurant and bar in Barcelona where they serve a happy marriage of Spanish tapas and Japanese classics. We feasted on a succession of inventive riffs on the two cuisines...
tuna belly tacos, eel shiso wraps, Japanese mini-burgers with steamed buns (my favorite!), tempura boquerones, steamed meat dumplings, cherry mochi. Go if you can! Sitting at the bar is informal and a great way to sample everything. The staff is knowledgeable, charming and extremely enthusiastic about the food.
I absolutely loved this place. The mini burger were extraordinary. The head chef is a student of El Bulli, although I think he downplayed the experimental part a bit, which i prefer.
