Japanese & Brazilian Fusion

16/2/2016

0 Comments

190. El Paralelo is certainly staring to become the new Soho in Barcelona. Starting with Tickets by Famous Chef Albert Adria or Bodega 1900 also by him, a new concept comes up: Ikibana. This amazing Japanese & Brazilian fusion restaurant is a sushi wonderland. More than a restaurant is a fantastic entertaining space. They have a free valet parking waiting for you at the door (super easy to park) a friendly welcoming and then your table waiting! (Reservations recommended of course!). You can have either a cute romantic table or a cool and funky island (as they call it) with your friends and family. A fantastic sushi bar where you can see all the amazing creations and even a live music DJ on site! A little pricy, its best to order their set menu starting from 39€ with many courses and desserts to die for!
A very funky place if you are in the mood of sushi, something fun and something different! Full of internacional people, love it!!

180. This very chic restaurant known as El Japonés is located in the sweet passage right on Paseo de Gracia known as el Pasaje de la Concepción. It is part of the famous Grupo Tragaluz knwon frits "know how" with regards to restaurants and bonne cuisine. El Japones use to be located across the road but now with the new space it is even more chic and authentic. Right across is the sushi shop which also serves sushi at a more quick service and cheaper value (although good too). This is a little lever higher, with authentic Japanese waiters serving your food and unbelievable fresh sushi. Although a little pricy, a must try at least once.

177. This past weekend we discovered young Artist Anna Gabriela Vidaurrazaga. Anna is a History of Art Student who has been influenced by her recent trip to the USA. You can see her observations from her trip on the different pieces of art. She covers from textures, collages, acrylic paints, watercolors and colored oils.
We even purchased one of the works inspired in a high street in New York. The calm and peaceful scenery yet with a pastel colored ambience made us decide to acquire this beautiful piece. We must check out the youngster’s work as you never know when the new Dali or Picasso are going to come up!
