Direkte Boqueria

One of the best gastronomic experiences I've had in Barcelona. The plates are very well thought and a great combination between local and Asian recipes and ingredients. Also, almost everything used is locally sourced. Regarding the atmosphere and service, you see everything happening in front of your eyes which is fascinating and the staff explains every dish in detail and is happy to answer any questions about the preparation of the dishes. Also, the price might seem high but it's 78 euros for 12 dishes which isn't bad at all if you take into consideration the quality and the work that they need so that they can be created.

A Fusion Feast of Japanese Delights at Direkte! Stepping into Direkte was like embarking on a culinary adventure where Catalunya met Japan in perfect harmony. We decided to go all out and ordered the big menu, and let me tell you, it was a decision we did not regret! The summer vibes were evident in every dish, and the freshness of the ingredients was unparalleled. With a delightful abundance of fish dishes, Direkte truly captured the essence of the season. Each bite was a celebration of Japanese flavors infused with the bountiful Mediterranean catch, creating a symphony of tastes that left us craving for more. But it wasn't just the food that impressed us; the wine recommendations were exquisite! We decided to try both orange wines and white wines to complement our meal. The server's knowledge of the wines and their ability to pair them perfectly with the dishes was commendable. It added a delightful touch to the overall dining experience, elevating our enjoyment to new heights. Speaking of the service, I can't help but give it a resounding ten out of ten! The staff at Direkte were attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They guided us through the different courses, explaining each dish with passion and making sure our dining journey was nothing short of extraordinary. The chefs at Direkte truly showcased their talent by combining these two diverse cuisines with such finesse, creating a unique and unforgettable gastronomic experience. One thing that I would change was the first dessert, it was tasty but I prefer something else than lettuce for that kind of step.

A fantastic dining experience! We had 12 courses (cuz why not) and each one of them gave a different palate sensation. Paired with wine of your choice( I recommend the orange wine). Chef Alessandro created several dishes that were absolutely mind-blowing, especially the salad dessert and cacao dessert. During the evening, he was very engaging and made the experience fun and educational. We absolutely loved it. Personal favorites: jellyfish, white asparagus, pig trotter, scallop carpaccio, soup dumping! The cherry on top is the sweet wine, a perfect digestif to end the evening.
