Searching for an open Japanese restaurant in Barcelona around the holidays (late December) is…read moreapparently no easy task... I think everyone goes on vacation! We breathed a huge sigh of relief when found that Tempura-Ya was open. Nice mid-range restaurant, casual and decent prices while still having a slightly upscale vibe. We were welcomed in by the staff with a cheerful "irraishaimase" (your standard greeting upon entering most legit Japanese restaurants). I got excited when I realized our server spoke Spanish, Japanese, AND English... the 3 languages I can claim to speak (in varying capacities depending on which one :P). Overall, I'd say the food was solid. Not the best Japanese food I've ever had in my life and no where near the worst. There's a lot of tempura on the menu of course, but they also have sushi and a lot of other typical Japanese items. Tried were the gyoza- tasty and good consistency; tempura udon- noodles good and broth savory and comforting, but the tempura does not come separate and got soggy real fast in the soup; sukiyaki udon- my partner said it hit the spot; tekka maki (basic tuna sushi roll)- clean and simple; and green tea cheesecake- DELICIOSO! If you're a fan of Japanese food and in the area, I'd definitely recommend this place. If I lived in the area, I would probably be a regular!

I love the tempura maki and their homemade sesame flan. Rice on maki is always fresh! They have a lunch menu that varies from 10euros to 15euros. Service is fantastic!

And I followed up with the main course of 4 cheese pizza with sage and walnuts. This was tasty and more than enough for one person. A bit more sage would have been good as the cheese really drowned it out. A solid 4 stars - a few more individual sushi elections and this might have been 5.

On our first morning in Barcelona, we happened to stumble upon this small, local, Mom-and-Pop-run…read morecafe. The owners did not seem to speak much English, but luckily my vague remembering of high school Spanish and fervent gesticulations sufficed. We ordered the classic jamón ibérico, a Russian salad, and two smoothies (containing mango, papaya, guava juice, and pineapple, among some other frutas I cannot seem to recall). The smoothies were perfect for the hot day in store. Made from only the fruits and juice base, it tasted fresh and delicious. The jamón was also amazing, and this experience set our expectations high for upcoming dining experiences. We wound up returning to this cafe 3 other days for breakfast (3 of our 7 breakfasts there)! There was no other place that really hit the spot quite like this one. Or perhaps we were just major suckers for a good smoothie. Either way, it speaks volumes when two tourists spend 4/21 precious meals in a new city at the same location! A must-try for anyone in the Barcelona area.
