We had a really nice dinner here at Nobu Barcelona!
Originally planned to come here for breakfast this morning actually but time didn't permit us to visit.
I'm happy we got to come here for dinner though! Reservations were easy to make on their website online. 50€/person no show fee.
It's located on the 23rd floor of the Nobu Hotel & the view is GORGEOUS!
The food was also delicious. Nobu is always a great time & we had a blast. I have yet to have a bad meal at any of the Nobu's I have been to.
We thought about getting the omakases at first (they have Original + Barcelona style) but they only come with 6 courses for the original & 7 courses for the Barcelona style, which was different from the last time we had omakase at their NYC Downtown location (~15 courses for $225/person).
Here's what we ended up ordering:
-papacito drink 18€
-La Brujita Caliente 18€
- tuna crispy rice 24€
- edamame 9€
- tuna tataki 29€
- salmon karashi sumiso 23€
- wagyu sliders 32€ (comes w/ two sliders)
- toro w/ scallion maki 17€
- squid "noodles" 32€
- Chilean sea bass jalapeño miso 51€
The drinks were great! I personally had the passionfruit Papacito drink, which I had to get as a passionfruit lover. I didn't find it too sweet & it was just right. The la brujita caliente drink had a kick to it & tasted pretty strong, though neither drinks are what we typically would go for.
*Tuna crispy rice: This was one of my favorite dishes! It's simple but tasted so good. Everything from the spicy tuna mix to the crispy rice cubes and the sauce were amazing. Everything complimented each other so well. I could've gone for another order!
*Edamame: It was your typical order of edamame honestly. I thought it was complimentary the way our server asked us if we wanted some but I guess not haha. It's okay, edamame is always good while waiting for food! They have a salted version & a spicy version; we opted for salted.
*Tuna Tataki: tangy & tasty goodness! Thick cuts of super fresh tasting tuna with the perfect sauce. We preferred this over the salmon tataki we also ordered.
* Salmon Tataki: this dish tasted different from the tuna tataki due to the sauce base. This one had a wasabi miso sauce, which is great if you like wasabi! I personally liked it but if you don't like wasabi, you might not enjoy it as much. Thick salmon cuts!
*Wagyu sliders: ALWAYS A HIT for us! These sliders were cooked perfectly, super juicy, and flavorful. One of our favorites. Would order again.
*Toro w/ scallion roll: this roll just had seaweed, rice, toro, and scallion. No extra frills but tasted fresh and clean.
*Squid "Noodles": I would NOT get this again, mostly because there were no noodles lol. This should be labeled "squid stir fry with vegetables" or something along those lines. Good flavor though & squid was cooked well.
* Chilean Sea bass: Simply DELICIOUS! This is always one of my favorite entrees to order anywhere & they didn't disappoint with this dish here either. We ordered the one with jalapeño miso & it was buttery & melt in your mouth good. 10/10!
At the end of our meal, our server came out with a cute complimentary birthday dessert. We chose not to order dessert since we were stuffed already but I really appreciated the comp. dessert ;)
Overall, I'm super happy we decided to go to Nobu Barcelona for dinner. Nobu pretty much never disappoints me & even the "bad" dishes are superb. I wouldn't personally get the squid "noodles" again because it was misleading but it was still good just not what we had hoped for.
Would definitely come back again!!
Highly recommend for a yummy sushi meal. read more
