    Absolutely fantastic food and cocktails here. One of the best meals I had on this trip to Spain…read more It's basically a fusion of a Thai and Valencian cuisines in a modern setting on the busy Gran Via. Service was great all around. Attractive, friendly, and competent people. I started with the absolutely delicious Ping Pong cocktail, a mix of lychee and passion fruit purées with gin. Wow was that a great drink! I had two. Next I started with three Guillardeaux oysters. They were so plump and sweet. Astounding, actually. I could have made a meal of these if not so expensive (€3.50 each). I also tried a small croquette of Roquefort and spinach that was everything a croquette should be. Next up was an amazing Thai fish cake. It was crunchy and tender and mildly spicy with a nice hit of fresh coriander. It was a starter that I was sad to see disappear so quickly. It's a taste I want to experience again. My main course was a tiradito of local seafood. It's basically a ceviche but they amped up the flavor with a Thai-inspired marinade. The shellfish were amazingly sweet and tender and played well with that sauce. A very generous portion, too. I finished with dessert, a small disc of cheesecake topped with both a caramel sauce and berry purée. Neither was overly sweet. It was surrounded by beautiful chopped, toasted hazelnuts and a crunch derived from coffee. The entire dish worked beautifully. All of this came to €65! Very good value. Whoever is in the kitchen is seriously talented. This place is a winner. Go, eat like Thai royalty, and enjoy!

    NOTE: it seems their Yelp address is not updated! Other than that, the easiest 5 stars to ever…read moregive. The new address is Gran Via de les Germanies 34. Came at opening time on a Saturday night and we were only able to get bar seating, where the friendly bartender served us a full menu. The 2 of us started with a sashimi bowl with tuna and salmon of a very high quality, just pure sea flavors with perfect texture. Served on a bed of rice and a soy-based sauce, this was a easy and playful cold appetizer. We next ordered 2 thai fishcakes which floored me. How does a Spanish restaurant do Thai food? This place does it damn well! The prominent lemongrass flavor balanced by other Thai essences (I'm guessing ginger/cilantro root/chilis) was masterfully done, with a very bold overall taste profile (paralleling that of jamon). My favorite. We ordered the seasonal deep fried thai fish as a main, which was seabass when we were there. At 19 Euros for the market rate, it was fair. The whole fish was deep fried to a crisp, rendering the smaller bones edible. Served in a lovely thai sauce (similar to the fishcakes) and smothered with spring onions and chilis. Lastly, the dessert was truly memorable: pumpkin flan with chunks of chili infused apricot, topped with a whipped requeson cheese cream and caramelized and crispy pumpkin seeds! Cocktails were respectful of classic recipe and bold too (pisco sour and a passion fruit /lychee / mint / gin drink). Dinner for 2 with 3 self-selected courses, 4 glasses of wine was 75. Staff spoke some English and were friendly and highly professional.

    El Bouet - Tiradito of local shellfish. Thai broth. This was superb. Maybe one the best dishes of my entire week in Spain. Get it!
