Aiueno
Aiueno is a chic little Japanese spot in La Dreta de l'Eixample doing creative, artfully plated Japanese and fusion dishes, with wine and sake to drink alongside. There's a lunch menu that keeps things accessible, and dinner that goes a bit further. Good for anyone who wants something a little more design-led than your standard sushi bar.
Background
About Aiueno
The Story
Aiueno sits in La Dreta de l'Eixample, in the Verdaguer pocket of Barcelona's Eixample district. It's a chic, compact place built around creative Japanese and fusion cooking, with wine and sake on the list.
The Cuisine
The kitchen does Japanese and fusion, leaning on careful, artful presentation rather than a long traditional sushi menu. Japanese cooking here covers the usual ground of raw fish, rice and umami-driven plates, with fusion touches that pull in flavours from beyond Japan. Sake and wine are both part of the offer.
The Team
The kitchen's focus is creative, fusion-minded Japanese cooking served in a small-plate, share-friendly format. Presentation is a clear priority, with dishes built to look as considered as they taste.
