Background
About Boa-Bao
The Story
Boa-Bao is a pan-Asian restaurant in L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, the western side of Barcelona's Eixample district. It serves both lunch and dinner, with a full bar running alongside the kitchen.
The Cuisine
Pan-Asian cooking draws from across the continent rather than a single country, so the menu spans dishes from several Asian traditions on one table. There are vegetarian options, and a drinks list that covers wine, beer and cocktails.
The Team
The kitchen works in the shared, cross-regional pan-Asian format, building a menu meant for ordering across the table. Dessert is part of the offering too.

A wok at full fire sounds exactly like dinner should. Loud. Fast. A little chaotic. And absolutely worth it. Consider this your sign. #BoaBaoBarcelona #Barcelona #PanAsian #panasianfood #bcnfood
