Background

About Cobab

The Story

Cobab is a casual Korean restaurant in La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample, the residential western side of Barcelona's Eixample district. It's built for everyday eating rather than occasion, with lunch and dinner service and prices that sit in the €10-20 range.

The Cuisine

Korean food leans on bold, layered flavours — chilli, garlic, ginger, fermented elements and plenty of rice — typically served family-style with banchan, the small shared side dishes that come alongside the main plates. There are vegetarian options here if you're not eating meat.

The Team

The kitchen turns out Korean cooking in a casual, sit-down or takeout format. It keeps things approachable, with dishes meant to be shared and prices kept low.
