The Story
El Bund 18 sits in the Sagrada Família neighbourhood of Barcelona's Eixample, serving Shanghainese food for lunch and dinner. It's a casual, sit-down spot with a terrace, set up for both eating in and ordering takeout.
The Cuisine
Shanghainese cooking comes out of Shanghai and the surrounding Yangtze River delta — a regional Chinese style known for a slightly sweeter, soy-forward profile and dishes like braises, dumplings and rice and noodle plates.

The Team
The kitchen works within the eastern-Chinese tradition, cooking to order across a full lunch and dinner service. The format is straightforward sit-down dining with takeout available for the same menu.
