Background
About Fan Dim Sum
The Story
Fan Dim Sum sits in Sant Gervasi-Galvany, up in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district north of the city centre. It's a sit-down Chinese place built around dim sum and xiaolongbao, open across both lunch and dinner.
The Cuisine
Dim sum is the Cantonese way of eating — lots of small steamed and fried plates, dumplings and buns you order a handful of and pass around rather than one big main each. The house specialty leans into that with xiaolongbao, the soup-filled dumplings you're meant to handle gently so you don't lose the broth inside.
The Team
The kitchen is focused on dim sum and dumpling work, the kind of cooking that lives or dies on folding and steaming done à la minute. It's a share-the-table format, so plates come out to the middle for everyone to pick from.

Mira bien. Esto no sale de una máquina. Cada mañana, antes de que abramos las puertas, las manos ya están trabajando la masa. Harina, agua, paciencia. Se amasa, se reposa, se vuelve a amasar. Hasta que queda elástica, sedosa, lista para convertirse en algo casi transparente. Después viene lo difíc
