Background
About Melo-Jia
The Story
Melo-Jia is a Chinese restaurant in L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, working from the cooking of Wenzhou, a city in the coastal Zhejiang province. It sits in a sleek, minimalist room in a quieter, residential corner of the Eixample.
The Cuisine
The kitchen cooks Wenzhou-style food from Zhejiang, a coastal region where seafood and fish play a big part. Expect stir-fries and fish dishes alongside noodles and dim sum dumplings — the small steamed and filled parcels that anchor a lot of southern Chinese tables.
The Team
The kitchen's focus is regional Wenzhou and Zhejiang cooking rather than a generic Chinese menu. It spans stir-fries, fish, noodles and dim sum dumplings, the kind of spread that's built for ordering several things and sharing.
