Background

About Silan

The Story

Silan is a Middle Eastern restaurant in L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, on the western side of Barcelona's Eixample. It serves both lunch and dinner, and is set up for everything from a quiet meal to a table full of friends.

The Cuisine

The cooking is Israeli and Levantine, a tradition built on shared mezze, herbs, olive oil, legumes and grilled and slow-cooked dishes meant to land on the table together rather than as separate courses. There are vegetarian options, which fits a cuisine where vegetables and pulses do a lot of the heavy lifting.

The Team

The kitchen works in the share-plate format the cuisine is known for, leaning on the spices, dips and grilled elements at the core of Levantine cooking. The format is built around the table eating together.
