Dos Palillos, meaning "two chopsticks" in Spanish, offers a unique culinary experience just steps from Barcelona's Museu d'Art Contemporani. Chef Albert Raurich, a veteran of elBulli, creatively bridges Asian and Iberian flavors in a way that elevates tapas to haute cuisine. The restaurant earned its Michelin star through its high level of quality and innovation. The space features a casual sake bar for walk-ins, serving an à  la carte dim sum selection and street food menu. The main attraction is the U-shaped counter surrounding the open kitchen, where diners can observe the meticulous preparation of each dish. Here, a surprise tasting menu showcases the fun fusion of Asian techniques, predominantly Japanese, with superb Iberian ingredients, including seafood from Galicia. The experience is a performance, a theatre, where tapas are not just a way of eating, but a philosophy for life.
