Kibuka Goya

Kibuka Goya

Kibuka

A friend of mine recommended me this Japanese restaurant in Gràcia and, as we normally have the same tastes in terms of gastronomy, I decide de try it. The first thing about Kibuka that surprises me is that its looks have nothing to do with the Japanese restaurants I am used to. The ceiling has wooden beams, the waiting staff speaks Spanish since most of them are Argentinean and the three sushimen are Japanese only if I am a top model. But they wear on their forehead the typical band that became famous thanks to Mr. Miyagi in Karate Kid, the one who told Daniel Son to wax on and wax off. So far, this is the scene I find when, at 10.30pm, I enter the restaurant and leave behind groups of friends and couples waiting on the street. The hustle inside and the line of people that waits outside make me think that the staff may be a bit nervious and histeric, but I am completely wrong. A smile here, a smile there. “You have to wait for 45 minuts for a table, but if the bar is ok for you, then you can seta right now”, tells us the maitre who is also Argentinean. We decide to sit at the bar, from where we can see how the sushimen –who turn to be as Brasilean as Ronaldinho- work, and we are happy to see that in spite of the hectic rhythm, good manners and friendliness are always there. The only waiter with Asian features gives us the menu with long lists of dishes on both sides: from makis with meat, chicken, cheese, crab, mayonnaise, veggies, spicy...to the most classic rolls. The combinations are original, attractive and suitable for genuine Japanes cuisine lovers but also for those who can’t stand raw fish. That is probably the key to the evident success of the restaurant –one hour after we sit, people keep entering the place. Our choice includes Spicy Maguro Tempura, some sort of spicy tuna wrapped with a breaded seaweed, and Ebi Tempura Uramaki, with crab in tempura, roe and mayonnaise, delicious. We continue with Skin-Uramaki Salmon, a roll made with smoked salmon filled with its skin and with a generous seaweed salad topped with a wonderful sauce. Our meal is completes with an old Ramón Bilbao wine, since the Protos Crianza featured in the wine list is not available. Everything costs 30 euros per person. My final impression is very positive, especially after confirming the excellent value for money the restaurant offers. I can only reproach the restaurant for not having the wine I wanted to order.

Takenori Mito Daruma
8 / 10 Review
Takenori Mito Daruma

Authentic Japanese unpretentious

Daruma opened in 2013 and gradually has been getting a place among the good Japanese Barcleona. Located on the street Villarroel, between London and Paris, is a restaurant which I highly recommend! You have two excocineros of Yashima, and Kibuka. Myth Takenori Daruma has a Teppanyaki (with an iron bar around where they cook in front of you) very cool where you can order a la carte or tasting menu. Daruma decoration is quite simple, without much grace and detail but not bad. The place is clean, new and quite large. The variety and quality of food are super good. I recommend you to try varied Makis, Nigiris and Sashimi and tataki tuna: We bueníiiiiisimos. The butterfish: a "must". Sake also clams, Scallop Nigiri and rice with seafood! The value is great! You can eat for 25 €, or dinner with wine for 30-35 €. The tasting menu costs 45 € teppanyaki Oh, have lunch menu for less than 15 €.

Els 3 Porquets

Five years ago, the sons of the owners of the emblematic Can Pineda opened a restaurant specialized in ‘platillos’ (small plates or half portions) known for the quality of the products they use. Cousins Marc and Xavi bet on the best local produce to offer an interesting seasonal cuisine that aims to be suitable for more pockets than what their parents offer only 500 meters away. Even though we have a reservation they make us wait about 20 minutes to sit down, but the truth is that the service is, from the first moment, fast and efficient. Only two waiters -with the help of the cook whom we see out of the kitchen explaining some of the dishes to the clients- in the restaurant that, in spite of being not too big, is almost full. The space reminds of a tavern and a bistro, boasting a totally informal, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It is well lit and decorated with old bottles everywhere. The tables, high and low, lined with boxes of wine bottles, are occupied by families with teenagers, tourists aged over 30-40, middle-aged couples... As today is Saturday, there are no daily specials, so we focus on the a la carte options, written on a large board and divided into 5 groups -to starters, the traditional ones, from the earth to the plate, casseroles and Mediterranean sea-, each of them with 8-10 dishes. On the other hand, the wine list is presented on an IPad, 25 pages and over 500 labels. Besides, 11 wines to order by the glass. Of the 3 wines we are recommended, we choose the Santa Cruz Artazu 2009, 100% Grenache (36.50€). To start we are brought some coca bread with tomato (4.50€ the portion) and soon we can taste our choice of dishes, which reach the table one after another with no wait (the dirty dishes are cleared once). The Porquets croquettes (6€, 4 units) come with an original presentation. A spicy touch, with chorizo. Good. The artichoke carpaccio with ham (7.50€) seems to all of us very correct. The artichokes are cut in thin slices, the ham is excellent ham, good pepper point, perhaps too much oil. The Delta razor clams (15.50€) are outstanding, cooked to the right point. Big mistake with the sautéed baby squid with green beans (on the house): there is sand. The eggs (or rather the egg) from Calaf with ham and homemade potato chips (11.50€) are very good. Fine both potatoes and ham, but there’s just too little ham. Roger’s duck magret cannelloni with foie cream (14€) reach the table a bit cold. The texture is good but the sauce is nothing special, the foie doesn’t show off. The duck meat is tasty but is cut too thin. Can Pineda’s mini packets of cabbage and meat with green pepper (10€) are fantastic in texture, flavour and pepper quantity. Another mistake here with the alambre (12€). Strips of beef with red pepper, zucchini, onion, tomato and melted cheese with a spicy touch: too salty. We tell so to the waiter but he apologises saying the dish is supposed to be like that. We are not pleased with the explanation... Of the five desserts available we choose two. The chocolate bombs (2.50€ each) are very good, filled hot black chocolate, with the cocoa flavour wrapping the crunchy pastry. The torrija or French toast (6€) is a bit cold, but with good taste and burnt sugar on top. We finish with a top quality poleo menta infusion (2.50€) and a shot of Glenros whiskey (4.50€). The experience has been a bit bipolar. On the one hand, the general impression of the food is positive, but still prices seem too high given the size of portions (the bill is finally about 50€ per person) so the restaurant is, in our humble opinion, suitable for foodies who don’t mind paying too much for the best products.
