I was in Barcelona for a week, and despite being absolutely in love with the Spanish and Catalan…read morecuisine, I wanted to switch it up for one meal. I was out walking near my hotel and passed this place up, and decided to give it a shot. TBH, what drew me in was the "Kyoto" in the name of the restaurant because I went to Kyoto a year ago and had the time of my life, lol. Upon walking in I was immediately greeted by the chef and staff, and was impressed and in love with the Japanese-style decor! On to the food! Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. I thought this food was either going to be a let down, or pretty dang good. Luckily, it was pretty dang good! I started off with some gyoza, which was both flavorful and texturally pleasing! My main course was pork miso with egg over rice. Man, it was really, really good! Super super tasty and reminiscent of the food I had in Japan! I then washed the meal down with some Kirin, which was probably my favorite beer I had while in Japan. The service here was great as well, and I definitely recommend this place if you're in Barcelona and are craving an authentic taste of Japan!

It's about a 6 minute taxi ride from there. We were seated in the back room with the writing covering the walls. The front bar seemed a little livelier but we took what was offered. Husband had house red wine (3.50 euros) and I had sangria (4.50 euros). Good pours for both. We started with the red shrimp (gambillos) in a lemongrass sauce, about 6 shrimp for 15 euros. Then grilled octopus (which was very tender) over mash potatos and snap peas for 15 euros. We also had a side of grilled bread (4 pieces) for 3.5. We also ordered the Pepita beef with mash potato but took home for dinner as we were full (18 euros). We finished with the homemade corn ice cream with carmelized popcorn and raspberries, which was very unique at 6.5. We added our names to the wall to top off the meal. Service was quick and friendly. Total bill was 85 euros including 5 drinks. It was our best meal in Barcelona so far.

Although I don't have allergies I have many friends who do and find it hard to dine out while still enjoying something authentic. Gut was perfect on our trip because everything felt healthy and refreshing but also unique and exciting which was exactly what we were looking for! We split the felafel, chicken curry, and beef dish and everything was incredible. Felafel was probably my favorite though! They had really good wine, Aperol spritz, and we split the brownie with ice cream. I loved everything. And I can't say enough good things about the service. Our servers were so kind to us and helpful and it made the whole experience so enjoyable. The restaurant is small but feels elevated and local in a non-touristy area.

Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!!

The feta cheese was absolutely disgusting, it tasted like imitation rubber cheese. - The "Al Ajillo" Style Shrimps (GAMBES AMB ALLADA) had a very strange flavor within it, which overwhelmed the garlic flavors. - The Beef Tenderloin (FILET VEDELLA), she had to spit 1/4 of it out because it was too tough. - Everything was overpriced there for the value.

I've been here probably 5-10 times, always for a menu del día (lunch set menu). Its always been a…read morehit or miss depending on what I ordered. Everything has always been flavorful but, as is the case with most Asian places in Europe, never lives up to Thai places I love back in the US (DC area, Tampa area). Positives: Great value and portions for lunch. Located in a nice bustling square with pleasant terrace seating year round. Interior is nicely decorated. Lunch offerings are constantly changing. One of the few Thai places in Barcelona that offer papaya salad. Personally, I loved their Tod Man Muu (crispy pork fritters), Tohm Kha (coconut milk soup), Nemcuon (fresh summer rolls), and their Panang curry. Keep in mind that honestly nothing is spicy, but you can always request extra chili to add on the side. Negatives: Have had dishes come out cold/lukewarm a few times. They don't seem to understand timing of dishes. Dishes have often come out one by one with even 10 minutes in between. This is very awkward when you're in a group. Yes their kitchen is small, but seriously for a restaurant as successful as Banna this should not be happening. Nothing is spicy- but you can always add spice yourself. Ah overall I enjoy my meals here. Sometimes my food is amazing, sometimes it's disappointing. It's a very popular pick for the locals.
