Modern European Cuisine In Enkel, The Restaurant For Lovers of World Gastronomy

Located in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, do not be fooled by its tourist location, because in Enkel its main value is to maintain an honest kitchen and respect the quality-price of its dishes. Chef Gustavo, along with Francis and Fabio, are in charge of ensuring that all the dishes that come out of the kitchen have their approval, “we are not going to serve anything that we have not tried and loved ourselves first,” says Francis.

Enkel, which means grandson in German, is the descendant of his grandmother Oma Bistró, who also lives in Barcelona. Hence his name and his logo, a symbol that recalls the appearance of a child. After experience with a restaurant in Venezuela and having experimented with coffee in London, more than a year ago they decided to move to Barcelona to start a new project of modern European cuisine.

Contemporary food mixes dishes from Latin America and America to the Mediterranean, the East or even Asia. It offers varied cuisine that plays with the dishes and mixes cultures in the same place; So if you want to explore the gastronomy of the world, Enkel is your place. The grilled octopus, marinated in a spicy Peruvian sauce and with a layer of roasted potatoes and smoked tiger milk, is their specialty. The Shakshuka eggs with a sofrito, Greek yogurt, avocado and accompanied with a bit of bread, is one of his most amazing dishes.
