Open since 2024

Chunlin Yu's Catalan-Chinese neo-bistro in Eixample since 2024 (formerly Gingko) — Hofmann/Gresca/Lluerna pedigree, short sharing menu. Creamy tendons with cod cheeks and chanterelles is the dish people travel for; under €50 per person.

The Delekta Review

Chef Chunlin Yu — 27, from Manchuria, 14 years in Barcelona; trained at Hofmann (later taught there), Gresca, Lluerna, La Terraza del Casino Sous chef Jesse van Buuren (Dutch); front of house Guillem Capmany Opened October 2024 as 'Gingko'; rebranded to 'Ginnan' after a name conflict with a Madrid restaurant — both names refer to the ginkgo tree

Catalan-Chinese neo-bistro: short menu, sharing plates, charcoal-grill technique Tuesday–Saturday only; lunch and dinner service

Creamy tendons with cod cheeks and chanterelles — the headline dish Crispy pig's ear with pickled cucumber and five-spice Smoked pea flan with crispy ham and mint Chinese aubergine prepared bravas-style with hot-and-sour glaze Lamb cap i pota wonton in vinegar broth Char-grilled mackerel with vinaigrette Osmanthus ice cream with fermented rice foam Glutinous rice roll with praline and tropical fruits

Long, narrow Eixample room — small, low-lit, deliberately unphotogenic Neo-bistro register: short menu, shared plates, no theatrical presentation

Hours: Tuesday–Saturday 13:00–15:30 and 20:00–22:30 Average bill €35–45 per person; under €50 with the full small-feast
