Mantis
Catalan Fusion · Eixample, Barcelona · €€€
High-energy spot where Catalan dishes are infused with flavours from around the globe.
The Delekta Review
Mantis in the Eixample is a high-energy room where Catalan plates get deliberately infused with flavors from much further afield — Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern accents that feel intentional rather than drive-by. The cooking moves with genuine confidence between traditions, which is the trick that most fusion kitchens never quite master. Small plates encourage sharing and exploration. The atmosphere is lively, the crowd skews young and food-curious, and the natural wine list is a strength rather than a gesture. Prices are moderate for what's on the plate. The best moments here happen when a dish that shouldn't work — a Catalan base with an unlikely topping — lands exactly because the chef actually understands both traditions being asked to shake hands.
