Mikan
Japanese-Mediterranean · Eixample, Barcelona · €€€
Chef Tan knows what's good and fun, and it shows in every dish at this charming Japanese-Mediterranean spot in the Eixample.
The Delekta Review
Mikan in the Eixample is chef Tan's personal project — Japanese-Mediterranean cooking with genuine knowledge of both traditions, delivered in a space small enough that the cooking feels directly addressed to your table rather than broadcast to the room. The menu blends Japanese technique with Mediterranean ingredients: an omakase option showcases the chef's range, while the à la carte allows exploration at your own pace. Neither approach feels like a fusion cliché — Tan understands why the two traditions can speak to each other, and the dishes reflect that understanding rather than just assuming it. The neighborhood feel belies the ambition in the kitchen. Prices are moderate for the level of cooking. The kind of chef-driven restaurant where the person preparing your dinner genuinely cares whether you enjoy it, which is rarer than it should be.
