Open since 2022
A 2022 Poble Sec merger of Rías de Galicia (30+ years of Galician seafood) and Espai Kru (avant-garde Japanese), led by chef Rafa Erbs. Tasting menus at €125 and €160 from a 3,500-litre live tank and an 800-bottle cellar.
The Delekta Review
Galician marisquería at the front, avant-garde Japanese at the back — the menu lives between the two, anchored by a 3,500-liter live shellfish tank. Two tasting menus: RíasKRU (€125) and Mariscada (€160); average around €90 à la carte.
The Iglesias brothers built it in 2022 by merging two of their existing restaurants: Rías de Galicia (decades of Galician seafood) and Espai Kru (Japanese avant-garde). Chef Rafa Erbs comes via Azurmendi, Pakta, Enigma, Dos Palillos, and Moments. Dining-room directors Francisco 'Paco' Gómez and Rachid Adriouech; sommelier Eric Saladie runs the 800-reference cellar.
Carpaccio of aged Galician beef with payoyo cheese and Australian black truffle; navaja Kru with a delicate quail escabeche; kokotxas a la brasa in green sauce. Croqueta de gamba y centolla; nigiri and sashimi with ponzu; wild fried turbot; chocolate en texturas; mascarpone flan to close.
400 m² for 70 guests, near Av. del Paral·lel and Montjuïc; the 3,500-liter shellfish tank is the visual centerpiece.
Carrer de Lleida 7, Poble Sec; reservations via the website.
