A Creative Fusion of Japanese and Mediterranean Flavours
Located in Barcelona’s Eixample district, Taberna Kamikaze is an unpretentious yet innovative dining space where Japanese tradition meets Mediterranean creativity. Founded by chefs Enric Buendia and Aristide Ribalta, who honed their craft at the three-Michelin-starred Disfrutar, the restaurant reflects their shared vision—blending Asian techniques with Catalan influences to create a fresh and unexpected culinary experience.
The menu takes inspiration from Japanese gastronomy, with a strong Mediterranean perspective woven into every dish. The robata grill plays a starring role, offering expertly charred skewers of seafood, meats, and seasonal vegetables, while delicate sashimi, tempura, and umami-rich broths are given a contemporary twist. Local ingredients shine through in surprising presentations, with nods to Catalan flavours that seamlessly complement the Asian foundation. Diners can explore the ever-evolving à la carte selection or immerse themselves in the Kamikaze tasting menu, available in two versions for a tailored experience.
With its laid-back atmosphere, open kitchen, and a drinks list featuring sake, Japanese whisky, and Mediterranean-inspired cocktails, Taberna Kamikaze is an exciting meeting point between East and West. Whether indulging in a multi-course tasting journey or sharing small plates over drinks, guests are invited to experience a bold and playful approach to fusion cuisine, where the unexpected takes centre stage.
