101 Dim Sum Barcelona

A Delicious Detour in Barcelona

"Whether it's the perfectly steamed buns or the intricately folded dumplings, you can taste the care and expertise in each dish."

When in Barcelona, diving into local flavors is a must. But sometimes, you crave a familiar taste, something comforting yet exciting, that's where 101 Dim Sum comes into play.

101 Dim Sum offers an intimate menu of around twenty dishes, each promising a delightful experience. The best part? The prices are just as appealing as the food. This place is a testament to the beauty of homemade cooking, a rare find in a city bustling with tourist traps.

The first thing that grabs your attention is the large window showcasing the cooks at work. Stepping inside, you're greeted by an atmosphere that's both warm and inviting. It's not just the aroma of dumplings and buns that makes you feel at home, it's the genuinely friendly staff, always ready to recommend their favorites.

Every bite at 101 Dim Sum tells a story of tradition and craftsmanship. Whether it's the perfectly steamed buns or the intricately folded dumplings, you can taste the care and expertise in each dish. And for those who find themselves smitten with this culinary gem, there's good news: they have a sibling restaurant in Casteldefels, just a short trip from Barcelona.

So, when you're in Barcelona and the cravings for something a bit more familiar kick in, remember 101 Dim Sum. A must-visit for anyone looking to switch up their culinary journey without losing the essence of exploration.
