Topik Barcelona

Culinary Harmony in Barcelona

Cesar from Barcelona

<strong>About me</strong> I was born in Madrid, but I've lived here and there due to my job in the tech industry, having spent half my life traveling the world. Thanks to that, I've had the chance to meet people from all sorts of cultures and with diverse tastes. This sparked my curiosity to learn more about how people live in their own countries. Eventually, I left ...
"Topik blends Catalan cuisine with primarily Asian influences, offering traditional, slow-cooked dishes with intense flavors and perfect execution."

I must admit, I usually shy away from so-called 'fusion cuisine' restaurants that often mix various gastronomies without much rhyme or reason. However, Topik Restaurant in Barcelona is one of the few exceptions I know, as they blend Catalan cuisine with primarily Asian influences in a meaningful way.

And when I say 'meaningful,' I mean that Topik offers traditional, slow-cooked dishes with intense flavors and perfect execution. Unlike most fusion restaurants, Topik also excels in service and presentation. Beyond the exceptional food, their wine selection is outstanding, making it a complete dining experience.

Another aspect that makes Topik a 'rare bird' is its seasonal game dishes, which are increasingly hard to find. But Topik is not just about fusion; there are purely Mediterranean dishes with wonderful fish and seafood. Their paellas are also a standout, available in individual portions without the usual requirement to order for at least two people.

Topik is the ideal restaurant for a relaxed evening, offering high-quality cuisine with local flavors and international touches. The cozy atmosphere and knowledgeable staff ensure that every visit is a memorable one.

Ca La Roseta

The search is over

The first time I had a coffee at "Ca La Roseta", I told the owner 'this is the best coffee I've had in Barcelona'; he calmly replied: 'of course it is!'

Collonut

Tapas, vermut, vermut & vermut

Artisanal street gelato!

"Parallelo" gelato is my absolute favourite in Barcelona. Totally worth the 2.5-km walk there. My favorite is the cream-peanut-dulce de leche ice cream!
