Desoriente
About
Desoriente is a plant‑based Japanese‑fusion restaurant that brings the flavors and aromas of iconic global landmarks to the heart of Barcelona. Taking inspiration from the Taj Mahal, Mount Fuji, and the beaches of Thailand, the menu offers a creative blend of Asian cuisine made entirely from high‑quality, responsibly sourced vegetables and tofu. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to provide a luxurious, vegan dining experience that mirrors the elegance of its international muse. The menu is divided into a starter, main and dessert course, with a new and elaborate “full menu” option that tops €18.90 (Starter + Main + Dessert + Water). Popular dishes include the Crispy Futomaki filled with cream cheese and hazelnuts, the Lentil dahl with yogurt and cilantro sauce, and the KISS ME Ramen that pairs homemade ramen with coconut‑based dashi. The bar features a diverse cocktail selection and a range of Asian teas and kombucha, all crafted with the same commitment to flavor and sustainability. Desoriente prides itself on a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. Two locations—Poblenou and Eixample—offer outdoor terrace dining with a 10 % supplement for terrace seating, and a highly responsive online reservation system that allows guests to book a table directly through the restaurant’s website. With its focus on creativity, sustainability, and world‑inspired ingredients, Desoriente appeals to adventurous diners and vegan food enthusiasts alike.
