Dip them into the accompanying hoisin peanut sauce for an explosion of flavors.

Sip on refreshing fruit-infused iced teas, and tangy lemongrass ginger coolers, or indulge in a traditional Vietnamese dessert, such as sweet sticky rice with coconut milk and fresh tropical fruits.

To be honest I struggled the even give them two stars. There where many things I felt was wrong. I ordered the menu, with chicken rice and 4 entries. I felt like the only thing that was good was the beef roll at start and the mango salad maybe.

But I felt paying 15 for the menu was too much for the quality I got.

The main course was rice and the weekly curry. I tried to eat with sticks as you should, and as I usually do. But the curry was so light, pretty much half my food was still in the bowl after I took all I could with the sticks. At the end I had to ask for a spoon, since it felt wrong to leave half the food on the dish.

The place says fresh and healthy, but actually while eating I even saw the cook use the microwave to heat up some food. That's also a big no for me. You can always heat up food at the comfort of your own home for less then half the price. Why would I bother to go to a restaurant if they just heat up food in the microwave.

The last unfortunate thing was the coffee. Vietnamese drip coffee is one of my most favourite coffees in the world. I have been to a handful of Vietnamese resturants , and usually the taste is very close to chocolate I would say. In this restaurant the way they did it was correct, but I don't even think they used vietnamese coffee... The coffee was super runny and it felt like I was drinking sink water.

I hope they just had...

I came to La Vietnamita for the first time 4 years ago on my summer holidays. I came across ir by chance and gave it a go. I was so impressed by the quality of the food, the flavours and the team that I have been thinking about this restaurant ever since. So this summer i came back to Barcelona and went straight away. The experience was even better. The guys serving us were so cool, funny and friendly. The menu.... omg! I can't emphasise enough how GOOD it is. We tried the summer rolls (fresh mango, cucumber, avocado wrapped in rice paper with soya sauce), chicken and heura satay skewers with peanut satay sauce and bbq cauliflower. As main courses we chose the chicken and the Tofu curry. What a beautiful vegan curry full of flavours. Dessert was a typical vietnamese one: che chuoi, with tapioca pearls, coconut milk, bananas and berries. The menu is so appealing you would like to try it all. I am not exaggerating this restaurant will blow your mind away. It is with no doubt my favourite one...
