Last Monkey — Restaurant in Barcelona

Great service and very nice location.

Unfortunately its one of those places where the food looks more impressive on the menu than it tastes.

The bikinimchi were a nice idea but quite average execution with brioche and cheddar alongside quite small amount of kimchi that you dont taste much. Signature eggplant is below average with clearly a packaged sweet chilli sauce used. Similar story with the leeks - quite odd texture and average sauce. The avocado tartare was good - exactly what one might expect: chopped avocados with spices.

I was very excited about the butter chicken brioche but unfortunately it was just pulled chicken between a brioche hot dog bun. It tastes great but does not remind one of butter chicken nor really fulfills a brioche fantasy one might get thinking about this dish. The bao buns also sounded great on the menu and their egg yolk execution was great but they were extremely dry and did not at all live up to the hype.

Their cocktails also sound good but both the vermouth with lychee and lucheetini were far too sweet for me.

Their interior has nice touches but could use more work to meet the design aesthetic they have going, whereas the food needs some work to meet the expectations...

I had the pleasure of dining here for lunch today and I absolutely loved it! The decor is beautiful and minimal - attention to detail is in everything from furniture to food.

It's tapas style Asian food which is absolutely delicious. I tried the meatballs, pulled pork, eggplant, vermicelli salad, and the squid with rice and ink and coconut as well as spicy edamame. Every dish was great and made with love. All dishes also had unique subtle flavors and were not over powering but were warm and inviting. All sauces tasted home made and perfectly mixed (good amount of spices).

This is a special little restaurant and I'm so happy it opened in Sant Antoni! Also - the staff and waiters and chef were all so nice! It was such a pleasure to eat here.

Will return many times! Highly recommend this over the other Asian options in the area as the food is QUALITY.

Also I recommend about 3-4 dishes per person.

Recommended plates: eggplant, costilla, squid ink rice, gyoza soup (spicy but good), and pulled pork wontons are my favorite. Add a side of rice to soak up all the great flavors.

Thanks for a...

👎🏽We all tried the 8 course tasting menu although one of us wanted to order from the tapas menu so it's a strange rule that tasting menu is only served at tables that all have to order it, that's a bit unfair especially if you're vegetarian.

🆗The food is tasty and well presented but many tapas served were too salty. The cuisine is Asian inspired with some spicey dishes although some dishes like pulled pork or pork cheek are pretty mainstream. The hot tapas were served hot although the rice was too dry. The beer was fresh. The deserts are good. The dinning area is well decorated and light and airy. They have a nice streetside terrace for outdoor dinning.

5*🔝The Best is Mateus (Mathew) who attended us and explained each dish. Fantastic, friendly service that made our experience so much better.

❓There was not much atmosphere on Sunday at 2pm ish. Only a few dinners during our stay. Although people prefer tapas at night for July it should be busier.

👍🏽They are Covid-19 compliant. 👎🏽They are not...
