Memorias De China — Restaurant in Barcelona

During my recent visit to Barcelona, I had the pleasure of dining at Memorias de China, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. If you’re searching for an authentic Chinese restaurant in the city, this is undoubtedly a top choice.

From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the warm and inviting ambiance. The restaurant exudes a sophisticated yet cozy atmosphere, perfect for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. The staff were incredibly patient, attentive, and welcoming, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience.

Now, let’s talk about the food—an absolute delight! The menu offers a fantastic selection of classic Chinese dishes, including Chinese fried rice, roast duck, fried noodles, and lobster, among many others. We even got to choose our lobster 😊. Each dish was packed with rich, authentic flavors, and the portions were right without compromising on quality.

One standout dish that deserves special mention is the Lobster with Salt and Pepper, an apparent favorite among guests, and for good reason. The lobster was cooked to perfection, boasting a delightful balance of crispiness and succulence, with the seasoning enhancing its natural sweetness. It was easily the star of the meal for me.

Though I was too eager to dig into my meal, I managed to snap a few pictures to capture my experience. I can confidently say that Memorias de China is a must-visit for anyone in Barcelona looking for high-quality, authentic Chinese cuisine. I will certainly be returning for another...

I would go back to this restaurant again. First of all, we only ordered dim sum and some select dishes. We did not try the set menu. The shrimp dumplings (ha gow) and siu mai were authentic and good. Fried calamari was excellent. The chinese eggplant was the best that I have had in Barcelona. My favorite cantonese comfort food, scrambled eggs and tomates, was sublime. Their vegetarian crispy fried noodles was on par with what I've had in San Francisco.

The interior of the restaurant is decorated impressively with Xi'an style terracotta warriors in their back outdoor seating. It is an elegent restaurant with many large round tables which is great for family gatherings.

Overall the service and place settings were very nice and upscale. The food quality and attention to detail also reflected this elevated level. I have this on my list of excellent Chinese restaurants for special occasions or large...

Gran decepció !!! Haureu vist que anteriorment la meva ressenya tenia una valoració molt bona per aquest restaurant. El considerava com un dels dos millors restaurants xinesos de Barcelona, hi anàvem sovint tota la família i sempre va ser genial. Només un cop vam tenir una petita incidència, però el fill de l’amo la va solucionar en dos minuts. Com que ja no hi vivim a prop, feia temps que no hi anàvem, però per celebrar el meu aniversari vam anar-hi tota la família amb molta il·lusió. Gran error. Per començar van perdre la nostra comanda (això no deixa de ser un accident, però) i van anar servint totes les taules de la sala i no es van adonar que no ens havien servit a nosaltres (després d’una hora) fins que ens vam queixar. Vam tornar a fer la comanda, però ara es van equivocar amb els segons (van agafar la comanda de nou). Malgrat que van demanar disculpes perquè tot era un error seu, no van donar prioritat a la nostra comanda, i veies com els mateixos plats que havies demanat, anaven a altres taules. La meva dona va especificar cada cop que el seu plat era únic, si podien tenir-ho en compte, i així i tot va ser l’últim plat a arribar. Davant la falta de professionalitat dels cambrers vam decidir no menjar postres, fer un cafè i marxar. Un cambrer, que no ens havia atès fins llavors, va insistir en convidar-nos a uns “xupitos”, al considerar-ho com una deferència pel que havia passat, i els vaig acceptar. Doncs encara els estem esperant. En definitiva un desastre, falta de professionalitat i ètica. Malaguanyat el moment en què vaig triar celebrar el meu aniversari aquí....
