If you’re in Barcelona and craving an authentic taste of Venice, Xemei is the place to be! 🦁✨ Xemei is called after the twins that run this Venetian-style restaurant, which naturally brings Italy’s most romantic city to life with every dish. Think soft lighting, and a classy ambience that is able to feel both intimate and welcoming.
For starters, savour their Surtido de Pescado Venexiano (Venetian assortment of seafood), their Sepietas a la Plancha con Polenta (grilled squid with polenta), or their Alcachofas del Prat Confitadas (Confit artichokes from El Prat de Llobregat). 🦑🐟
But the star of the show has to be their Spaghetti al Nero di Sepia (squid ink spaghetti) – rich, creamy, and as black as a Venetian gondola at night. 🌚✨
Or again, the Bigoli en Salsa Venexiana de Cebolla Dulce y Anchoas (bigoli with anchovies and caramelised onions) – I really can’t pick one! 🍝
Why not trying out their Hígado de Ternera a la Venexiana con Polenta (veal liver with onions), and see which one tastes best between this and the one of Bacaro Barcelona? 🤔
Trust me, this is one spot you’ll want to add to your Barcelona list! Whether you’re a local or a tourist, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again. 💫
