The 25 Best Restaurants In Barcelona - Barcelona - The Infatuation

"Akiro is a triple threat: great food, cool, minimalist design, and flawless service. It calls itself a Nikkei handroll bar, but it also holds its own as a sushi-ya, or sushi counter restaurant. Top Nikkei choices include the ebi furai, or tempura-battered shrimp and chili-garlic mayo, or the acevichado filled with chunks of tender seabass in spicy ají amarillo vinegar. But if you’re a strict Japanese purist, the buttery-smooth toro sashimi and the seared tuna nigiri would hold their own in Tokyo." - isabelle kliger

It’s been months since we went to Akiro, but I still haven’t forgotten the spectacular experience we had. They seated us at the bar, and although it might seem a bit uncomfortable at first, I highly recommend it. Watching them prepare the food right in front of you and getting to eat it immediately is incredible. And if you’re as lucky as we were, the chef will explain each piece—the ingredients, how it’s made, how to eat it, etc.—to make the experience truly exceptional. I highly recommend starting with the prawn tempura, and definitely try their hand rolls — they’re unique! And you can’t go wrong with any nigiri you order from their menu. You can really tell the ingredients are top quality, and the service is a 10 out of 10. I had never tried cuisine that combines traditional Japanese dishes with a touch of Peru. We just couldn’t stop ordering! It’s the perfect place to celebrate special moments.

Everything about this place made our wait 100% worth it! The atmosphere, the service and of course, the sushi. Our chef, Paola, was amazingly skilled and very personable. She shared with us what each piece was that she was placing on our board and how to enjoy it. When I say you will not be disappointed by the freshness and flavor of the dishes being served, I mean it. Each piece is uniquely curated with ingredients that are unexpected yet blend so well together with the fish: from fois gras to truffle pate to chocolate - yes chocolate!! Each bite was heavenly! The cocktails were also amazing and paired well with the dishes that we had! If you're looking for sushi while in Barcelona, this is the place to go!

Worth the Wait for Delicious Nikkei Hand Rolls 🍣🔥 Absolutely loved our experience at Akiro Hand Roll Bar! This cozy, stylish spot serves up Nikkei-style hand rolls with amazing flavour and a warm, welcoming vibe. They don’t take reservations, so make sure to arrive early—I waited around 45 minutes, but it was well worth it. I ordered 5 hand rolls, plus the crab hand roll and a gunkan anchovy—every single bite was delicious! The service was excellent—from the receptionist to the servers and the chef, everyone was friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back again for another round. Highly recommended for sushi lovers in Barcelona! 🍣✨

Honestly the best sushi I’ve ever had. Yana was our chef, and each dish was immaculately prepared. Everything was great, but my 3 favorites were all nigiri, the squid with miso butter was #1, salmon premium was #2, and #3 the toro premium (not on the menu, you have to ask for it) Second time there, can’t wait for the 3rd.

Great hand rolls!!!! Toro is a must!! Thank you Pablo!! The sake sour passion fruit was unique too and the chocolate miso brownie was good but should be shared.

I went with super high expectations and they were more than exceeded. Phenomenal service and the food is out of this world. Yana, our chef, was so attentive and explained everything to us and it was some of the best food I’ve ever had. My favourite bite of the night was the scallop nigiri, EXQUISITE!! 10/10 recommend and huge thank you to Yana!

Akiro has a great atmosphere and excellent service. However, despite what the name suggests, the hand rolls were actually the weakest part of the menu. The sashimi quality is very reasonable for Spain, especially for the price, and the nigiri captures the fusion style the restaurant aims to deliver. Overall, it was a nice dinner. I’d return, but I wouldn’t order the hand rolls again.

The ambiance and service at Akiro were absolutely excellent, creating a refined yet welcoming dining experience. The food was overall very delicious and beautifully presented. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but the quality of ingredients and attention to detail stand out. If I could suggest a couple of small adjustments: the chocolate pairing with eel didn’t really work for me, and the background music could be just a touch lower to make the atmosphere even more comfortable.
