About this spot
Ziryab Fusion Tapas Bar blends Arab heritage with Barcelona's Eixample energy, serving bold dishes like lamb tagine and spiced rice that defy generic tapas expectations. The menu highlights complex flavor profiles where cumin and saffron take center stage rather than the usual olive oil and garlic. This spot proves that fusion here isn't just a gimmick but a deep dive into North African culinary traditions reimagined for local tastes.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra harissa on your tagine to cut through the rich lamb fat.
- Order the mint tea early as it is served piping hot and perfect for cleansing the palate before heavy stews.
- Arrive before 9 PM in Eixample to avoid long waits, as locals flock here for dinner service.
