Xemei

Xemei brings Venetian cooking to Barcelona, and reviewers describe it as among the best Italian experiences they've had in the city, crediting both the quality of the food and the originality of the space itself. The ossobuco ragu draws particular praise, alongside vitello tonnato and a notably aromatic olive oil used throughout the menu. At 4.4 stars across roughly 2,300 reviews and an expensive price point with required booking, it's positioned as a deliberate dinner destination rather than a casual stop. Its above-average trendy and aesthetic scores fit a restaurant that feels distinctive within Barcelona's broader Italian dining scene.
