Can Kenji

The chef of this understated little izakaya (Japanese tavern), on the southeastern fringes of Gràcia, gets his ingredients fresh from the city's markets, with traditional Japanese recipes receiving a Mediterranean touch. Choices include udon noodles sautéed with squid and clams, or tuna tataki (lightly grilled meat) with salmorejo (Córdoba-style cold-tomato soup), plus various lunch-menu deals.
