Barcelona Chinese Restaurant Dong Lin - One of the Best

Barcelona Chinese Restaurant "Dong Lin"
Address:
Av Paral-lel, 152 metroMetro: Poble Sec (Green Line, L3)

I love Chinese food. Ever since I arrived here I had been searching for a good Barcelona Chinese restaurant that served the kind of food that makes your mouth water and leaves you wanting to go back again and again. I tried many Chinese restaurants in Barcelona but many fell short of what I was looking for until one day I stumbled across a little gem of place called Chino Dong Lin.

It's often true to say the best restaurants are rather unassuming and not in the center of all the tourist traffic.

That is true of Dong Lin but the good news is this Barcelona Chinese restaurant is only a 10 mins metro ride from the center of town on the Metro (Green Line, L3) Poble Sec.

Another big advantage of this Barcelona Chinese restaurant are the prices. They are a fraction of those you would pay if you were to eat in the main tourist areas.

This article will give you an overview of Chino Dong Lin and one meal that I had there recently.

Address: Av Paral-lel, 152

(5 mins walk from metro) Note Poble Sec has 3 exists the one you want is Manso - the nearest exit to the restaurant.

The interior of the restaurant is in the traditional chinese style - simple and spacious with tables big enough to accommodate large groups ( greater than 12 people at one table)

The food

I started off with the traditional prawn crackers and decided to order the chinese beer (Cerveza China)- which was crisp, dry and refreshing.

I chose the sopa de wan tan as the first course which was delicious.

This consists of seaweed and pasta in a light seafood stock base.

Main course

for dessert (or postre, as it's known here in Spain) I went for deep fried bananas with honey - something I had never tried before and, since I have a sweet tooth, was very much to my tasting.

Cost The cost for the meal was as follows:

Prawn Crackers - on the house
Chinese bottled beer: 2.20 Euros
Sopa de Wan Tun: 2.65 Euros
Fried noodles with Shrimps: 4.50 Euros
Deep fried banana with honey: 2.50 Euros

Total cost for 3 course meal and bottle of beer 11.85 Euros

This, for me, was superb value considering the high quality of the food and service.

Summary

If you like good Chinese food you won't be disappointed by this little-known Barcelona Chinese restaurant. The food and service are first class - so much so I have dined there regularly since writing this review.

If you decide to go I recommend you write down the name and address of this place - otherwise you'll never find it when you go to Barcelona...and say hello to Lita!
