Mixed feelings - Edit
I tried pad thai, which was very good, and protein bao, which was a little disappointing. I would say it was quite expensive for what you get. The chocolate cake with cherry and ginger, however, was absolutely amazing and worth any money.

Delicious - Edit
Superb food. I had the oishi broccoli to start and the tempeh and mushroom for main, with a glass of rose and hibiscus tonic. Nuanced and rich tastes. The kind of food to really savour. Lovely restaurant. Feels very fresh and stylish. Helpful team. 🩷
Read moreUpdate: went back with two friends - a veggie and a non-vegan/veggie. They loved it! Had the amazing broccoli again, some sushi, and the pad thai, which was exceptional! We also shared dessert - the cheesecake, snickers and chocolate cake. Lord have mercy! So good! And it was lovely to meet the owner, Marco, who is the definition of excellent hospitality. My favourite in Barcelona.

very special food… - Edit
you won’t get everywhere!
Read moreWe had some “foie gras”-sushi rolls, broccoli with oishi-sauce, tempeh with a creamy mushroom sauce and patatas bravas with kimchi and aioli.
Everything tasted very extraordinary, interesting - in a good way!
They offer really special food, very aromatic and combining different cuisines.
The service was very friendly too and spoke many languages.
We highly recommend the spot, although it was pricey! It was even pricier than the menu told us, maybe I missed some note on the menu, but everything was around 2€s more, which was expensive especially for the size of the tempeh, a main dish for around 20€. It definitely was too small for the price.
As everything was delicious and the staff friendly, I give 5 stars.
Pros: very special taste , friendly staff
Cons: pricey , waiting time between courses

If you had your meal outdoors, they charge 10% extra! That's probably why it was more expensive than the menu stated. There's a 10% terrace supplement, I see 💸

Nice but nothing to special - Edit
Recommending a lot to get the Ramen if you go there; this was the dish we liked the most and it was very unique. The rest was very good but nothing to special.

We got the tikka masala bao to share. My friend got the kiss me ramen and I got the rock and roll sushi roll. All were fantastic. Probably the best vegan sushi I’ve ever had. Would absolutely go again.

delicious sushi - Edit
We ordered various sushi rolls and Pad Sa Thai. They were all very tasty, but the foie gras rolls were our favourite. The only problem for us was the service: we ordered via UberEats, half of the order was not delivered and we were told to place a second order with the missing items (refund for the duplicate items will follow), but we are still stuck with our costs to this day.

Ramen vegano con un caldo cremoso muy rico. Tiene una carta con variedad de comida asiática tanto como para picar y compartir como principales. El local además es muy agradable.

Rounding up to 5 stars - Edit
Desoriente has the coolest “night out” vibe of the restaurants I visited in Barcelona and the appetizer and dessert I tried were fantastic.
Read moreI thought the entrees (the foie gras roll and the pad Thai) could be more flavorful but overall it’s worth visiting. Reservations recommended for this restaurant.

Cons: Some entrees lacking a little flavor

Tasty, - Edit
We had a few tapas dishes, main courses, desserts and coctails. Everything was very tasty and well presented. It was fascinating to learn how the dishes had been made. Nice place, nice ambiance, and friendly and attentive staff. If there was something we missed was a few more fresh ingredients incorporated into the dishes.

Great food - Edit
We had lunch there, nice place and service, and the food is very good. We would like to highlight the aran-xino (delicious "croquetes") and the mumbai's ravioli (great combination of flavors of the sauce, the lentils, and the raviolis with ricotta filling!). The only con in our case would be that the dishes were not very hot when they are served, in our case the tempeh was somewhat cold, I am sure it would have tasted better if it had been hotter.
