Hawker 45

L'Eixample


Taking its cues from an Asian hawkers market, chef Laila Bazahm's aromatic restaurant sizzles up Asian–Latin American street-food dishes such as spicy Malaysian squid laksa, Indonesian lamb satay, Indian tandoori carrots and Thai green veg curry with avocado. Dine at the long, red bar overlooking the open kitchen or in the postindustrial dining space with bare beams and wall murals.

The six-course tasting menu (€35) can be paired with craft beers (€42) or Asian-inspired cocktails (€60), and there's also a lunchtime menú del dia (€12 to €15).
