Javier Navarro is a Catalan architect that, until recently, lived and taught in New Orleans. The Vietnamese Thang Pham was one of his students. Both met again by chance in Barcelona, and that’s how they opened Me, a restaurant that specializes, as the sign on the door says, in the gastronomy from Saigon, New Orleans and Barcelona.
The restaurant is a modern and cosmopolitan space, with soft lighting and an intimate atmosphere and cosy decor, perfect for couple dinners and friends meetings.
At lunch time, the restaurant offers a very complete set menu, while at night, the menu is full of traditional Vietnamese dishes, as well as Creole specialities from New Orleans and a touch of Catalan cuisine that suits perfectly the rest of the offer.
In Louisiana, an encounter between a Vietnamese student in architecture Thang Pham and its professor Javier Navarro Alemany and years later the idea to open together this restaurant “Me” in Barcelona. An absolutely charming restaurant with a surrealistic decoration, a former professor who addresses as "tu" to take the order and a chart very fusion between Catalonia, Vietnam and Louisiana.
Green papaya salad with beef jerky, grilled calamari saigon style ginger sauce, Saigon rib steak with the lemongrass, lamb carpaccio & green apple & ginger relish , new orleans crawfish turnovers & tomato & tartar sauce, Merou a la vapor in sheets of banana, Burbot with nori and boletus. It is of a great freshness and very merry. One adores!!
