At that time, there were very few Korean restaurants in Barcelona. But nowadays, they're pretty common. So I'm trying them all . As part of that quest, a few weeks ago, I met for lunch with a couple of friends at Shingané. Shingané offers a lunch special for €12.5, which is a pretty standard price for lunch specials in Barcelona. What's less standard is the quantity of food you get for that price: a big first course, a huge main course and a dessert (or a coffee). To be honest, it's not even worth ordering the whole menu because you eat more than enough with a bibimbap which onlys costs €8.5. Plus the desserts included in the menu are not Korean desserts...

The only thing is the dishes that supposed to be spicy hot are not spicy hot other than that it’s perfect.
