Suguru is the kind of neighborhood sushi spot that Gràcia does best — unassuming from the outside, seriously impressive on the plate. Four friends started it with a simple mission: bring high-quality Japanese cuisine to a casual barrio setting, and the itamae behind the counter delivers. Fresh fish, careful preparation, and a 4.7 rating from over a thousand reviewers confirm they're doing something right on Carrer de Verdi.
Four friends, one skilled itamae, and seriously fresh sushi on Gràcia's most charming street — over a thousand 4.7-star reviews can't be wrong.
Reserve ahead on weekends — Gràcia locals have made this their go-to sushi spot and the small space fills up fast.
The neighborhood sushi spot Gràcia was missing
Tucked on Carrer de Verdi in the heart of Gràcia, Suguru is the sushi spot locals actually go to — not the place chasing tourists with picture menus. Four friends started it with the idea of bringing high-quality Japanese food to a neighborhood restaurant, and that's exactly what you get: fresh, carefully prepared fish without the downtown price tag or attitude.
The sushi is the star here. Reviewers consistently praise the quality of the fish and the care that goes into each plate — "produits frais et travaillés d'une grande qualité" as one French reviewer put it, and that about sums it up. The uramaki rolls get particular love, and the itamae clearly knows what he's doing. It's not a massive menu, but everything that comes out is done right.
The vibe is intimate and unpretentious — a small space on one of Gràcia's most charming streets, perfect for a casual dinner or a date night where you want the food to do the talking. Service is friendly, the space is cozy, and you'll leave understanding why over a thousand reviewers have given it a 4.7. Reserve ahead, especially on weekends — Gràcia locals have made this their go-to.
