Peko Peko Ramen

An artisanal, very popular spot that opens at 6pm and makes its broth and noodles in house, with much-praised starters (glazed pork belly, gyoza). Service and waiting times divide opinion, and a minority find the ramen close to instant noodles.

• We had the Missô Tostado, Shio Tostado and Shoyu Chashu — the Shoyu Chashu was the tastiest of the three.

• The barriga melada starter and the Shio Tostado are spectacular.

• The ramen is very generously served, and on Saturdays there's the best one, the Tonkotsu.

• Don't miss the gyoza — it simply melts in your mouth.

• The seafood ramen was impeccable, flavorful and light, and the octopus and mushroom gyoza starters were sensational.

• The starters are the real highlight — the pork belly was impeccable, the breaded chicken perfect and the kimchi very tasty.

• Excellent restaurant — the ramens are delicious, comparable to the ones in Japan.

• You can tell the care and hard work in the kitchen, with the noodles and broth made completely from scratch.

• The atmosphere is cozy and beautiful, like a friend's house welcoming you in.

• I love Peko Peko's lamen, especially the vegan tonkotsu they always have on Valentine's Day, and the vegan gyoza is excellent.
