A Barcelona sushi restaurant says two customers allegedly left without paying after ordering food, posting a public message about the incident. The eatery describes the diners as going out “for a cigarette” and not returning.

Several outlets report that the restaurant’s statement is direct and focuses on the impact on staff, saying they feel “helpless” following what it describes as a dine-and-dash. The Irish Mirror and other listings also note that the business is making a public appeal for the pair to come forward and resolve the matter.

While the wording in coverage differs—ranging from “went for a cigarette and left” to “left for a cigarette and never returned”—all accounts attribute the restaurant’s message to the same alleged sequence of events and present it as the restaurant’s explanation rather than a confirmed finding by authorities.
