If you're dining alone, I highly recommend sitting at the bar where you can watch them cook the food live. I tried so many dishes and loved every single one of them! I also trusted the sommelier who kept serving me different glasses of wine, and I was in heaven. You should definitely check this spot out if you're visiting Barcelona!

Never having been in Barcelona, we asked the concierge at our hotel for a dinner recommendation…read more Zarautz was highly recommended, so we gave it a try. Wow, did not disappoint! While the restaurant does not look super fancy, it's got a pleasant atmosphere and a nice decor. We walked over around 6:15, which is early for dinner, even for us. The server explained that they had some tapas available, but the kitchen didn't open until 7. We said we'd be back and he booked us a table on the spot. (lucky us as they had a party of 16 locals and the remaining tables were booked except ours!) We wandered to another place for an outside glass of wine while we waited. At 7, we went back and explained Uncle D's shellfish allergy to Mark, our server and asked about recommendations for things we might try that would work for the allergy. He was so kind and advised against certain items that had shellfish or were cooked in the same oil as shellfish. Bless him! We shared the tapas of a pulled pork sandwich, (in a small bun), and a cheese plate with cubes of cheese in olive oil with black salt flakes, and finished with sharing a main course of oxtail, which we were told takes 32 hours to make! All were delicious and we were thrilled we had gone there. The second and final night in Barcelona we were tired, didn't want to have to figure out where to go that might not be too close and decided to go back. This time we booked a table about 45 minutes before we wanted to be there. Lucky there was a table for 2! When we walked in, we were recognized and greeted like family! Mark even remembered our names, shellfish allergy and the wine we had enjoyed the night before which we wanted again. We ordered the same cheese tapas as it was so delicious, along with the chorizo casserole in apple cider, with a main course of the sirloin steak with potatoes and padron peppers. The steak dish was brought out before the chorizo dish accidentally. We opted at that point to have the chorizo dish after. Steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, potatoes crispy outside and soft inside and the padron peppers tasty but mild. Again, absolutely delicious! By the time we were halfway through the steak dish, we knew we had no room in our tummies for the chorizo dish. We asked if it was possible to cancel the chorizo dish, but if they had already started cooking it then it would be ok. Mark was gracious and canceled it for us. At the end of the meal, Mark brought us a glass of a local liqueur that was wonderful. The food, the service, the atmosphere... and both nights local folks enjoying along with tourists, all fabulous. All that to say... if you have the chance to go to this wonderful restaurant, do it!

I recommend making a reservation if you can, but I'm sure they allow walk-ins. The gentleman that served us was kinda and patient. He walked us through some of his recommendations. Their menu is scanned through a QR code with videos and pictures of all the paellas you can order. As our first time, we went with the classic 'The one from the beach bar' with shrimp, crayfish, and squid. The minimum order is for 2 people, so it was 50€. This was absolutely delicious, and very flavorful. This paella left a very good impression on us, and had us wondering if we could have paella this good back in the States. Perhaps we were hungry... perhaps us, Texans, just eat a lot. We decided to order a second one 'The Clumsy One' with duck magret and mushrooms. Since we had already 2 portions from the last the paella, the kindly allowed us to order 1 portion for this paella, 28.50€. When in Barcelona, you have to eat duck. It's just so good here. Duck was cooked perfectly. I think I might've liked this one better than 'The one from the beach bar.' Just a tip to actually order this one first because it does take a while to cook! Worth the wait, in my opinion! While waiting, we ordered a couple drinks. If you like sweet, you'll love the Valencia Libre - pretty much a spiked horchata. I highly recommend the clover club! Such a cute girly drink :)
