Food was meh. Prices were high. Service was mid. For my husband's 55th birthday dessert, they gave him a small pile of whipped cream. Only whipped cream ??? There has got to be better fine dining on the shore than this place. read more

Group of 7 friends out for a birthday lunch. The location is picturesque, great for impressing out of town visitors. Food is good, but very pricy. We all had an amazing lunch and kept the celebration going after. Special meal, for a special friend. Good times and great experience. read more

While in Barcelona, our driver called this restaurant for us and got us a 10:15 pm reservation. Our party included my husband, my two year old, and me. I wasn't sure what to except because there were a mix of 5-star as well as 1-star reviews, so it was hard to gauge what to expect. 1. Service was great. I was stressed out about eating dinner so late with a jet-lagged toddler at a restaurant where he seemed to be the only child. They brought him colored pencils and coloring pages. The staff spoke directly to him and engaged him. Thank you! 2. We ordered the seafood paella and tuna tartare to share. The food came out in about 15-20 minutes. The tuna tartare was fresh, seasoned well, and delicious. The paella was great! My two-year-old gobbled it up and kept asking for "more rice!!". I was worried it would be too fishy, but it wasn't. I'm not even that big of a seafood fan, but I ate/tasted everything. We got to sit near the kitchen area, and this was great for my son. He enjoyed watching the cooks. I was pleased with my experience. According to our driver, the restaurant patrons are a mix of tourists and locals. I'd recommend this restaurant to others. read more

Nothing was bad, just so bland. Nothing standout. It's a super busy popular restaurant with a lovely location, but everything lacked flavor and seasoning. I had a sole fish, which looked beautiful, but it looks like they cut open a fish and heated it and voila. Just boring. Tasty, well cooked, but nothing memorable. Even the veggies on the side tasted like they just came out of the oven from the freezer. Store bought. Nice ambiance. Amazing that the place does so well. read more

Found this place from a referral from a local photographer in Barcelona. It's a beautiful restaurant hidden in the corner next to the sea with a view of the sea (though the sea is virtually pitch black if you come at night albeit with nice fires at the balcony). Indeed, it felt as if we were the only non-Spanish speaking party at the restaurant. It was filled with local families and couples. The inside is absolutely gorgeous with an open view of the professional kitchen and staff running around. The service was excellent as well. As for the food, the seafood dishes are presented in a great way that brings out the natural flavors of the fish if that's what you like. Most of the dishes don't have much seasoning/salt, which we greatly enjoyed. The Galician-style octopus (Pulpo) was really unique and had a nice, fatty texture that reminded me of pork tongue/ear. As a referral for a great paella restaurant, Barceloneta unfortunately lost its 5-star for me because the paella was a minor letdown. While the rice and seafood were cooked well in texture, the flavor was overly salty contrary to the other dishes we had. It tasted like too much XO seafood sauce was poured into the rice which made it incredibly salty and masking of the natural seafood flavors (you can tell just by looking at the dish). Overall, I would come back for the seafood and beautiful interior of Barceloneta. While I wouldn't come here specifically for the paella, it was still enjoyable and a lot of the other seafood dishes were all memorably delicious. read more

A good food with terrible service, not even knowledge over the most basic drinks ( old fashioned) , service out of the protocolar order.. vast wine list.. poor fool bar... Now the food.. fish good, paella not too good, appetizer a decent experience.. but not great... the side order ( espárragos ) never came.. Any way, if you leave Barcelona not visiting this place you haven't lose anything.. by the way order the salt the humidity has every salt dispenser not working. By the way pricey for nothing exceptional.. maybe someone show to bring me the check read more

The interior of this spot is incredible, both design and architecture. Makes the space feel very elevated. Loved the mango spring rolls, very unique. I got the curry dish for entree. It was decent, could've used more spice and flavor. read more

In April 7th 2024 at 2:50pm I was sit together with my family and my bother's family (4 adults 4 kids). The first thing I will say is that the food it's ok but definitely not worth the price, it was 4:30pm and and still waiting for everyone's food when I told them that I had a place to be at 5:00pm the only thing they say was "the food is coming", when the food finally came it was 4:45pm and 10 minutes later I told them that we are still waiting on my wife's paella. At 5:00pm I couldn't wait no more and ask for the check which I was given in less than 10 seconds. The bill was 350 euro and my wife never got to eat her paella. Was in a rush and never put a formal complaint to the manager but glad that I'm doing it now. Only good thing was the drinks but 1 star anyway. read more

My husband and I come to Iceland at least once a year to see family. We've eaten at more restaurants than I can count. This was the worst food I have ever had in Iceland! We had a few starters which were mediocre, and then we got the seafood paella which was truly the worst I have ever had in my entire life! When the paella came out, we were totally underwhelmed by what it looked like. A lot of rice and very little seafood. The rice was gummy, and there was almost no seafood in it and what seafood there was was not fresh. There were four muscles that were tiny, two shrimps and four langoustines that were not worth the trouble. We were never offered bread. The service was decent, but not great. My husband is a home cook and his paella is so much better and definitely fresher than the crap we got at this restaurant. When the waitress asked how it was, I told her that the seafood was not fresh and the shrimp was mealy which is a sure sign that it is not fresh. This meal was a waste of money and time. Truly, the worst restaurant I have been to in Iceland. read more

The waiters don't speak any english. But that's okay. The manager is the only one who spoke english and he was super rude and brief. Food is very hyped up and expensive read more

Came with a large group... Food as sub par... nothing I tasted out of the 10+ courses we recieved where great. Most items where not edible.. .any people in groups just spitting food back out. The waiting staff was working there butt off but the manager or who ever was in charge was a total asshole to them and everyone. He was taking plates off tables and just bumping and shoving his way to reach across table to many people. To the point if he would have done this to me he would have probably gotten his as handed to him and I would be in a Spanish jail. This guy should not be employed in a customer service position.... read more

We came here off a local recommendation for good seafood but to be honest the food wasn't particularly memorable. I wouldn't say it was explicitly bad or great, just kind of coasting somewhere in between. The service, however, was excellent. In fact, I enjoyed our waiter more than anything else. Everyone was incredibly friendly and they were great about accommodating our large group read more

Had dinner here tonight for my 60th birthday. No special acknowledgment was made after my husband told them when making the reservation. Dinner was very good. Service was not very attentive.

Please read reviews below worse booking system ever. We had dinner reservations at 8pm it's currently 8:38pm and we are still waiting. This place caters to big pharmaceutical companies but if you are a couple on a date go somewhere else. There are too many nice places in Barcelona than being totally stuck at a restaurant that cannot manage itself well enough. Also wanted to mention that they knew it was our anniversary and brought us a bowl of whip cream w a candle on it. I am just blown away....why even bring out a dessert if that is what you will present to a couple who is celebrating such a big day. read more

High prices for tasteless food. I got the grilled kid cutlets. Poorly seasoned, a little overcooked, no sauce to help with flavor, and served with French fries... underwhelming presentation. Gazpacho and wine were ok. Paella was bland. Overall, not worth the price; you can get a gamy piece of meat with French fries for 10€ at less pretentious venues. read more

Great food, perfect ambience right by the waterside. Would come back here again. Good serving sizes, T-bone steak, goat meat and paella were incredible. Loved the fried peppers that came along with the steak. Drinks : the sangria and Mohito were good. For dessert the coconut ice cream and custard is highly recommended read more

Took a long awaited trip to Barcelona and we wanted to have paella and we were told by a local that this was the place to do. Def lived up to its standards and paella was delicious!!! We got there on a limb and didn't know if they would take us as it looks like a very fancy restaurant.... Thankfully they did. The customer service was great. If you are visiting make sure to check it out...it's def worth having a fancy lunch. read more

We visited Restaurante Barceloneta as a party of five on a Saturday night around 7:30pm (with a reservation we made same day), in search of what we were told was some of the best paella in Barcelona. We were not disappointed, and left having experienced a fantastic all around meal! We were quickly seated and sat upstairs in a beautiful area with a great view overlooking the water/bay. The service was excellent...attentive, friendly, suggesting dishes we might like and extremely professional. Their mojitos are outstanding! We greatly enjoyed their clams and garlic as an appetizer (great broth), and then we shared three of their paellas (seafood, meat/vegetable and black rice). All of the paella dishes were excellent (even my kids loved and devoured them)...but our favorite was the black squid ink with cuttlefish...just awesome! In particular, the service and paella were amazing. Great experience and we would strongly recommend! read more

By far one of the best restaurants in Barcelona! Super delicious and a good place to take someone out for their birthday and/or celebrate anniversaries. It's pricey, but I think the quality of service and food is something that you won't get anywhere else. Here's a list of what I tried here: - Pan con tomato: 4/5 I'm a bread lover and I found it super delicious! The bread was toasted fine - Spanish ham: 5/5 I could eat it for days. Super thinly sliced. It's definitely a must try if you're here! - Tomatoes with tuna: 5/5 Healthy, delicious, and fresh. It wasn't salty at all! Great starter and highly recommend. - Fried squid: Amazing. It's crunchy and tasty and fresh. I've never had anything like it. Seafood in Barcelona is seriously the best! - Paella: 3/5 This was my first time eating paella and I thought it was okay. I definitely had high expectations to try this dish in Spain and it was difficult to rate this one because I've never had it before, however I did love all the seafood with the rice. - Dessert: 5/5 Cake was a great way to end a list of food we tried. Sweetness level was perfect. Wish I had more! #nomZz read more

Soooo good. Such an iconic restaurant! The service was not great but honestly that's how it is everywhere in Barcelona. In comparison to the attention in the states, this one was low. I just think that it's not the culture here to go above and beyond in restaurants. Now to the food :) Everything we had here was so fresh! You can taste it in every bite. We had the pan con tomate with a side of jamon - best I've had in all of Barcelona! Croquetas de Mariscos - just the right amount of seafood. Delish. Tempura shrimp - tryyyy this!! Seems like nothing out of this world but the taste of the batter with the shrimp is unbelievable. We also had the paella, Arron negro and fideua - 5 stars. All the seafood tastes so fresh here. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone. read more

Food was good and the service was good but they rip you off. We ordered the chicken and ham croquettes and they offered to split them with the fish croquettes since there were 8 in the order. Then when we received the check they charged a total of 20 euros instead of 13.75 for the croquettes and said that every restaurant in the area would do the same. They should've told us that when we ordered since we were only going to order the ham and cheese croquettes but it seemed like they were being nice by offering us to go half and half when they were actually just scamming us and trying to increase the size of our bill. The food and ambiance is very nice but if you do come here prepare to be scammed and don't take them up on any of their offers. read more

The only redeeming quality about this restaurant was the nice staff. For €46, I expected the best prawns of my life. Instead, they were fishy and small. I know you shouldn't expect authentic paella in Barcelona, but it was also a salty disappointment. I really regret coming to this restaurant and think you should avoid it. read more

Should have read the reviews prior to eating here recommended by our hotel for paella. Big disappointment poor service very expensive oysters were $10.00 per dozen I should of asked before ordering 12. Very bland no sauce served with them just lemon. Drinks were good but fish, scrimp and mussels were scared in the paella dish. Best part of my meal was the tomato bread. I've had better paella in San Francisco!! Try another spot but I wouldn't eat here again . read more

I went to Barceloneta on a friend's recommendation, with the warning that it was pricey. I was a little disappointed when I first walked in, as it looks like the really expensive, seaside restaurant that you find in every similar area in the Western hemisphere. That is to say, it felt a little pretentious and didn't have much personality. My paella was just OK, but my mom really liked her seafood pasta, and my dad declared the salmon to be the best he's eaten in his life. The flan we shared for dessert was excellent. Service was OK. I think you could do much better for the price, but this would be a good place to take someone for a special occasion or to impress them. read more

The food was nice, proper seafood. However the waiter really wanted to take our plate back to the kitchen, to a point where he would stand within 10ft of the table watching us eat until we'd finished our bottle of soda or our dish. Quite hilarious but not really the service I was looking for. However, it's the food and the facilities that count, one mediocre waiter won't ruin the experience. read more

Beautiful views of the marina area of the Port of Barcelona. Upon entering the restaurant, there is a really unique Mediterranean vibe, the decor a bit quirky yet tasteful. We were greeted very promptly and the service was top notch. The food is exceptional and the menu extensive. This is a great place to come as a group so you can try the array of amazing tapas this restaurant has to offer. If you are looking for a place in this city that has the best seafood cooked authentically in the Catalan style, visit this place and you will not be disappointed. This was definitely a highlight during my visit to Barcelona. read more
