It does however serve some killer seafood rice. The waitstaff were very helpful and took their time explaining the whole menu to us. Several of the items that you see in the rice are for flavoring only (such as the small crabs). The rice pudding was very good and the child liked the flan.

Their Gambas à la Plancha looked like grilled shrimp with just a dash of herbs, but the shrimp is of excellent quality and you can taste the freshness of the seafood. Their Paella Marisco was the highlight for me. I'm sure there are many wonderful paella places in Spain, but compared to the ones I've had in the U.S., this one excels in flavor. Their Pimientos de Padron is equivalent to grilled shishito peppers found in many Japanese restaurants back home, but I love the simplicity of this dish. A little bit of rock salt really brought out the natural flavor. The peppers weren't overcooked either. They were the perfect texture. Their Patatas Bravas, quite simple, but yummy nonetheless. Piping hot when it came out. Potatoes were crisp on the outside, moist on the inside. Nice size chunks. Once dipped in sauce, tasty! The Crema Catalana was a nice touch to end dinner. This dessert is the Spanish equivalent of creme brûlée. Theirs was definitely more substantial - richer than most creme brûlées that I've tried and the toasted top layer, definitely well executed. Easy to get to on foot if you stay at a hotel close by. Not too pricey either for the quality of food served. Will definitely eat here if I visit Spain again.

We started with calamari, potatoes, and nuggets -- a delicious warm-up act. Then came the squid paella, which was out of this world. We also couldn't resist the tomato toast, and I'm still craving more even though I'm too full to breathe, let alone order another bite. Oh, and don't skip the sangria -- it washes everything down beautifully.

There were a bunch of things I did not understand on the menu but the server was very kind and did his best to try and explain what the dishes were. I ended up choosing the "Arròs 'Senyoret'"which the server called "a gentleman's paella". It is basically a seafood paella you only need to use your fork to eat with. No knifes required because all the shells and skins have been removed. (If you are into removing your own meat from your shellfish, get the "Arròs Mariner". He said it was the same exact dish, only with shells intact. Anyways. The paella was delicious and I'm so glad I came here. I ate the whole thing by myself.

Our party of 4 Americans with no ability to speak Catalan, and only high school level Spanish, showed up at Banys Lluis for a late dinner with no reservation, but the servers who were able to speak English, were gracious, welcoming, professional and friendly. The servers gave us excellent recommendations for wine, and helped us select a wonderful paella from their many choices and wow, the paella was fantastic! Not until a few days afterwards, did I learn from Barcelona friends that people go to Sant Pol de Mar just to eat paella at Banys Lluis! The servers also brought out a 30 inch round metal tray with a selection of the catch of the day, and after we selected a fish, they cooked it beautifully, delicious with bold flavors. A lovely restaurant, tastefully decorated, excellent service, excellent paella. I would go back there and highly recommend it.
