    We're in the gothic corner of Barcelona near the marina. Quaint friendly restaurant was recommended, professional staff with English. We had reservations for a table for 5 We ordered paella with seafood for 3 and Chicken & sausage paella for 2 so we were set. Tasty garlic olives were served. I've never had Paella before. They cleared most of our table before it our feast was brought out, after a short wait 2 sizzling cast iron skillets covered our table they were a sight to see. Our seafood paella shrimp clams mussels skillet was skillfully served onto 3 plates by our waiter, he did the same for the girls chicken & sausage plates . Our lunches were fantastic unbelievable flavors.We all finished with smiles for our memorable lunch. The price was super for the food, setting, and service we experienced. We're now ready to catch our flight to Portugal Try Can Sole you won't be disappointed

    You will love this wine.

    Magnificent! One of the best meals of the year! Criminally underrated on Yelp. 120 year old resturaunt. Mostly locals, but they were warm and inviting to tourists The best service, fairly bilingual, fresh linen, excellent wine, excellent coffee, the Paella is to die for, no tomatoes in this, boullabaise with a variety of seafood! All the seafood was awesome. Great ambience. I cant say enough good about this place. Try it. This is the Paella you need. This is authentic. This is real.

    One of the first times I've tried white wine sangria, but was very good! Paella was flavorful, but definitely on the saltier side. Located a little ways off from a more touristy area of Barcelona, but overall the food was worth the price & good service! Waiters were very friendly & checked up on us throughout the meal.

    Cod "can Solé" style

    The mussels were amazing. The place was pretty busy only 20 minutes after opening. We did not have a reservation however we're seated right away. I can't wait to come back, my favorite restaurant in Barcelona!

    It's been 20 years since I've been In Spain. And I couldn't ask a better restaurant to end my trip. This place was hiding Off the Main Street and down a small alley. You know this place is good, when look at the walls and see photographs of past celebrities and patrons. This restaurant is small with enough space for about 7 tables. For our first course we had mixed salad, calamari and croquettes filled with ham, cheese and liver. The portions were just enough to comfortably feed a table of 6. And for our main course we had paella mixto for 6. This dish is huge!! The flavor of the paella was terrific and the amount of seafood in the dish was just right. Unfortunately we weren't able to finish it all, but this place definitely had the best paella I have had on this trip. In addition to the food, the staff was nothing short of amazing. They were kind, funny and really made feel like we were Barcelona locals. Our server capped off the night with a couple of shots of Spanish Brandy called Orujo de hierbas. It was terrific and if we kept on drinking at the pace they fed us shots, I would be fluent in Spanish in no time. There is no other way to say this but, I totally recommend this place to any tourist visiting Barcelona. I will definitely come back here next year for another delicious meal.

    KenScale: 8.0/10 If there is such thing as a classic institution in Barcelona when it comes to food, Can Sole probably fits the bill. Established in 1903, it has been serving fresh classic Catalan seafood and beloved by tourists and locals alike. Located at a somewhat obscure corner of Barceloneta nearby the coast, the restaurant displays photos of all the famous luminaries that passed by. In a way, the restaurant could look like a tourist trap, but the lunch I had here was anything but. My biggest goal at Can Sole was to taste paella (which I hadn't yet tasted during my trip to Spain), but I also heard positive things about seafood in general from a friend who recently dined here. I ordered red prawns and baby squids, both sautéed, and really loved the freshness of the ingredient. The flavor was also evenly balanced such that it didn't kill the texture of either seafood either. Paella with seafood was also outstanding. I wish there was more seafood on top of the rice, but otherwise the flavor was aromatic without being heavy or overly salty, and the texture of rice was also spot-on. Not surprisingly, my dining companion and I quickly devoured the big large pan for a party of two in short amount of time. For desserts, classic Catalan dishes like crèma catalane custard with caramelized topping (think crème brulee) and liquor-glazed cake are the safe bets. Can Sole feels and smells classic all over the place. I heard a lot of English around the dining room, which tells that this has become a tourist destination in Barcelona. There is a huge wine list that you can always choose from. Getting a reservation wasn't particularly difficult, and the dining room seemed to be on the quieter side on a Saturday lunch. Can Sole is the type of places you would want to visit while you are in Barcelona if you're looking for classic Catalan seafood. It is one of those places that you can't go wrong with.

    Since we only had one lunch in Barcelona, I knew that I had to find the perfect place for us to have all that Barcelona has to offer. A lot of research both online and in guidebooks led me to Can Sole, which was one of the restaurants open on a Sunday. Can Sole was established in 1903 and has been serving paella and seafood for over 113 years. We, of course, had to have the paella! Throw in some jamón ibérico (ham from the Black Iberian pig) and pan con tomate (tomato paste bread) and it was one of the best meals of our trip! The paella was so big it didn't even fit into a single shot! It was jam-packed with squid, octopus, mussels, clams, and shrimp. Between the three of us, we finished more than 3/4ths of it, which I think is an accomplishment. Service was attentive and we felt like we had one of the best meals during our entire trip here! My mom, who's never had Spanish food before, ate more paella than both of us combined!

    Following friend's recommendation, we reserved a dinner table for two and ordered a dried paella with sea urchin and scallops. An absolute pleasure, Can Solé did bomba rice a justice. Butterly but not over seasoning. It reminds me of my mum's cook! We definitely would recommend the paella.

This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

    Walking down the street on Rambla and a "Huge Line" has gathered outside Cerveseria Catalana…read more Something special must be happening here to have this big of a crowd waiting. My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

Our server, Amaya, was funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He took great care of us, and every single recommendation he made was delicious. I wish I knew all the Spanish names of the dishes because everything was amazing. The highlights for us were the Bacalao -- so tender and full of flavor -- and honestly the best octopus I've ever had in my life. We also loved the soft steak with duck liver served on a slice of French baguette, the shrimp skewers, patatas, and the Spanish ham with tomato toasts. Every dish was unforgettable. On top of the incredible food, the restaurant itself has such an elegant atmosphere with beautiful décor that made the whole dining experience even more special.

I came here for lunch, and thankfully I didn't have to wait too long before I got seated inside. The interior is a bit on the smaller side, but it's quite bright with a lot of natural sunlight inside. For the food, I decided to get squid, codfish with honey allioli, and iberian ham montaditos. While all of the food was great, for me the codfish was hands-down the star of the show and probably one of the best dishes that I ate on the trip. The flavor of the sauce combined with the texture of the fish actually blew me away, and I can see why my server highly recommended this to me. If you just get one things when coming here, definitely make sure not to miss this dish. Highly recommend checking this place out for Spanish tapas, they represent the cuisine well!

The service was excellent, our server spoke English and knew so much about American pop culture. He even sang NSYNC songs to us while serving us dishes.

It was almost like a paella curry, which was still rich and delicious. - Squid Sandwich (10/10) This is hands down the best appetizer I've ever had. The squid was packed with flavor and the mayo sauce they used paired perfectly. Order one per person, and be prepared to order another to go. - Garlic Shrimp (8/10) Solid entree paired with sourdough bread. Dip that bread into the sauce and you'll be satisfied. - Aged Beef Steak w/ Foie Gras (9/10) This might be one of the best steak dishes I've had traveling abroad. It was cooked perfectly, and came with a potato crust on the bottom and Foie Gras on top. Definitely a must order.

You get to see all the 'action' and interact with the friendly and often funny staff. Everything in the menu we tried was fantastic, but a few standouts for me were the squid sandwich (do yourself a favor and try it, even if you aren't a "squid person" the bread is fresh, and the butter garlic sauce they use should be sold in bottles at the supermarket), the lobster croquet was refreshing, and the aged beef steak with foie and truffle sauce was delicious and cooked to perfection.
