Despite the wealth of choices as we snacked our way through the market, we came back to Clemens Boqueria for a bit of a sit down lunch, personable, knowledgeable, staff, and good food, well-prepared right in front of you. Today we had a Tortilla with asparagus and fried peppers, all washed down with Tinto Verano - a lightweight summer wine drink. read more

This is one of the food/restaurant stalls in Boqueria Market . You'll walk past an amazing array of choices before you get to the back left hand corner to find them . I passed by twice and all the food looked amazing so I returned to eat. . It's all counter seating and you can see all the fresh food being prepared. The father and son are working at the restaurant and are both super friendly. The oysters were the best I've ever had , French but wasn't given the name . Paired with nice rose and followed by a delicious grilled sea bass, perfection . read more

The worst experience in Barcelona. The server was extremely rude when we called out that we've been waiting for 10 minutes and told that we can leave if we didn't like it there. Disappointing. There are much better food options nearby. read more

We were at La Boqueria on La Rambla and starving so skipped the wait at the highly recommended El Quim (http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-quim-de-la-boqueria-barcelona) and found Bar Clemens in the back left corner of the market, if you're entering from La Rambla. Tasty and cheap breakfast items and pretty decent coffee (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/_cuPYB9TQcwlsWa_O12wng?select=iec7CaPpJcjLQqc5D2QNQA). You can see my pictures of the menu as well as skewers ready to grill in their cold case. In the Boqueria website they list their specialties as - Desayunos (breakfast) - Bocadillos frios y calientes (hot & cold sandwiches) - Aperitivos (snacks) - Tapas read more

Me encanta Bar Clemen's. This place was absolutely our favorite in La Boqueria. I believe we went 3 times all together for a long leisurely lunch. It seems some people complained on this site about the prices, but OMG, -seriously you CANNOT get this kind of food in the states for less $100.00 or more. The quality was sublime. We tried almost everything in the menu and my husband still talks about the anchovies. However, if you are really adventurous try the tripe, "callos". It reminded me of Cuba and my grandmother's cooking. This is a family owned business and they are the nicest and most hardworking people you will find in that place. Our second trip to Barcelona and Bar Clemen's will be on our list for our 3rd trip. read more

The only reason we chose this sit down bars inside the market was because we saw sangrias for €2,50! While the prices were beverages seem cheap....they make up for it with the price of the food items. After standing alongside the bar waiting for someone to finish their meal so we can snatched up their seats, we finally sat down and ordered ourselves some sangria and shared the catalonia sausage plate for €8,50. The sangria wasn't bad...wish it was a bigger glass though. The sausage plate took forever to prepare. It comes with grilled peppers, fries and bread drizzled with oil and vinegar. The food is just ok for me...you come to the market and dine here for the experience but I definitely wouldn't spend much here. You can get a big empanada or potato cake next door for €2,50 and feel more satisfied. The lady next to us had the salmon plate and she returned her fish back to the kitchen 2 or 3 times because it was raw in the middle. I mean, how hard is it to cook salmon all the way through? At least the server was nice enough to assist her without any attitudes. read more

We scoped out the entire market before choosing to eat here. This place is located in the back left corner of the market and could have been easily missed. At about 2 pm, we were one of the past tables before closing and many dishes were sold out. Still, we enjoyed the scallops, prawns and mixed vegetables. Prior to this meal, I was avoiding scallops like an ex boyfriend, but these scallops made me remember why I liked them in the first place. Simply grilled on a half shell and dressed with olive oil. read more

From entering at the main entrance of the market, it's in the back towards the left. Friendly eatery with a focus on seafood dishes. They spoke English and had menus in French, English and Spanish. The staff were good at handling the queue even though there wasn't a real queue as people just move up to the bar as others are eating. It was about a 15-20 min wait at 230 pm on a Saturday. It's cramped eating at the bar but this whole market is cramped so it's all relative. Ordered calamari (10€) - ok not super flavourful or tender. Patatas bravas (5€) were delicious!!! 3 grilled sardines (4€) as he didn't have a full order for us was very good. And the seabass (13€) was simply cooked and came with fries. Very fresh fish. Cava was 2.75€ per glass - can't get over how inexpensive cava is here! Staff were friendly and food came at a good pace. Overall good to average place. read more

The market it self is amazing, mesmerizing to say the least! Among the many hidden gems in the market, this place is my favorite. Laid back atmosphere, fresh food being cooked right in front of you, and great coffee to finish. All this while you people watch. Prices are average for the market, but incredible if you consider the freshness of the food you are getting. Recommend the lobster (comes with clams and mussels), and the púlpitos (small squid). read more

IF you're in Barcelona you MUST stop by here and sit and eat. This place is in the St. Josep La Boqueria Mercat (The Market). Grab some cava and enjoy great selections here. The older guy that works here with his wife is awesome and attentive. He knows exactly what you need with your meal before you know you need it. (I think he's the owner). The cava here is cheaper than most other places I found in this Market. So drink up. Everything looks yummy. But no matter what you order definitely order the Baby Fried Squid. YUM!!!! Literally melts in your mouth. You might never be able to appreciate calamari again. The artichokes were also made to perfection! Will definitely be hitting this place everytie I'm in Barcelona. Tip: Make sure you keep your receipt if you want to use the bathroom at this Market, it's free with a receipt from one of the vendors, without a receipt they charge you to use the bathroom. read more

Unbelievable!!! I have always dreamed of making it to Lá Boqueria. I was in awe with the quality of the seafood and meats. I looked around and decided I would eat here. Prices are reasonable and the staff was very attentive. I ordered the mixed seafood plater and my fiancé ordered a steak. All plates were cooked perfectly and the flavors were well balanced and simple. You don't have to mask quality with ingredients with sauces or spices. The fresh produce and meats speak for themselves. I was pleased to see the chef head over to a neighboring stall to procure a fresh cut steak for my fiancé. We had the best mimosas, sangria, papas bravas, pimientos de Padron, and seafood on our trip to Barcelona. We are pleased to find out that they have been in business since 1969 and will most likely be there on our trip back. Do yourself a favor and have a meal here. You won't be disappointed. Bonus - our server acted as our personal guide to the best stalls in the market. They are intent on building relationships here. read more

After strolling through the La Boqueria Market I decided to sit down at this place b/c of all the enticing displayed seafood and it didn't disappointed. The pan-fried whole sea bream fish was perfectly cooked and oh-so-fresh. The mushrooms were sautéed nicely and had a crunchy flavor. It was also a great place to people watched while you dine and seeing the locals made their run for fresh meat and produce! read more

The best meal we had in Barcelona and possibly the freshest seafood we had ever eaten anywhere. A busy back corner bar that displays there dishes on top of the counters of the bars and you order from the menu or by pointing to what you want. Everything was delicious especially the mixed seafood grill. We also tried the grilled vegetables and fried sardines. The barman was helpful and friendly and the entire bar of patrons was having a great time enjoying the amazing food. They even topped our beers off with more foam to enhance taste. We would definitely return to Barcelona and make Bar Clemens one of our first dining stops. read more

One of my favorites spots in Barcelona. This tapas bar is at La Boqueria Market and has the fresher and most traditional Spanish food. Their tortillas of different kinds, the grilled fish,...and the coolest short beers (cañas) that Alberto, the owner, will be refilling for you with a joke followed by a smile. I can't wait to be there next! read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this spot after wandering through La Boqueria just before siesta time, as most places are shutting down. We spotted some open seats at the small bar and ordered some drinks and a few tapas. We had patatas bravas (spicy and delish), mussels (simple, but made especially good when the green olive oil sauce was added) and asparagus (literally the best I've had anywhere- simply prepared, but so perfect). Also the homemade sangria was lovely. What made this place stand out was the service. The owner ( I presume) and his son took great of us, and we felt like we were sitting at their family's kitchen table. Our drinks were kept full, and we were offered samples and recommendations. They offered to speak English or listen to my garbled Spanish attempts. We were so thrilled with our experience that we went back again only a few days later, and were treated to the same amazing service and food. read more

We found this gem on our first morning in Barcelona and ended up going back 2 more times. With all of the wonderful food in Barcelona this was one place we had to go back to. If you are a seafood fan you must try this spot. We have traveled to many destinations with fresh seafood and I can honestly say this has some of the best seafood we have ever had. The staff is friendly, helpful and patient with those of us who are non-Spanish speaking. I only wish I could go back weekly to try everything on the menu. This is a must try in the Boqueria. Have the gambas, you will not be disappointed. read more
