    Fish & seafood menu
    Thomas V.

    By far one of the most affordable restaurants that is still near a tourist hotspot. Do come early or you will have to wait a long time in line. We came on a Thursday at 3pm and still had to wait a bit before getting a spot. Another time we walked by around 7pm and the line was down the street! The Colom Restaurant is well known for quality dishes with a good price. They offer a lot of seafood dishes and the chefs are well prepared for the amount of orders. The dishes come out pretty quick after ordering even though the kitchen itself is pretty small. As is with most Spanish restaurants, you do have to flag down the waiters if you need anything or to get a check.

    We came at 6pm on a Wednesday night - great time to come because there was no line! When we left it was down the street! We got a bunch of tapas to start and the seafood paella! Was not particularly blown away by any dish but the paella was definitely the crowd favorite. The staff here truly make the experience incredible. They are so fun and vibing and just having a good time!

    The food was amazing. The seafood paella is a must order! There was not one dish I didn't like. My only complaint is the service. The staff wasn't very friendly. This may be due to how busy they were as I felt they were very short or it could be because we were tourists and barely spoke Spanish. We were lucky to get a table before the crowd. My recommendation was to go early otherwise you'll be waiting outside in a long line.

    We got there around 6pm (it's a holiday season) and waited in the line/queue for about 40 minutes. There is no reservation, first come first serve. I heard about this place from a recommendation online but was skeptical because of the mixed reviews. I thought the service inside was quite quick and they were great. The food came out relatively quickly and the food was overall good. The bill wasn't too hefty so that's a plus. When we left, the line was 3x longer than when we got there. We ordered: - pan con tomate: 3/5 standard bread with tomato and olive oil...I hoped the bread would be tastier but it was very standard - bombas de carne: 5/5 my favorite! Too bad it only came in two. So flavorful. - mejillones a la marinera: 4/5 I liked the sauce but ours were a little cold. - paella: 4/5 seafood was good but the rice was uneven texture - sparking water: 5/5 lol very sparkly

    Loved the ambiance and the tapas options. I got the mushrooms, sangria and the seafood paella and all items were really good.

    Rubbery pulpo

    We started to get on the long line around 8:30pm on Sunday and wait almost an hour to finally get the table. We ordered 5 Tapas and Seafoods Paella for two. Tapas came out almost instantly and they were good. Some of them(Pulpo and Gambas) were not as good as expected but they were still good enough. We were expecting Paella to come out after we finished our Tapas. The next table, who came in 5 minutes late than us, got the same Seafoods Paella in 10 minutes after they ordered it. But, our Paella did not come out until the next table finished the whole Paella and became ready to order more dishes. It was more than an hour (probably about 75 minutes or so) since we ordered our Paella. Maybe, the Paella which was made for our table was served for our next table because I know Paella usually takes at least 20 minutes to be served due to its cooking method. And I continued seeing other tables around us getting Paellas, but ONLY our Paella did not come out. My patience reached its limit when our waiting time was almost 75 minutes. I just paid for everything except Paella and rushed out of the restaurant. Felt very discriminated and not properly served as other customers

    Came to eat alone and waited in line maybe 30 min, I was looking at the menu for about 5 min or so when one waiter came and rushed me to order but I wasn't ready so I got a tapa of garlic shrimp. Wasn't that flavorful but came in less than 10min then was told a paella was only for a min of two ppl or it was double-- and made it seem like I couldn't order it at all. Finally after reviewing the menu plates they were all the price of the paella (doubled). When I was ready to order they took their time getting back to me and a different waiter said it was ok to get the paella, just more expensive. I got my paella in 10 min but nothing was that good about it other than the portions and amount of seafood maybe? And felt like I was being rushed to leave cause ppl are outside in line so the waiter who was nice at first suddenly interrupted my convo with the ppl next to me asking me how the food was. I don't recommend and for the same price you can get something better

    Paella for two

    There was a wait time to get in the restaurant. Our waiter was excellent We ordered the paella for two- presentation was great but portion size could have been more

    The overcooked paella...see the dessicated mussels?
    Harold M.

    We had heard that they have one of the best seafood paella's served in Barcelona...so we stood outside in line for 45 minutes to get in. The paella wasn't worth the wait...it was way overcooked, the shrimp and mussels were dried out. The flavor was good but the rice was more like rissoto than paella. The tapas such as Patatas Bravas were good and service was good, so were the desserts. But the reason we went was paella...disappointing.

    Ugh...I wish I could leave a better review as the food was good but the service absolutely crossed it all. Before we even finished our meal they gave us a check even though we wanted to get a dessert and drinks. We paid for it still finishing what we've already order and then asked for another bottle of champagne and they said "No! There are so many people waiting outside for the table so we should leave"! It was absolutely rude and disrespectful! Find another spot to dine if you don't want to ruin your vacation

    Paella mixto

    Our Airbnb host recommended this place to us so we gave it a try. We had to wait in line for a little bit because it was busy. The place had a nice vibe. The staff was quick and courteous. We ordered some cod balls , potatoes bravas, grilled cuttlefish and a mixed paella . All of the food was delicious and piping hot. I had never had cuttlefish prepared like this before and it was absolutely delicious. The paella was great too.

    I had lunch at Colom. The interior was clean and neat. Staffs were professional. The food were delicious. The octopus was extremely tender. I thought the paella was going to be salty based on others' review, but I guess the kitchen saw that I was Asian and put less salt for me. The Calar beer was very refreshing and unique. Overall highly recommended!

    Without a reservation, I followed the crowd and ended in line at Colom. With a wait and smiles on the exiting guests faces, I assumed all would be well. The quick punchline is it was not worth the wait. The food was prices alright. The portions adequate. The flavor, however, was mostly absent. Nothing stood out as it all came in flat. The octopus was over cooked and over seasoned yet was still blah. The paella was a total mess. I appreciated how they included a good amount of rabbit, but again no real taste to describe for you. Even the salad seemed to be missing something. It should be no surprise that after that initial excitement, I left disappointed. I skipped dessert and recommend you consider skipping it all.

Very flavorful and fast experience. Oxtail and mashed potatoes 10/10: the oxtail meet is so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes pair so well with the oxtail. Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!! Comfortable ambiance great for date night or casual meals!!!

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. As for the food let's get into it: - Lobster Croquettes (8/10) We've had a lot of croquettes this trip, but these were on another level, get one per person. - Paella (7.5/10) Different style of paella from other places we went. 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. Overall a great experience, from the service and ambiance to the quality of the food, this is a must try when visiting Barcelona. Would I go again? Absolutely!

Cañete was booked out for 2 weeks straight, so we decided to risk it and see if we could get a spot as walk-ins; and were lucky enough to want less than 5 minutes before being sat at the "bar" in front of the open kitchen, which is honestly the best seat in the house IMHO. 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.

We decided to do a more upscale experience when my in-laws flew in to show them the food scene in Barcelona and this did not disappoint. We had a reservation for 8pm and arrived just beforehand. We were seated in the back of the cellar, which created an intimate yet unique experience. We were greeted by Max, who was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered drinks to start - which consisted of some old fashions and sangria's. Highly recommend! For appetizers, we ordered the duck salad and the octopus. Honestly, both were absolutely fabulous. The octopus was made to perfection and the duck was tender and delicious. We ordered some steaks - medium rare and the lambchops. All things were absolutely delicious.

Gorgeous Cave-Like setting right in the heart of The Gothic Quarter. For food we got: - both Peach and Red Sangria's - maybe the best in Spain. 15 Euros so not cheap - Pan Con Tomate - first time having this dish -- great, - Iberian "Pluma" Acorn Fed Pork - so tender and amazing! - Cod (Bacalao) - perfectly baked I must give a shout out to our amazing waiter LUCAS who spoke excellent english and gave some perfect recommendations. We got here at 7:30 and it was quiet -- but quickly filled up and was totally full by 8:30. It's more expensive than most restaurants but for that you get quality service, superb food, linen napkins, and soft jazz music. We wanted to come again the next night but it was totally booked! Trip Advisor rates this as #57 (as of May 2026) but I think it should be in the top 10. Book a table early guys -- this restaurant will not disappoint you!
