While I was in Barcelona, I knew that I wanted to try out good paella somewhere while I was in Spain. A friend recommended El Glop to me since they enjoyed it a lot, so I decided to check it out since it wasn't too far from where I was. I decided to come for lunch, and I arrived pretty soon after they opened so I was able to be seated right away. The interior is nice and homey, with quite a few tables inside. I decided to get the seafood paella since that's what my friend recommended. I have to say that this is probably one of the best paella I've had, the flavors were great and the texture was on-point. I finished one whole paella on my own, which I was surprised by since I thought that I would have leftovers at least. The seafood was also tasty, so overall I was very impressed. Would highly recommend checking this place out for paella, I greatly enjoyed mine! read more

El Glop Braseria - Seafood Paella - Brasseries Near Me - Barcelona, B

This place was listed as a good place to eat in Barcelona, but I wouldn't come back. We got some of their meat dishes and things were dry. The one good dish we had was their black rice paella, which had a good amount of seafood and wasn't too salty like other paellas we have had. We got the sangria as well, it was good! We did find a piece of plastic wrapper in the jug and told the waiter who replaced it. A bit disappointed, but if you go get the black rice paella! They have indoor and outdoor seating. read more

One of my friends who is now a local recommended this place so we definitely had to go! The black rice paella was the star of the show in service was overall good. I thought it was strange because I asked one guy just to confirm if they were closing and he couldn't understand me so he got someone else to take care of us only for them to confirm that they weren't closing. (Yelp's store hours said otherwise which is why i asked). I would definitely come back to this place tho. read more

We stopped here after a long day of shopping and walking around the city. It is a huge authentic Spanish food restaurant that feels like you are in a family home eating. They offered great pricing and a lot of choices for food including paella. Although I was looking for a lighter meal, the paella options did look enticing. I got the shrimp with garlic and fries accompanied by a sangria of course. The sangria was so good I had two. The staff was attentive and friendly. read more

We were staying in an Airbnb closeby and hit this spot for lunch. We eat limited meat, and were happy to see the chicken paella on the menu. It was christmas eve when we stopped by . Server was very friendly. We enjoyed the bravas, paella and sangria. Server said they were known for their grilled stuff which we didn't try but definitely recommend the restaurant. read more

Coming from someone in the US, this restaurant was fantastic! The seafood paella is sooooo good and the salmon's sauce was delicious. The sangria was sweet and tasted great. The rabbit and spaghetti bolognese were decent, what you would expect from both dishes. Would come back again! Their service was also good! read more

This place is famous for their black rice (not called paella). The black rice is different but at the same time similar to paella. Personally, I would prefer a regular seafood paella, but the black rice something different and good to try! :) read more

We had heard about this place from the front desk guy at our hotel and boy was it such a good recommendation. When you first walk into this restaurant you get a true feel of what Barcelona is all about with native decor and hanging cured meats around the walls it was such a beautiful sight. We knew that coming to Spain we wanted to try the paella and that we did. The paella was so delicious and you could really tell that they used quality ingredients in this dish. It was definitely everything that I thought it was going to be and more. The bread that they had brought out was a whole new experience for us as well. They served it with whole cloves of garlic and small tomatoes that you cut and prepare on the toast. Such simple ingredients made bread taste so much better. Lastly I also had the whiskey sangria which wasn't very strong but it was still very tasty. read more

Off a recommendation of our hotel, we wanted something close by. The El Glop Braseria was very nice. Loved the decor. The food was excellent. I got the Seafood paella and had to try Cava, a local wine I believe. Delicious! The Cava is a must if anything to taste it. It is a white wine but not dry or sweet. A little taste of fruit, but subtle. My husband got the All meat combo. Ribs, sausage, chicken and pork. He loved it! However this is a plate you should share. It's a lot of meat. Our server however was a different story. The experience would have been great if our server was a little more responsive or even professional. However I noted that he seemed new to the job, so we tried to cut him a little slack. But to wait 15 minutes or more after we finished our meal AND to have to ask him if we could please get our check. Again we tried to understand he may have been new, but we noticed people who came in after us, were paying and leaving. Good food! Beautiful decor! Service left a lot to be desired. read more

My wife called me to tell me she found a restaurant near our hotel called "El Glop" and I immediately agreed... We have to try it!! We had a really awesome octopus appetizer, duck confit, and the ubiquitous bread with tomato. To top it off, we had an amazing tangerine sherbet desert! We truly enjoyed the meal and we look forward to returning... El Glop means delicious. read more

I'm not sure what I was expecting from a venue called "El Glop." In English the word sounds unappetizing, but the food they serve is the opposite. I ordered a mixed meat platter and was pleased with everything on my plate. The service was attentive even though the place was busy. The pre-siesta crowd descended just after I sat down, so if you're hungry, make sure you give yourself extra time to get here - they had to turn people away. I was alone but I did see large groups of people, include families with small children, so they seem to be accomodating of most any group you might have. Also, they have menus in English, for anyone whose unsure of their ability to order in Spanish. read more

Great tapas place! We took advantage of the lunch specials (about 10€ for app, entree, and choice of beverage or dessert) and supplemented with two single person paella's. It was way too much food for three of us but it was so worth it! I had the seafood salad as the app. It was tangy and mixed with a mayo type sauce - seafood was so fresh and it mixed well with the other elements of the dish. The entrees were veal and fish of the day(sardines). Superb and for 10 euros you really can't beat it. But if you want to really experience something delicious you have to try the black rice! It's a squid ink rice paella with seafood and it was so worth overstuffing ourselves with food. :) The second paella was chicken for the non-seafood person in our group but it was also excellent. You really can't go wrong and they have another place down by Placei de Gracia. read more

El Glop Braseria - Had a lovely lunch... so good! Sangria, seafood and salad. - Brasseries Near Me - Barcelona, B

Fun spot to sit outside and people watch and you can indulge in a pitcher of sangria that has a touch of fizz to it, quite drinkable and friendly staff - had the paella with rabbit and snails - use the provided long toothpicks to dig out the snail meat, and drizzle some of the tablets olive oil on everything to bring out the flavor - food comes right over from the regular restaurant right next to the outside seating - we had not only tourists but locals eating here and it was well priced - if you sit in the downstairs part of the restaurant you can see the food being prepared by n an open kitchen - if you do not want sangria get a carafe of the house wine - tapped off of barrels or a big mug of beer - so good I am taking others from my trip back tonight! read more

El Glop Braseria - Argentinian steak 400g eith salad - Brasseries Near Me - Barcelona, B

I came here with friends while visiting Barcelona for Pride in late June. We had been craving paella, and found the place almost by accident. We ordered the seafood paella, and while it took a long time to get to us (it is listed in the menu that it takes a while), we didn't mind. It was absolutely delicious and worth all the 15 or so Euro that I paid for my portion. Aside from that, the waiters were very nice! They kind of forget about your existence, but it's like that in all of Spain. Just make sure to get their attention when you need them and you'll be fine. read more

The food, wine, staffs were great. We came here for dinner with a group of six. Overall, I recommend this place. The only bad thing is the bathroom isn't very appealing. read more

The salmon was dry and overcooked. What they lacked in quality they made up for in quantity.

My family and I had an excellent experience and an excellent meal here on our first day in Barcelona. The wait staff was very kind and assisted with our order, as our Spanish is very minimal. The meals were very decently priced and portion sizes were HUGE! I would highly recommend giving this place a try if you're ever in the area! read more

Great paella, tapas, and chocolate lava cake! The staff were very friendly and playful and even demonstrated for us how to eat the calcots (which by the way were my favourite dish of the night). read more

We had a great dinner at this place, Stuffed chicken and salmon cooked in cava were great. Prices on the reasonable side. Recommend it to everyone. read more

Had the chicken and vegetable Paella, absolutely phenomenal! So much flavor, great assortment of veggies, the chicken wasn't too dry. My friends also had paella of different sorts, and they were equally as impressed. I'm giving this place 5 stars because we were their last customers of the night and they treated us so well. I accidentally spilled food on my white shirt and the waiter instantly brought me some spray to get the stain out and it actually worked, no more stain!! read more

Pass this up and find another. It might be well known but it's expensive for the food and so so weight staff. It was the only place where the waitress told us the tip was not included in the bill. read more
