    Chicken and lamb paella
    Theresa H.

    Paella was so good. Lamb and chicken. Sangria had a good flavor. Service was good. Great artwork. Great restaurant.

    On our last night in Barcelona we went to Gaudim. It was an experience in dining. We started with drinks and then Chef Sammy came out and told us about the appetizers and main courses. We shared several appetizers, salads and specials. The main course consisted of a seafood piaya and lamb and chicken piaya, grilled fish and garlic shrimp. On to the deserts. Grilled pineapple, figs, hot molten cake with ice cream and then the warm brandy. The entire food experience was more than we could have imagined.

    Beautifully decorated restaurant.

    While visiting Barcelona, we were looking for the best paella we could find. Our hotel concierge suggested Gaudim. It was a few blocks away and we heard that it is difficult to get reservations for the evening. So, we went there for lunch. We got to meet the chef who recommended the lamb chop paella. We placed our order and then picked our calamari appetizer and drinks. What a delightful experience. The drinks were the perfect complement for the tender and lightly battered calamari. The garlic sauce took the calamari to the next level. When the beautiful platter of paella arrived, we couldn't wait to dig in. OMG, the lamb chops were pure perfection! The rice was well seasoned and very tasty. Oh how I wish we lived closer to Barcelona! This was by far the best meal we had in Spain.

    This place is worth the wait and lives up to the hype. We really wanted to get legit paella at least one of the days we were here and Gaudil did not disappoint. I would strongly advise to make a reservation in advance of going. The hostess greeted us and after a brief wait we were seated. I saw espresso martini on the menu and had to try it, it was decent. The patatas bravas here were fantastic, crispy and the sauce was on point. The star of the show was their lamb paella which is their house special it really was to die for between the lamb chops being cooked perfectly, the perfectly seasoned and cooked rice. The whole dish was perfection. Definitely try this place if your in the area

    We went to this restaurant because our friends Sue and Alton had tasted paella never. So, this is the place: one chicken and veggies paella and the other with lamb and chicken: delicious both: i recommend you order it. Dessert was fig and mascarpone creme, oh my goodness !!! out of this world. Of course, cava, limoncello and orujo complement our dinner. We'll be back

    Excellent restaurant with excellent service and ambience. Everything on the menu was delicious... and the paella was to die for! When an American says that their wagyu burger is one of the best burgers they've ever had, you believe them. Make reservations for dinner as it is a favorite to many, and not a very large space.

    The environment of the restaurant is good. It seems that there is a restaurant that Messi has been to. The ingredients of the dish is fresh and the taste is good. The price is not too cheap. This restaurant has a minimum service charge of 10%.

    Chicken Paella
    Stephany M.

    Was recommended this spot for the paella. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because a lot of the dishes were sold out by the time our reservation came around. Had to settle for a chicken paella which was very tasty but not the paella I imagined I would be trying. It wasn't very fancy but from what we heard the lamb and seafood paella they make are their star dishes, probably why they sold out. Would love to come back and give them a second chance. The paellas are personal size, even though it looks huge it's a thin layer of rice on a really big pan.

    Paella for two

    We went to this restaurant to try rice dishes famous to Barcelona. We had the ham and cheese croquettes which were the best we had the entire trip and we shared a seafood paella. Both were delicious. The restaurant was comfortable and the staff were very friendly. I would recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a higher end paella experience

    Good paella, excellent atmosphere with lot of original signed jerseys from footballers. Be prepared to spend an average of over €50 per pax without wine to have some feels. Uniqueness: 9/10 Cuisine: 8/10 Service: 9/10 Value: 8/10

    Seafood Paella
    Candice R.

    My husband and I came here four years ago and we still remember how perfect everything tasted. Since then, we have recommended here for the best paella and grilled octopus in Barcelona to a handful of friends and family who have visited, and they have all agreed that it was the best. We visited Barcelona recently, and it was even more delicious than we remembered. The service from the staff was welcoming, attentive, and exceptional. The ambiance is beautiful and welcoming. Most importantly, the food was approved by our 15 month old toddler who even tried to grab paella from my plate after he finished his.

    Very good delicious authentic Spanish food, cozy and beautiful environment with artwork related to Barcelona, a little pricey.

    Paradiso is one of the Top 50 Bars in the world and rightfully so! From the decor and service, to…read morethe unique cocktail menu, everything about this place was perfect. I came around 5pm on a Saturday, and it only took 20 minutes to get in. The bartenders were super friendly and spoke english which was a bonus. Their menu is constantly changing, so I forget the names of the drinks we ordered, but I also ordered a regular old fashion and they nailed it. I noticed another guest being a little rude to one of the bartenders. She was complaining about her drink so they made a new one, and another one after that. Had it been me, I probably would've gave up and asked them to leave lol, but they did not. Instead the opposite, which is very telling of the type of service you'll receive at this place. Overall this was my favorite cocktail bar in Spain, would I go again? Absolutely!

"How did they make this taste like that?" But for enjoying some twists on craft cocktail making? Not so great. Despite a wall full of both rare and classic bottles, most of what's featured on the menu is...eccentric at best. I had two after discussion with the bartender, and both were okay but not what I would enjoy drinking despite having a very broad palate. Although famously ranked by "50 best", this is a lot different than other cocktail bars on that list (I've visited quite a few of them), including the others in Barcelona. Perhaps having hit the number one spot before, they didn't know where to go from there? Nice staff but also missing was bartender banter (at least in English) I've found at most top bars - the bar experience is heavily about that interaction, especially for the solo customer. A positive - drinks are actually cheaper than fancy hotel bars in this city. What they offer *would* be great as a liquid tasting menu and I would return for that. But for full sized cocktails? Meh. Hence the 3 stars. Save it for a date or a "famous bars" crawl, but not for having delicious drinks that tickle the palate while getting the job done.

    Really enjoyed this bar and we can see why it's been named in the top 50 bars…read more The bartender was really engaging with the people which we enjoyed. The drinks were 8/10 The ambiance was generic but we had a good time. Definitely recommend trying it.

    Wow did we want to give this place 5 stars…read more The bartenders were great and welcoming and the decor was very cool. It is a pleasant place to be physically. All of the cocktails we tried were excellent (we had two more not featured on photos here). We went Sunday 4/19 around open (5pm ish until 7:30 ish). However, our experience was sort of ruined when a female employee came over and chided my wife and two other American patrons we were talking to for being too loud. They weren't being particularly loud and at this point we were the only four people sitting at the bar itself. She was not a bartender (at that time at least) and she completely ruined our vibe with this complaint. She had been eyeing one of the other American patrons we had been talking to before she came over and confronted my wife after she laughed. The bar tenders didn't seem to be aware this happened and when we were closing out they remarked they didn't think we had been loud and that they like their guests to have fun. This female employee apparently didn't get the memo! We sense that perhaps she just dislikes Americans, which would be rich for working at an establishment like this! She also had no issues when a dog other guests brought in barked loudly multiple times, each time silencing the entire bar because the barks were so booming. The other American couple felt the same way -- the stern talking to just ruined the experience for all four of us. So... great spot but our experience was unnecessarily tarnished by a jerk employee!!!
