Youngest daughter didn't really like it but she's not very adventurous with food. With reservations, we got a table in the back. Lots of ceiling fans kept us from being too hot.

I've tried so many paellas around the city, and this one is hands down the BEST! The flavor is unmatched. You will never find something like this elsewhere. It doesn't even matter which paella you order, they're all that good. Do yourself a favor and get the oxtail too. It's incredibly tender and absolutely delicious. I truly love this place and highly recommend!

No wait and we were seated immediately upon entering. Around 11:30pm-12am it got BUSY, like packed with every table occupied. Our server was so super kind, compared to the spot we came from, and we ordered a seafood paella (paella de marisco) which was $11.90/pp, min. 2 ppl to order the dish, and the pulpo octopus dish w/ potatoes. ***We had a four person table but still were able to order a 2 person portion for the paella. *** The paella was exceptional! Incredibly flavorful and rice itself had very good flavor. Not dry at all & was one of the better paellas I've tried in Barna. The octopus was soft and cooked well. Nicely seasoned and potatoes were tasty. Wasn't a fan of the sparkling water though. Probably should've just gotten still water or a soda/wine. It had a weird taste to it. Overall, great & memorable meal! Both dishes we tried were delish ;)

We've been searching for good paella and this spot is pretty good! It's right outside Mercat La…read moreBoqueria. It's one of those eateries that isn't open late night and also closed on Sundays. So it's a good spot for early lunch, midday meal, or early dinner (10am-5pm). We got here for an early dinner after a long day of sightseeing! We definitely came at an off hour, so we didn't have to fight for a table. ***OUR PICKS*** GASPACHO ~ cold soup of tomato, pepper, cucumber, onion, garlic and vinegar. Refreshing soup especially on this hot summer day. 4/5 GRILLED PRAWNS ~ Fresh tasting and perfectly cooked! Flavorful and yummy! 5/5 PAELLA BARCELONETA ~ tasty rice and seafood! The rice was al dente and seafood done just right and remained tender. 5/5 Our server was helpful to recommend a dessert spot for us. Very nice and accommodating! Highly recommend this paella bar!

They have menus in various languages and some of the servers can speak English. We had the Ensalada Mixta which was a large salad of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red pepper, onion, egg, olives, corn and radicchio. Came undressed with olive oil and vinegar on the side. Plenty for two or even three people. Also had the breaded fried artichoke - so good. Then the seafood paella especial. Loaded with prawns, clams, mussels and other assorted tidbits. Ate it with some good bread on the side and glasses of white wine. So much excellent food. Maybe we will have gelato for dinner. It sounded like they don't take reservations. Friendly staff.

Every dish was delicious, and you can taste the local sourcing of the fresh food. Once again, we had the focaccia with tomato which is are now go to appetizer/tapa. So fresh and so delicious.

3rd try is the charm for sure! Had steak at 2 other tapas restaurants and was not impressed with…read morethe quality but had high hopes as this space received so many great reviews. We arrived shortly after opening and there were a few non reserved tables so we promptly snagged a table in the back. The space is small but charming. I would highly recommend making reservations because you do not want to miss this experience. We ordered several dishes and as each one was brought to the table it was evident from plating and scent alone that we were going to be satisfied. Satisfied is not generally what I strive for when dining out on vacation. I want to be transported to the culture and flavor profiles through food. Dinner here was incredible from the attentive but non pretentious service to the sheer quality and preparation of the food. A great date night spot while visiting Barcelona! They prepare your steak how you ask for it and serve it by portions of 100grams. You order the weight you want. Yes, it was very nice to meat you we also ordered the stuffed potato, gnocci, fried provolone and croquette. All solid choices and would absolutely order again.

Staff were friendly and spoke Spanish and some French to my French colleague. In terms of food, it was more spanish and less tapas so no sharing dishes. We ordered: * Mushroom croquettes to share - I'm not a mushroom fan but these were fantastic. So rich in flavor and super creamy. * They're known for their meat dishes so look at the black section of their menu. * I ordered the Bass (I'm pregnant so there's a lot I can't have right now), but it was delicious. Perfectly cooked, I'd order this again even if I'm not pregnant. * Someone in my group ordered the salmon tartar and said it was good. * Most everyone ordered the Baked Picaton - baked chicken. You get a whole chicken that's about the size of a smaller cornish hen. They all raved about it. Otherwise they take card or cash, just make sure you call them over to pay as they won't come back to check on you otherwise like they do in the US.

Close to Sagreda Familia. They have a small outdoor eating area on the street as well as a really…read morebig indoor dining area. I love the design inside. Feels homey. I love the pig legs hung up on the walls. No smoking inside so thats a nice change of pace, unlike the streets. Customer service is definitely not up to par as in the US. But thats ok. Were in Baecelona. They are quick to get your order. Paella takes 30 min to come out which they tell you. They spend the majority of the other time running around busy, which means they basically leave you alone borderline ignore you. We had to flag them down multiple times to put in more drink orders. But I guess I didnt come here for service. They also kept bringing the wrong tables food to our table at the beginning, which was kinda annoying. But food and drinks do come out quickly, and I appreciate them telling me that paellas takes about 30 min to come out. But the food was amazing. And the drinks were the best drinks we've had on vacation these past 3 weeks in over 3 countries and 5 cities, which is saying a lot. Enough to overcome the service issues. We had the following amazing dishes: 1. Paella de marisco- like any other paella places, its for 2 people, and the price is x2. Its a really large dish. Comes served in cast iron. It smells amazing and tastes even more amazing!! Good amount of seafood. Rice is cooked well. I love the sauce its in. And the cast iron really crisps up the bottom of the rice really well. And who doesnt love crunchy rice, it really gives it a nice texture and adds a different dimension and flavor. 2. Grilled squid- whole baby squids grilled. Not burnt. Cooked well, not chewy. I love the pesto sauce its in. And the lemon you squeeze over it just puts it over the top. Very well done. Great appetizer. Came out super quick. 3. Fried potatoes in garlic aioli. The potatoes were cooked well. I didnt care for the aioli sauce. I much prefer the bravas sauce instead. But also a good appetizer that came out quickly. The drinks were so good. We ordered 4 different drinks. At first I was just glad they had cocktails on the menu as suppose to just wines or sangria or beer. They have 4 different cocktails. We tried 3 of them and they were just so good!! Truly amazing. Perfect balance of sweetness and alcohol. 1. Sex on the beach- looks pretty. Tastes amazing. Super refreshing. Sweet but in a good way. A must order. 2. Tinto de verano- really good sangria mixed with lemon soda. It was very smooth. Tasted great. I really enjoyed it. It was such a nice mouth feel. Really refreshing and light. 3. Mojito- this one was good too. What a mojito should taste like. Not alcohol forward. And way at the bottom, little sugar crystals. It was very good. And cold!! 4. Sangria- didnt care too much for this one. It was ok. Had better. Overall the food was amazing. They didnt offer us any desserts. Which I'm sad about because I wpulsbe ordered some. We had some left overs which was good for a late night meal. All that we ordered came out to 80 something euros which I dont think is bad at all!! Really enjoyed the food, and for the drinks alone, I would come back!!

They have an open concept kitchen where you can watch them make the paella and there's a stool to take pictures. Our group got the 4 course meal and everything was fantastic, but I absolutely loved the crudo. I would have to say that my favorite paella was the noodle dish because of the texture and how much it soaked up the flavors. Would highly recommend a visit here for an upscale paella experience.
