I have eaten here many times while in town. Their food is always fresh, delicious and amazing! I've had everything from the catch of the day to octopus. My favorite is getting many dishes and sharing with everyone at our table! Definitely worth the stop in here and I will always be back! read more

Great octopus. Even better service. Although you could think the Villa Olímpica is a tourist trap (it can be), this restaurant has great prices. Don't miss the octopus, did I mention that? read more

Didn't even get to order the food because this guy was the Worse server ever!! After the gentleman outside convinced us to come in, we told him that we'd check out the sangria and would decide if we want to try the food afterwards. Hubby and I came in, ordered the sangria then decided NOT to order any food. When we told the server our plans of only drinking, he literally came over and snatched every single item off our table; napkins, folks, knives, half eaten complementary bread, olives...everything (and with an attitude). There are way too many options to ever try this place again with that type of service. read more

Delicious paella and crema Catalina by the marina! The staff were so warm and welcoming to me, even though my Spanish is somewhat abysmal. So many places in Barcelona I felt like people were trying to take advantage of me as a foreigner, but here I felt like a respected guest. Definitely recommend! read more

This place is soooo cute!!!! I loved all the lights everywhere and all the workers were extremely nice I definitely loved that! I asked for the peeled seafood paella and I think they forgot because the shrimp wasn't peeled and it was really nasty looking but other than that it was cool. The paella was ok but my brother in law ordered the black rice paella and that one was really good! read more

RACIST. One waiter just grabbed my friend's bag WITHOUT our permission and showed it to another guest. They were talking in Spanish but I heard the word Chino and I asked him to stop. He tried to laugh it of. There's nothing funny about that you racist sob Also they tried to sell us dishes which are not on the menu. We politely refused but it could be scam as other reviews mentioned. read more

Run Away! This restaurant is in a beautiful setting on the beach, the raw bar looks fantastic, and this is what drew us in...and why not? As soon as we sat down, we weren't really dealing with waiters, we were dealing with (in the genre of) slimey used car salesmen. They knew we wanted seafood and they immediately took us off the menu....and (in the end) it became negotiation. They bring out all the beautiful seafood and a live (huge) lobster--very appealing. All of a sudden the $30 Euro and $45 Euro menu meals lead a "push" towards a $250 Euro plate (There are no typos here). At the end of this negotiation, I chose a $108 Euro plate (for one person). The food arrived--it wasn't hot. Most of the food was lukewarm at best and say 20% was just plain cold. Despite enjoying Barcelona and many great meals, this is the worst of the worst. Run away.... read more

We chose to eat at La Taberna Gallega more or less because the man approaching passersby seemed a bit nicer (dare I say, sincere? Not the right word, but just less annoying than the rest.) in his pitch of the place. Walking down this gangway can be pretty irritating, as all the owners and waitstaff try to lure you to their restaurant. They seated us on the gangway - don't make this mistake. The rose-sellers and the crappy-souvenier-sellers won't give you a moment of peace. At least sit in the second row of tables, if not inside. We had Galicien grilled scallops and Galicien grilled octopus. Both were decent, though the scallops were dripping with butter and oil. Tomato bread seemed to come with the meal, as we didn't order it but they brought a plate. When the bill came, though, we were charged for it. Maybe this is customary - it didn't bother us, as it was good and goes so well with the meal. But heads up to those who don't like such things in service. Overall cost was high. The quality of the fish was good; the preparation, unexciting. Not totally disappointing, per se, but we wouldn't go again. And if we do -- lesson learned...no sitting on the public walkway! read more

Tried 3 restaurants here on the pier during our trip and this was the best of the three but not an outstanding place. The steaks were good, the octopus was clearly the favorite of the night and highly recommended. The sangria was also amazing with a crisp clear snap at the end. This is a solid place with good waitstaff. Overpriced like everything else on the pier.... It's good solid seafood and local dishes in a nice atmosphere. read more

Although the service was good- the food was very bland and the prices were a bit high. Will not suggest it. But if you go the sangria and paella are good. read more

We only had "tapas". The food was fresh and the portions were good size. We are going to dine here later. The place is touristy but i see a lot of locals here too. read more

Excellent, excellent experience with great service and delicious food. Chicken soup and goat cheese salad very good. The octopus was tender and flavorful and I don't even like octopus. Great green sauce clams. Top notch sangria. We always had our glasses full. I highly recommend La Taberna Gallega at Port Olímpica. Best food ever. Magdalena was absolutely wonderful. Even the bathroom was really nice, and clean. Yummy almond cake. Fabulous atmosphere too. Go there! read more

BEWARE! They will try to scam you; you can find a number of reviews similar to mine on google. My wife and I are tourists, and initially only stopped in for some Sangria. It was pretty evident that this place was a tourist trap, but were tired and in the area. It is worth noting that our waiter spoke very good English, so there was no language barrier. Right off the bat, the waiter tried to get us to place our drink order before handing over the menu that he was holding. Looking back it was definitely a red flag, but seemed harmless at the time. We got our drinks, and after seeing some dishes come out to other patrons, we decided that we wanted to split an order of paella. Given the fraudulent tourist trap vibe, I knew that I had to be very clear about what we wanted: a single order of paella for the two of us to split. After telling the waiter this, he tried to be slick and said, "Okay, paella for two." To which I responded, "No, one order to split," while simultaneously pointing at the menu item/price. Throughout the meal, they tried to bring items to our table that we did not order, in a clear attempt to simply get us to eat them, so they could then charge us. We didn't budge. Finally, the bill comes out, and they try to charge us for a double order of paella. I then had to call the waiter over and remind him of my order, and that he needed to correct the bill. He tried to fight me on it a bit, but ultimately took the item off. So again, do not go here because they are highly unethical in their practices, as they very clearly try to rip off folks from out of town. read more

Highly recommend this port side restaurant for the best paella in Barcelona! It's located in the Olympic port which is beautiful & nice to walk around in. We had both paella negra and the traditional seafood one and loved them both. read more

Ordered a pasta bolognes and received pasta carbonara .. plates and cups were dirty when we first sat down .. asked him if he could give me another plate and it was dirtier than the one before .. as for the food, it was honestly disgusting. Pasta was extremely watery and the sauce itself tasted terrible. I also tasted my boyfriend's pizza margarita and it tasted like cardboard. However, the atmosphere of the restaurant itself and the waiters were wonderful and very welcoming. read more

Great food, pre fix menu of only 19Euro was amazing. Good choices, attentive wait staff, great atmosphere - right on the boardwalk.

The first thing that one of the front of the house people say to me, at 4 the menu ends, so... Get in! What?!?!? That's not the first word you need to say to the costumers ! I'm not eating there for sure read more

This is a good place if you find you need to have a meal on the pier. The fresh fish is great when paired with a fruity white wine and the view. As others have posted, just getting to the entrance is a challenge as the hawkers and pressure from the other restaurants can be annoying. Once there, settle in and enjoy the view and Catalan hospitality. read more
