We came around 4pm and…read moredidn't have to wait too long and since we opted for the next available seating, we got to sit in the sun for 1.5 hours with no umbrella or shade. So bring your sunscreen. Service: kind of slow. But I get it-they're busy. What I don't get is all the trash on the floor. Clearly visible yet every staff member just walks by and doesn't pick up napkins that flew away, etc. Food: 1. Croquette tapas - crispy outside, the seafood filling inside was just alright 2. Patatas with garlic aioli - heaven!! 3. Calamari fried in batter - disappointed because the batter was SOGGY when it arrived to the table 4. Tallarinas - tasty but sandy when I got to the bottom of the plate Main dish: Arroz Marinero (18.95€/per person) WAY too expensive. Although it was good, it wasn't mind blowing and certainly not worth the price. Large selection of desserts

We tried speaking Spanish but weren't doing that well Every food item we got was amazing.

The price for all that we enjoyed made it that much better! We got 2 desserts, an appetizer, an entree and a few alcoholic beverages. Very good price for the quality and amount of food you get. The restaurant was very bright and open and just a lot of fun and good energy. We would love to come back next time we visit Spain.

I wanted one thing on this fine day, grilled seafood. I did a little looking and found this very popular spot with a line so I queued up. It's set up kinda like a mini fish market, bowls of fresh caught seafood sitting on ice, you choose which ones you want, how much you want, and how you want it prepared. I did come here twice and both times I landed between €50 to €60 so it's not cheap per se. I had their prawns, langoustine, scallop, and octopus all styled a la plancha with some salsa verde and olive oil drizzled over top. Everything was incredible. I genuinely have no nitpicks because there's nothing to nitpick. The seafood was fresh as can be, the garlicky salsa verde and lemon wedge made it nice and vibrant as well. The seafood was perfectly grilled. If I had to choose one though the langoustine was my favorite. It's very delicate in texture and flavor with a nice bit of sweetness in the meat. Next time I'm in Barcelona I will go out of my way to stop here again.

This restaurant was literally right next to our stay in Barcelona--skipping it felt like a crime,…read moregiven the rave reviews. So, on a rainy afternoon, we gave it a shot. We arrived just after lunch opening and were the first customers. The guy at the counter was... efficient. He simply told us to pick what we wanted, tossed it in a bin, and that was that. No explanation of pricing or preparation methods. When we asked how they'd cook it, he casually offered "fried or grilled." Obviously, we chose grilled--why fry fresh seafood? We picked two giant prawns, two octopus tentacles, and two fish (since hubby can't have shellfish). He asked if we wanted salad or soup--reviews hyped the soup, so we went with that. Then he handed us a receipt, told us we were order #3, and sent us to the bar. At the bar, we ordered two sangrias and a water. The bartender asked if we wanted bread and sauce. Sure, why not? We assumed they were included. Surprise! The tiny baguettes cost €0.50 each, and the mystery "house sauce" (a questionable mix of thousand island and horseradish) was an extra €1. We only realized the charge when we saw the total: €73. Oh well, too late now. Then came the food pickup experience--chaotic, to say the least. The server practically barked at us to bring our receipt, aggressively crossed off items, and handed over soups and octopus, crammed onto a greasy tray. No effort at plating, just food haphazardly dumped onto plates. The second round--grilled fish and prawns--was more of the same. Now, the verdict: Soup (5/5) - Delicious and reasonably priced at €6. Would order again. Bread & Sauce (0/5) - Not free, not worth it. Hard pass. Octopus (€31.80 for two tentacles, 1/5) - Overpriced, greasy, and drowning in molten salt. Basically, eating a sodium bomb. Grilled Fish (€10.50 & €8.50, 3/5) - Decent, but unnecessarily oily. Grilled Prawns (€5.59, 0/5) - Mushy, not fresh, and borderline inedible. Final thoughts? Not worth it. With so many incredible food spots in Barcelona, why waste your meal quota here? If you want quality seafood, go to Cervecería Catalana--we spent €5 more, but a meal a thousand times better. Spend wisely and eat like a king.

I think you are paying more for the experience of picking out the items. It seems like a bit of a tourist trap. It was early on during my trip, so I didn't know better at that point. It's also partially underground, so the atmosphere is nothing great which is a shaven when you're right by the beach. Surprisingly, the best dish was the fried calamari. It was so tender inside and crispy outside. It actually had flavor unlike most of the frozen stuff in the states. The octopus was my least favorite. It wasn't as tender as it was at other places and had less flavor. Langostines were good, but not as good as ones I had elsewhere. Clams had some shell/grit in them, but the flavor was good. The staff were friendly and helpful when I was trying to decide how much to order. If I return to Sitges, I would try a local restaurant for lunch instead. This place is a chain around the Barcelona area so you can have many opportunities to try it.

Our reserved table for 10 afforded us the ability to order many shared starters before our own entrees came. Favorite starters: *Galacian Octopus (Pulpo Gallego) was perfectly cooked tender, and came with a delicious sauce over sliced potatoes. A friend even ordered it as his entree! *Fried Calamari (Los Calamares) came in cut strips and we are them all. *Marine clams (Las Amejas) were fresh and bathed in a fantastic white wine and garlic. *Cuttlefish with Garlic (Sepia a la Plancha) was grilled whole and I could've eaten one by myself. My entree was Grilled Turbot (Rodaballo a la Plancha). The fish was so huge it was split into four entrees. It was the tastiest fish on my trip. It was perfectly grilled and moist. I had no problem with bones. Grilled Hake (Cogote de Merluza) and Sole were also delcious. For dessert don't pass up the creamy limoncello served in a frozen lemon! I forgot the names of the wines we had but we ran through 5 bottles of amazing Priorat. Since discovering Priorat wines in Sitges, I've been on a mission to find it in the US. It's pretty difficult! Service was spectacular and the wait staff were very personable, as if we were dining in a family's home. La Marinada is the top restaurant on my list when I return to Sitges!
