Large open space with open kitchen - really lovely to see it all being made along with the experience of the sounds and smells. We ordered the tomato bread and classic Senyoret paella which is the seafood paella already peeled. I didn't feel like getting too messy . The paella was incredibly tasty, the rice done perfectly! Highly recommend. The tomato bread was meh Service is why it's getting 4 stars. It wasn't terrible, but definitely wasn't great. We sat for over 25 minutes trying to close out for our next reservation. read more

Honestly it is not a bad Paella restaurant BUT is it worth the price? Absolutely NOT! It's forced you to get paella for 2 people minimum so whatever paella you chose , price would be times 2. None of my family would like paella, only me so I have to pay 2 person price cause of their stupid rule. The seafood was undercooked too for being " it's takes 30 minutes to cook paella's " sign on menu. Oh also don't get me started for the portion.... You know I didn't expect ONE grain layer of rice Good lord! If I m paying for " two" people price maybe you can do 2-3 layer of rice grain. We came during shift change. After we sitted by the host, none of the waiter came to get any drink first , we were waiting for a good 45 minutes, until i just really annoyed that we were not acknowledged . I understand they doing "huddle" during shift change BUT you still have customers, it is important to have other employees stand by and still "serve" cuz guess what people???! guest pay for your salary. Overall it's overpriced restaurant, you probably can pay less somewhere else People "rave" cuz of the ambience, it's a just a fancy restaurant but I won't spend my money there cuz you can get same food with better quality somewhere else BUT better service! read more

MANÁ 75 - Dobby watching you - Mediterranean Near Me - Barcelona, B

When in Barcelona this place is a must. Be sure to make a reservation at this place books quick and it is very trendy. Absolutely gorgeous decor inside and we can see why people come here. Fried olives to start was a first, can't say I've ever tried ir before but somehow it works. Since we've pretty much been stuffing our face all day in Spain we decided on only two appetizer for a group of four instead of the usual 10 appetizers of so. Classic patatas Bravas and croquetas de jamon were ordered and it didn't disappoint. We decided to order two different paellas... the classic al mar which is seafood based and a chorizo y Puerco version. The classic version was amazing but what really stole the show was the pork version. The socarrat (crispy, carmelized layer of rice) was perfectly done. Not a single grain of rice was left behind as both paella pans were wiped clean! Crema Catalana to finish the night for dessert and what a perfect ending. read more

MANÁ 75 was a great lunch option to eat in Barceloneta Beach. If it's your first time trying paella, you have plenty of options to choose from. It does take about half an hour for them to prepare for it you, so ordering some starters are highly recommended. - Andalusian style squids with kimchi mayonnaise: it was definitely worded in a fancier way than "calamari with spicy mayo." lol it was good, but don't expect anything special. - Seasonal tomato salad with tuna belly: I honestly wished the tuna belly was prepared differently. Slightly overcooked, but personally would've preferred sashimi style. - Sea bream carpaccio with smoked oil: this was good. would recommend and get again. - Seafood paella "senyoret": tasty, well seasoned, good shrimps. I just wished there was more socarrat (crunchy caramelized bottom). Not sure if that's more of a specific region way of cooking paella. Would still recommend trying. Was torn between this and several other paellas they offer. Large restaurant space with modern decor. Able to accommodate all parties - small to large. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Walkable to the beach. Friendly staff that speak English very well. Tourist friendly with English menus. Fairly fast service. Would recommend coming to visit! read more

Located along the beach, across from the W Hotel, this is a hot spot for locals. We saw at least 4 Bridal Showers, and many special occasions for Happy couples. I was in search of authentic Catalonian food and found a gem of a restaurant. They say that really good paella takes time to cook, and the waiter will warn you that your paella is minimum 30 minute cook time. Trust me, this place is worth the wait! This was the most delicious Paella- Norwegian lobster and scallops, which was in a rich saffron rice sauce. The Steak Tatar was absolutely amazing and paired well with the Pa amb tomàquet (which literally translates to "bread with tomato" in Catalan). Instead of bread, they provided deep fried olives! read more

Nom Nom Nom Nom! What Lunch with a couple of co-workers (total 4). We had lots of tapas and then paella for 3 (shared with 4). The mussels were really good! The little fishes were also very good. The croquettes were okay to me. The paella was good - the seafood tasted good, the rice had different level of cooked depending on where it was. Overall I really enjoyed the mussels, the rice and fish. Environment Located right by the W hotel, this was a great spot, nicely decorated interiors. Very brunch like if you'd ask me, very fitting for a lunch paella with a sangria? Niceness of the staff Super nice staff to attend to 3 foreigners. Loved the hospitality - loved the dessert display instead of a menu. I was able to see what I want. Dollar It was decently prized I guess. Yes I would return here just for the fish and mussels! read more

Heard alot about Mana 75 and this place did not disappoint. Had a reservation for dinner and we were promptly seated. We ordered their seafood paella, patatas bravas, sangria and they gave us fried olives which was stuffed with anchioves. The food was amazing. Paella - divine and full of flavors, the fried olives - delish, the sangria - fruity and tasty but the patatas bravas was simply amazing with the sauces - crave worthy. Service was great. All in all we had a great first night at Mana 75 which gave us an authentic taste of Spain. read more

Wanted to try some really good paella and came here for lunch just as it opened. We opened for the paella with the noodles and with the shells on the seafood. Presentation was great and it was a nice lunch special with a starter too. The staff was very nice and friendly and attentive. They also gave me a free dessert since we were celebrating my birthday. It all was a pretty good lunch deal. I definitely recommend! read more

The ambiance at this restaurant is beautiful with a stylish interior that initially made me feel hopeful about the meal to come. Unfortunately, the food was a major letdown and ultimately a health concern. Even our waitress was surprisingly rude and dismissive, which only made the overall experience more disappointing. I ordered the seafood paella, and while it was plated well, the flavor was far from authentic. The seafood did not taste fresh as it had an off-putting aftertaste. A few hours after the meal, my friend (who also had the paella) began experiencing severe stomach issues, which continued into the next day. It was clear he had come down with food poisoning. I called the restaurant the following day to inform them, not to demand anything, but simply let them know what had happened so they could investigate and take precautions. While the person I spoke to apologized and said the kitchen would follow up, I never heard back from the kitchen. What was supposed to be a nice night out ended up ruining the next couple of days for both of us. There are plenty of other local spots that serve fresher, more authentic food. I recommend dining at Can Solé for delicious mouthwatering paella. read more

Located near the Sea, this beautifully decorated restaurant with its mixture of textiles on the walls, ceilings, and seating invites you inside like a warm and lovely Mediterranean living room. The service was attentive and on-point. The menu, varied and showcasing their "must" order: paella. So that's what we ordered: chicken and shrimp paella with green asparagus. 30+ minutes later, paella cooked with seasoning and soul was delivered to our table, and it was absolutely delightful! Until then, the Spanish potatoes salad was a treat: potato salad, but add peas, tomatoes, and tuna?! I mean, come on: mind blown and yet, I'd order it again. And the patatas bravas, this is now one of my favorite authentic Spanish dishes! Top it off with a sangria that sneaks up on you, and you'll probably only want to order one, not two. Definitely worth the visit! read more

I was recommended by our Taxi driver about Mana 75. He said the paella was superb, I had to check it out before going to W Barcelona. It was 4 pm on a Sunday and this restaurant was completely packed. The hostess gave us a table immediately since a 3:30 pm reservation didn't show up. The server Jon K was efficient, recommended some entrees. Vegetable paella - good, not as savory as I would have liked. Impressive display of paella for the large orders. Ham croquettes and the Bomba de la Barceloneta was excellent. Ambience- there were so many large parties celebrating their birthdays- this appeared to be a special place for family gatherings. read more

Really well decorated and appealing to the eye. Located near the beach and next to the "W" Hotel. Open kitchen and good food. Our waiter was Wilbur and while proficient he was not friendly or welcoming. Rather off-putting. The food was good, the tables are very close and the atmosphere light. Not a repeat dining experience. But the food was well prepared and good Jlane read more

The food was incredible but maybe the absolute worst service I have ever experienced in a restaurant. It was about 5 PM on a Friday. Not really busy. The host just was rude and indifferent, and we sat for 10 minutes before anyone approached our table. Getting a cocktail took forever. The food was really amazing though. Then we waited for someone to clear the plates or bring a check. Eventually we just went to the front desk to pay. Did I mention the food was incredible? Just be prepared really bad service read more

I had an amazing time at Mana 75 for my best friends birthday. The food is truly outstanding and a great place to get some authentic food from Spain.

Paella was awesome here. Cocktails too. Overall is a great experience and accommodates large groups for 7 to 8 ppl on round tables. Close to the beachfront boardwalk type of a stretch which was amazing to walk after. read more

I would not recommend. Service was impersonal and uncaring. Well below expectations at a higher end restaurant like this. We had Wilber as our waiter who was disinterested and emotionless. There was nothing fun or interesting about eating here. Paella was average and overpriced. Try 7 Portes instead. read more

The waiter was absolutely so kind and very patient given language and fact we were going to order way too much food. What's cool about this restaurant is they cook the paella right where you can see it. The paella chicken and shrimp was shared between 3 people and was so filling. Only reason it wasn't a four was because when making the reservation we thought sitting outside would be better but in fact it was freezing, and we couldn't be moved in side, on the bright side there was heaters which was definitely a plus ! In all I recommend make sure to book a reservation read more

There is so much food and so many choices in Barcelona, we narrowed our Paella restaurant search to the three top recommended, ultimately we chose Mana 75 due to its proximity to the water & it's reviews. To sum it up, this was a humbling experience. If you're staying at the W, attending a conference, or want to feel like your in Miami w/ sub par food and service... this is your spot! We went for lunch & ordered tomatoes w/ tuna (this dish was nice, but too big for two people planning to have paella afterwards), potatoes brava (skip this & order the mussel lasagna), paella (will talk about this more in next paragraph), desserts were okay... more about this later. The paella. They have quite a few options. We ordered the "Caribanero" paella, which is basically the seafood paella w/ two big shrimp (almost like mini lobsters). The waiter explained that people prefer it because it's more flavorful. The paella wasn't that flavorful at all, and the small oysters & mussels (three of each) were as dry as you can imagine. The desserts were average at best. We ordered espressos to go with the dessert, but they never came. This was the overall theme of the meal. Food, but no drinks. Water was never brought to our table until the end of the meal, even after asking multiple times. The bottle of wine we ordered (before appetizers were brought out) wasn't delivered until we were halfway through our paella. Again, we had to ask multiple waiters where our drinks were. Eh... lessons learned, but at 160 euro, if this review can save you (whoever's reading this) time & money... then I guess it's worth it. Look at my other reviews from Barcelona to find some cool, worthwhile spots. read more

Our (100+ year old) favorite paella restaurant in Barcelona is closed on Tuesday - which just happened to be when some dear friends were visiting, and we wanted to give them an authentic paella experience. Hello, Maná 75! Located between the W Hotel and the marina, this place is elegant. The dining area is spacious and well appointed; diners can view the kitchen from just about any seat in the restaurant. The wait staff are very prompt and courteous, and multilingual. (The menus are also available in a variety of languages.) They have a full bar and a pretty nice wine list. The axiom that "If your paella comes out in less than 20 minutes, you should RUN!" is not a problem here. They do NOT have batches made up in advance. Each paella is cooked to order, and not begun until the order has been placed. ...which worked out well, giving us ample time to enjoy some starters. We enjoyed the "Boquerones" (anchovies fried in olive oil with a light batter), the "Donostiarran Style Clams" (delicious) and the Steamed Mussels - too good to pass up! The four of us shared a "Seafood Paella Senyoret." The "senyoret" designation simply means that the kitchen has taken care of plucking the shrimp, clams and mussels from their shells for you. The rice is locally sourced - it comes from the Delta del Ebro, roughly 100 miles to the south. This special "bomba" rice is perfect for soaking up the wonderful broth that is at the heart of a good paella. It was... extraordinary. So... upscale, with impeccable service and wonderful food and an excellent dessert cart. What's not to love? read more

Unfortunately, was looking forward to a good paella in Barcelona based on reviews and ended up extremely disappointed. Ordered the tomato salad with tuna belly and tomatoes didn't appear to be fresh and tuna was like cat food. Ordered the paella (min 2 person) which they provided me a paella for 1 person and charged full price. Paella was worst I've ever had - burnt all throughout and all seafood was WAY overcooked. Service was mediocre at best. I hate writing this review but for 64 euro, go somewhere else. read more

When in Barcelona, you get Paella. My date and I shared the seafood paella (cleaned the pan), tomato bread, Papatas Bravas, and Iberian ham. I've had every dish mentioned before venturing to Barcelona, but Maná 75 took it up a notch or 3. The service was quick, the martinis were dirty and inexpensive, and the ambience was bright, all while not taking away from the intimacy. I'd definitely come back when in Barcelona. read more

Over all great place. However, the front guest greeters were very rude. We had placed a reservation for 4:15 we the realized that we were not going to make it so we canceled our reservation and made a new one for the same day at 5:45 but when we got there they told us that we had to sit outside since the system canceled our earlier reservation as well as the later one When we finally got seated the server took ~10 minutes to get there which by no means was his fault. It was the front desk forgot that we existed and didn't input the data into the system. We only go served because a server on break was hanging out at the back and passed us sitting outside on his way to the front. The salmon guacamole was delicious but it was a little too much with the paella ( even though I did stab my gum with a tortilla chip). The paella looks huge but is incredibly shallow we got a black paella because our server recommended it. It was supposed to be super flavorful but it just had a very fishy flavor. For drinks I got a glass of champagne which was amazing and my daughter had an apple juice which was good too but very small read more

Vivo en Barcelona desde hace varios años. Recibo muchos anuncios de Maná 75, principalmente en Instagram. Pensé que deberíamos probarlo. Los entrantes estaban buenos, el arroz estaba bueno, le doy tres estrellas por el servicio y la falta de atención de los gerentes a los clientes no españoles. TODAS las mesas "españolas" cercanas a la nuestra recibieron algún tipo de bebida de agradecimiento entregada por el gerente al finalizar su comida. Además, se detuvo para hablar con ellos y preguntarles sobre su comida. Nosotros no. Si bien hablamos español, no somos españoles. Aparentemente tiene un problema con los canadienses. No me gusta gastar 125 € en un almuerzo y que no me aprecien. Esperamos dos años para probar Maná 75, puede que pase más tiempo antes de que volvamos. read more

This is the place you go to on your first night in Barcelona. Your expectations are super low so you'll be impressed. Then when you venture off the touristy beach area and into the city, you'll realize how much better the food is over there and glad you didn't end your trip on this place. Anyways, my company had an all hands in Barcelona recently and we stayed at the W hotel down the street. We had our team dinner here. The space is really nice, staff are friendly although missing for most of the event, but the food was really lackluster. The paella - literally overcooked rice with a few pieces of protein. I'm use to paella that has a lot of veggies and protein added in so it's rich in texture and flavors. I couldn't eat this. Otherwise, we had a lot of appetizers and some desserts that I completely skipped out on. Appetizers: * Truffled Spanish potato salad - I didn't taste any truffles, and it tasted exactly like what I'd get in the US. * Iberian ham croquettes - this was baked and actually pretty good. I wish they had more of this. * Tomato salad with tuna belly - the tuna belly tasted and looked like canned tuna, and it was mostly tomato. * Fresh green veggie salad - Just another salad. It was fine. * Andalusian style squid with kimchi mayo - fried calamari that was really hard and chewy as it was a tad overcooked. read more
