    Local seafood bar style located in a food market! Must do! You can taste all of Barcelona at this food market. Ramblero has seafood options out for you to select. We tried: oyster - sweet and fresh Lagostine- fresh and perfectly cooked and season. Delicious! I ended up ordering another one! Razor clams - my first time trying this and wow it was fantastic. Chewy and flavorful!! Everything was very fresh and absolutely amazing!! It's a lot going on in term of people and the scene can be intimidating at glance with the amount of people. However, it's a must do and must try. Anything you pick will be the right option!

    Fantastic experience in the Marketo right when you walk into the left, this place is fast and excellent food the tortillas the pulo yeah the sangria were all fantastic. Highly recommend.. Great service !

    The octopus was ok, but a little over seasoned

    I loved this place so much we went back again! Now granted, my friends that ate the raw oysters regretted it the next day, but everything else, I highly recommend. Especially the giant prawns! The Great - The Giant Prawns and the food in general (less the raw oysters) The Good - The servers and friendly and on it! The Bad - It's a tight spot and the bar stools are not comfortable. The Ugly - I guess we have to call out the oysters (ha ha) I cannot wait to travel back to BCN for this place. Oh, also, their Sangria was really good and their beer comes in a huge glass!

    The best Pulpo I have had, so fresh on a bed of potatoes and great sauces to enhance the flavor of the Pulpo. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the market.

    Two words: Seafood Haven! Walk no further this is the place you should stop & feed yourself full. Photos don't even do it justice. Of all the tantalizing food counters & stalls en Boqueria de Mercat, the Ramblero is top quality seafood & prompt full service.

    This place was amazing! We ordered their special which contains calamari, shrimp, lobster, mussels, and tons of other seafood goodies. This was, along with drinks, just roughly above 100 euros. Fresh seafood is hard to come across, specially for the amount of seafood we got for the price. When we come back and visit España, we are definitely coming back to Ramblero.

    Great service, attentive and cheerful. Amazing and lively at the market. Tasty food , best seafood platter.

    Fresh food, quick turn around, great vibe, AMAZING & Delicious sea food. Ask for Molesabi de India....he will give you great service.

    Honestly you can get much fresher and cheaper seafood by the beach in Barcelona (and it's not that far, and way less touristy), but in a pinch this place still gets the job done if you want a quick snack. Combo seafood platter comes with grilled langoustines, red prawns, white prawns, scallop, razor clams, and a bunch of mussels, with some leafy greens and pickled red cabbage thrown in. It's at the front of the market so has high turnover which I assume means the food is probably as fresh as it gets in this (touristy) market.

    I disagree with the ratings, I got the seafood 1 pack and it was a lot of food for 35 dollars; the seafood quality is really high and the shrimp and mussels are very fresh

    Razor clams... order it!

    The freshest seafood you'll find in Barcelona! Why? Because it is located next to a fish market. As a warning, this place isn't cheap! You'll pay as much to eat here as you would in a nice sit down restaurant in Port Olympic or the Barceloneta neighborhood. But dining here is a unique experience due to the high energy of this amazing market. It's a great experience to get under your belt to eat a hearty lunch here and then roam the market afterward. You can opt for a platter to sample a wide range of seafood fare but in Barcelona speak "seafood platter" means a selection of shellfish not including fish whereas the "fish platter" means no shellfish! Although all the seafood is good here I opted for the razor clams and the "bid red prawns" (which are not included in the "seafood platter". These 2 selections are among the best seafood selections you can opt for in Barcelona.

    We love the hustle & bustle of La Boqueria market, so hoped this popular stand would deliver, and they did indeed! Fresh seafood served cold, 'ceviche'd' or fried, none disappointed. We're still salivating remembering the langostas. If sitting at a boisterous counter is your idea of a fun way to discover the bounty of Mediterranean goodies, go!

    I really wanted to try the freshly grilled seafood at the Boqueria so we stopped here as they seemed to have the most seafood choices. Our server offered us the seafood platter for 2, which a lot of people seemed to be ordering, but there were lots of shellfish on the platter I didn't eat, so we passed on it. The seafood is quite fresh and all are pretty tasty. However, the prices for the portion sizes are disproportionate. It's also a terrible mess to get a table - ours was wobbly, as were our stools. Our server was nice, but kept hinting over and over about tipping, which is really unprofessional. We ended up tipping a few euros, but definitely didn't think it was earned nor warranted.

    It's been a decade since I came here for my first Tapas in BCN. This is where I realized there was…read morea lot of my peeps that works there and it's nice to feel at home, lol. This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

    Walking down the street on Rambla and a "Huge Line" has gathered outside Cerveseria Catalana…read more Something special must be happening here to have this big of a crowd waiting. My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

    We had planned to go to a tapas place recommended by our Gaudi House tour guide (Touring Pandas…read moreguide Jekaterina who was EXCELLENT) but the joint had a line of 20+...so we chose to go to my plan B! We were happy to enter the cozy La Alcoba Azul and seated by a smiling host immediately & presented with menus. The interior looks almost like a wine cellar with brick vaulted ceilings. The offerings are best described as fusion tapas but there are a few traditional bites as well. Our waiter presented us with an amuse bouché of pumpkin hummus topped with roasted pepitas on an herbed toasted baguette crisp. DELICIOUS! We confidently ordered the tomato tartare with avocado cream, basil, olive powder and rosemary olive oil caviar as well as a half order of cured Iberican meats featuring chorizo, loin, sausage and ham, an order of the hummus with black olives, parsley, pine nuts and pita triangles. All were terrific! We especially enjoyed the meats and tomato tartare. I enjoyed a red sangria that was satisfying and happened to be topped with cinnamon...a first and welcome addition for me. La Alcoba Azul is a spot we'll keep on our tapas go to list! You shouldn't hesitate to visit.

    For charm points, the inside of this place is exactly the kind of old-world Barcelona restaurant I…read morepictured before coming here. It is tight inside, and we were tucked into the back room, but in a cozy way. Service is slow in that classic European way, not sad slow, but the kind of slow that reminds you to savor the moment because you are on vacation. The menu descriptions were a little vague, so we took a few stabs in the dark. The eggplant dish we ordered ended up being my favorite, and the hummus with lamb was also very good. I usually love olives, but these did not hit for me. They were a bit too dry and firm, so buyer beware if you are picky about olives. All in all, a charming spot for a romantic vacation dinner.

I came here for lunch, and thankfully I didn't have to wait too long before I got seated inside.

While all of the food was great, for me the codfish was hands-down the star of the show and probably one of the best dishes that I ate on the trip. The flavor of the sauce combined with the texture of the fish actually blew me away, and I can see why my server highly recommended this to me. If you just get one things when coming here, definitely make sure not to miss this dish. Highly recommend checking this place out for Spanish tapas, they represent the cuisine well!
