Paella mixta Cheese bread Croquetas  Parillada
Anna J.

We were looking for some sangria and paella one evening and stumbled on this place! We got there and we were able to sit quickly for 4 people. Our waiter was friendly and got us our drinks quickly. I started with the sangria and it was MASSIVE! It was also delicious and worth the price. For the main, we got a mix of things. We got the paella mixta, the croquetas, cheesy garlic bread and the parillada. Overall, the food and portions were good! It was not the most stellar we had during our time in a Spain but it was all just good. Nothing stood out besides the sangria and the croquetas were also delicious! I wish the food stood out more but overall it was just okay! Almost a 4 star but not quite. The inside of the restaurant was nice though and had a good vibe

Had an incredible time dining here. The food was absolutely wonderful--each dish was full of flavor and expertly prepared. The service was exceptional as well, with the staff going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I truly felt taken care of throughout the meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. Ness was our server

Great tasting food. Paella was perfect. Service was really good. No complaints. This place should be rated higher than what it is.

I think they cater primarily to tourists and everything is overpriced. I ordered the Catalan Noodles Paella because my friend said that is the "real" way of eating Paella in the Catalan region. The flavor was good, but the seafood wasn't really that fresh and it was quite sparse. For $20, I ordered the Paella and water. That is very overpriced, especially when the food was not amazing. The location is conveniently right off La Rambla and the restaurant is modern.

Chicken Skewers

My wife and I were on vacation in Barcelona and decided to walk down to Santa Anna from our hotel. Thankfully we showed up at the perfect time and were able to find a table easily. Service was friendly and fast. We ordered chicken skewers for our tapas and the Paella Mixti to share. On a side note the house wine was excellent! The food came out quickly, was very hot, and the presentation was excellent. Our paella was delicious. The chicken and pork were cooked bone in and the flavors were excellent. The mussels and prawn were very large as well. We were very pleased with our experience and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to go a little off the beaten path!

For my entire Spain visit spanning 5 cities and 10 days, this place was the best seafood paella I had the chance to have. I also discovered the wonderful fiduea dish which is a heavenly paella style dish made with broken noodles instead of rice. Very glad that we stepped into this place for a try. Generous serving sizes ( they said one paella feeds one but it really feeds two). The wait for the food was a bit long but not worrisome . Nice decor and clean environment.

Seafood Fideua (noodles paella) - very good!
Chuck P.

Nice little place just off the main path of La Rambla. Several tapas as you would expect and lots of different paella choices (we went with the seafood fideua, noodles instead of rice). The patatas bravas we had were actually some of the best we had during our entire week in Spain. They were cooked perfectly and the sauces had a wonderful flavor. The Seafood Fideua was good, just not great. It was a little bland but I didn't mind eating it. Atmosphere was very nice and the drinks were good. We would stop in again if we're near La Rambla.

Potato brava

Stopped by for a dinner while in Barcelona. My boyfriend was not big on seafood so we opted for chicken paella instead. Also got potato brava to go with it. Overall a nice meal. Cream Catalan for dessert was good as well.

We were supposed to go to places where we marked, but we arrived at Barcelona late, so we decided to go somewhere close. We ordered paella and it was really good. Fried calamari didn't have enough seasoning though. Overall, this place was enough to serve what we needed. I liked a quiet location as well.

Mari R.

It was delicious food. Not the best paella I've had but good. We got the mix paella, sea food paella, the miss appetizers, chorizo and papas. We got the house wine it was good. Very pretty place

RJ J.

Okay for a few basic Tapas like chorizo and baby squid, but the rest is touristy filler. +1 for atmosphere and service,

Baby potatoes tapas

This place is located not too far from La Ramblas and has a wide variety of paella, which was great for my group since we had a pescatarian and a non-seafood water. We got the vegetarian and chicken paella's because we were squeamish to get some of the seafood options. We also ordered some tapas to make sure we had enough food. The paella's were pretty big, so it was enough food to share between 2 people with other sides. I thought the paella was good and the sangria cava was also great. The restaurant had a modern atmosphere but never quite filled up. This is a great place to stop if you are looking for something beyond the traditional seafood paella!

They did bus the tables to seat people with a noticeable quickness. They have a rotating daily menu that changes the specials each day. We ended up here 3x and each time had different foods. Some evenings we enjoyed make the others so it'll depend on what menu items you get each day. Food came quick, service was prompt, and prices were more than reasonable.

The feta cheese was absolutely disgusting, it tasted like imitation rubber cheese. - The "Al Ajillo" Style Shrimps (GAMBES AMB ALLADA) had a very strange flavor within it, which overwhelmed the garlic flavors. - The Beef Tenderloin (FILET VEDELLA), she had to spit 1/4 of it out because it was too tough. - Everything was overpriced there for the value. If you are in the area DO NOT waste your time nor money dining here!!!

Thank goodness we had a reservation, otherwise the wait time for walk-ins was quoted to be 2-3 hours. We were seated at the counter, smack-dab in the middle of all the action. The drinks were just okay, but the tapas were great! We tried the anchovy dish, jamon, tomato toast, paella, padron peppers, spanish omelette, mussels, and finished with the crema catalana for dessert. All of the dishes were outstanding and they did not disappoint. Service was phenomenal and they were all very friendly and engaging with diners. They guided us on how many plates to order and stopped us from ordering too much, which I appreciate since we weren't sure how big each portion was. Would definitely come back if I had the chance!

The street outside this resturant is not safe in my estimation. I mean my beautiful daughter did get chased by "a newer uninvited resident." Inside? The best resturant in the city. Maybe in all of Spain. I could make a case for it to be THE BEST RESTURANT ON EARTH. (Except that title goes to Commanders Palace in New Orleans or Caviar Kaspia in Paris.But maybe not.) Great service. Great food. Great feeling place. Drawbacks? The neighborhood. The entrance to get in is AWFUL. The place is always too crowded and it can get very loud. Yet I am giving it the maximum stars? "Why Mancow," you ask. Ready? I don't know! Its just THAT SPECIAL.

It's about a 6 minute taxi ride from there. We were seated in the back room with the writing covering the walls. The front bar seemed a little livelier but we took what was offered. Husband had house red wine (3.50 euros) and I had sangria (4.50 euros). Good pours for both. We started with the red shrimp (gambillos) in a lemongrass sauce, about 6 shrimp for 15 euros. Then grilled octopus (which was very tender) over mash potatos and snap peas for 15 euros. We also had a side of grilled bread (4 pieces) for 3.5. We also ordered the Pepita beef with mash potato but took home for dinner as we were full (18 euros). We finished with the homemade corn ice cream with carmelized popcorn and raspberries, which was very unique at 6.5. We added our names to the wall to top off the meal. Service was quick and friendly. Total bill was 85 euros including 5 drinks. It was our best meal in Barcelona so far.

great experience with friends…read more we arrived at 7pm and didn't leave until 1030p, so that should give you a little hint on whether we liked it to not. ambiance - the entrance is located down a little alleyway. once inside, you are surrounded by stone in an old, cave like building. the lighting and styling make it a cozy space to enjoy a wonderful meal. the service - our waiter (Daniele) was on point. incredibly personable, attentive, and funny! the food was timed incredibly well. they gave us plenty of time to enjoy, instead of rushing things out one after another. we had a group of 11, so we had to do the prix-fixe menu. let me tell you though, the amount of food was easily enough for 15 people. the starters - these were shared with the table, but they definitely brought more than enough. crispy bread with tomatoes and olive oil pesto infused burrata with roasted tomatoes tuna tartare with crispy plantains brioche topped with Catalan sausage, truffle cream, and crunchy mushrooms each of these was tasty. i'd say my favorites were the tuna tartare and the brioche. the mains: each person selected their main. cod cooked 2 ways with trinxat (mashed potato, winter cabbage, rendered pork fat), iberian ham, and figs argentine angus tenderloin Iberian pluma (cut from acorn fed pig), smoked sweet potato i got the last one and it. was. AMAZING. cooked to a medium and was deliciously tender. others reported the angus tenderloin was good, but needed some kind of sauce with it. desserts (pick one): variety of chocolates cannoli filled with goat cheese cheesecake and berries ice cream - passionfruit and raspberry with a white crunch for 65 euro per person for the prix-fixe, this was a great meal to share with friends! drinks - very reasonably priced bottles of wine (around 28 euro per bottle), so we kept well hydrated throughout the experience. others in the group got cocktails and said they were really good as well. i've never spent 3.5 hrs in any restaurant, anywhere, but i would go back here in a heartbeat. i fully recommend checking this place out if you're in Barcelona!
