This is one of the best restos in Barcelona. Two weeks ago we visited Barcelona and on our 4th day walked around to look for authentic Barcelona food. We passed by this resto on a corner and peeked inside which looked good but passed. I then decided to Yelp and found a place I told my husband we should try. We ended back to this place we just passed so we thought why not try it. Oh boy oh boy! we loved everything we ordered. Rabbit pate with goat cheese, rice with butifarra (Catalan sausage) and octopus, skip jack with pistachio and sour cream were incredible. Everything was tastefully balanced...soooo delicious I want to go back soon but sadly vacation is over. Heirloom tomatoes fresh from their Gallina garden were so sweet and juicy. The lady who served us was very nice and patient with her American customers. Highly recommended! I will miss this place. read more

A very friendly and cozy place. It's a very good place to spend time with your significant other. The waitress is very attentive and offers recommendations that is tailored to the customer taste. A gem that is not to be missed. I got almost all the items on the menu and each has its own flavors . Each dish is very tasty. My wife loved. read more

Truly wonderful fresh seafood. We got oysters, grilled vegetables, grilled seafood (we could do without the snails), and the skip jack. Each dish was fresh, and delicious. We would come back anytime. read more

The food was amazing, highly recommend the paella! The menu is very interesting and there's something for everyone, a definite must see when in Barcelona! read more

Somorrostro - The amazing menu - Catalan Near Me - Barcelona, B

I really wanted to like this place, as it seemed like a good local spot. The staff could have cared less about me which was the main issue. I know being a single traveler isn't the ideal but I still hope for decent service, especially since I am happy to pay well for a good meal. The food was very good, so I would still give this place a try. But maybe not if you are by yourself. On the plus side, it was really inexpensive so that's a plus read more

This was definitely our favorite meal in Spain. The skill of the chefs is apparent in every dish that came out, each perfectly balanced for unique and interesting flavors. Presentation, pacing, textures, and ambiance were all on point. Favorite dishes included the anemone (tastes like a fried oyster), skipjack, zucchini flower, and the fried softshell crab with roe and egg. Also really enjoyed the gaspacho shooter. For dinner, you likely will need a reservation but for lunch around 2pm our group was able to walk right in. read more

Easily one of the best places I've been to in Europe. The skip jack with pistachio and sour cream is as good as the other yelpers claimed. The eel sandwich is a must try. I'm impressed by several of the dishes and their unique yet flavorful combinations. That is not an easy thing to do. read more

The skip jack is the best piece of food I have had in Barcelona. It melts on your tongue. The combination with the bread, pistachio, cream was just perfect. read more

Fantastic off the Main Street local restaurant. We had the tasting menu which was varied and flavorful. Wonderful fish dishes and fusion of flavors. Great wines, desserts and amazing service. Highly recommended for a memorable experience. read more

This adorable restaurant deserves all of the great reviews. It has been our best meal in Barcelona so far, by a wide margin. Each dish was perfectly done. The fresh and relatively light seafood dishes cause this place to soar high above more traditional tapas restaurants. Also, the price tag was on the moderate side, all things considered. (Update: We returned to this same restaurant a second time on our last of 10 nights in Barcelona, and now can confirm that this was definitively our favorite restaurant in the City.) read more

The food was amazing and the service was fun and very kind. My family and I tried out some foods that were new to us and ended up loving ever single thing. The serving size is quite small (tapa size) but very delicious and overall left me smiling at the end of the night. read more

Go here for dinner at least once in your time in Barcelona. This little gem was tucked away near the beach, had I known of it sooner I would have eaten there more. We showed up around 2200 with no reservations and a group of 4 on Friday night, they sat us immediately and were very friendly. After a few minutes of reviewing the menu board and coming to no solid starting point we asked what our waitress recommended and she looked at the menu and said everything, so we took her advice and ordered almost everything. Not one plate let us down. They pride themselves on being a farm to table locally sourced type of kitchen, they do not disappoint. From tempura fried zucchini flowers with goat cheese to steamed seafood medley to roasted wild mushrooms it was truly delicious. My group ate till it couldn't take anymore wine and food then we gladly said goodnight to the staff and wandered to the beach for an evening beach stroll. Most definitely will be returning as the seasonal menu will need another chance to make culinary magic. read more

Amazingly fresh food with a creative twist. We throughly enjoyed our visit. The mussels were fresh, the skip jack was delicious, the mushrooms were simple but amazing. And the paella was over the top. Add to that a wonderful setting and you have a winner. A must try. read more

Somorrostro - The best food. Amazing quaint restaurant with locally sourced fresh food. We loved everything we ordered. - Catalan Near Me - Barcelona, B

Restaurant has changed the menu since I last dined here in August 2012 and they no longer serve the tasting menu that once had me drooling for more. While not bad, it's just another tapas bar in La Barceloneta area now, but without a view of the sea. read more

This is a GREAT to stop in at and have lunch or dinner. They didn't have a spot for us at first (without reservations at about 2pm) but then they opened up a fold up table near the kitchen off to the side with two chairs to accommodate us and BOOM we were in! This place is Delicious. We had the Oyster shooter, the Grilled mixed Seafood, Pom Fret, and grilled octopus with chorizo potatoes. All amazing. I have to say that grilled octopus with chorizo potatoes was our favorite. Don't mistake, all was great as well, nothing fell short that we ordered. read more

Paelle too salty and the rice is a little bit raw (only except for the small circle of rice in the middle of the pot), the seafood lost their original taste. duck magret too sauty too, i know nothing about wine so i am not going to judge the sangria, for me is the same with the red wine. read more

Was Great Service and atmosphere, food was good but we had better. Paella was good! Price was not bad.

It's a wonderful restaurant and awesome food that has a seafood menu. Very fun and charming place and pretentious at all. Wonderful time!

Amazing food!! Amazing waiters!! Innovative and delicious tapas. I highly recommend the Burratta with cocoa and fig bread, and the "crazy tomatoes". They really made us feel like we were right at home. Really cosy, and unpretentious setup, very reasonable prices as well. If you want some really unique flavors and delicious tapas/seafood, this is your place 100%. read more

Definitely a must when by the beach in Barcelona. The mixed grilled seafood was awesome. I think the best thing was sitting at the bar watching them make the food. The definitely loved what they were doing and it showed in the food. read more

Incredible dishes here. These small dish places are common in Barcelona but this was the best I had in the whole city.

Cosy, non-smoking restaurant with an open kitchen and really friendly English speaking staff in Barceloneta. The menu varies every day and therefore the ingredients are always very fresh. The menu includes classic Spanish tapas as well as Asian dishes or once I've spotted kangaroo on the menu depending on what was available on the market that day. This is also the downside as I've had an unbelievably great entrecôte and another time the entrecôte was the only thing I was unhappy with. I also have to mention the great olives they serve. It's not cheap but worth it because the orders pile up on the bill as you can sit there for hours sipping wine and chatting, maybe having another carachillo or so. read more

Wonderful local, organic, spot. Great food and service. Chef's work in an open kitchen so it was fun and awe inspiring to watch. Note: while they post a large menu on line they don't prepare all items every night - they only serve what is freshest. read more

Somorrostro - Cannelloni of "Brandada" with "capuchinas" and beet root - Catalan Near Me - Barcelona, B

Great menu (also available in English) with a wide variety of options - seems like the menu is based on seasonal ingredients. The menu is pretty heavily focused on seafood. Also, they serve paella even though it is not on the menu -- we didn't have it ourselves, but we saw another table eating it after we had ordered. read more

Charming and intimate little restaurant with great wine, good service, and amazing food. Food was beautiful, flavorful and most importantly delicious. Our favorite dish was the duck with passion fruit. (Magret, Maracuya y Boniato) Was one of our favorite restaurants in Barcelona; if you're in the area it's a great option; but be aware that if you come after 9pm there will be a long wait (but it's worth it!). read more

love the place. Would like to take friends new to town here. Try the seafood mix and the Bonita! read more

The seafood tapas were just unbelievable. Everything I tried here was made fresh and tasted amazing. I highly recommend the octopus tapas. Make sure you make reservations before you head out here if it's the weekend. The wait can be really long without a reservation. Remember to spend at least an hour and half for lunch or dinner because the food is cooked only after you have ordered it. read more

Wow, we arrived at 10:30pm and had a wonderful and memorable culinary experience! Skip Jack is a house specialty of tuna with an aioli on a pistachio cracker - we had to order a second plate - it was so awesome! Our other favorite was the grilled octopus - again the dish brought together a harmony of flavors and textures that blew us away. We don't enjoy sweets, but these desserts are made without added sugars - so we tried the burrata cheese with cocoa cookies and fig crackers - again a hit out of the park! Totally recommend this place - and we are California foodies... read more

Very very good local restaurant. We had the zucchini flower and one of the tomato bread dishes and the Paella, mostly because it was our last day In Spain and had not had it yet. DELICIOUS seafood was very fresh. We were served by the owner, she was lovely. Only difficulty is finding it, first cab was confused second one helped. read more

Skipjack was amazing. One of the pricier restaurants we ate in all of Spain and the portions are quite small. Didn't feel the service was overflowing, perhaps we had done something wrong. read more

Super friendly (opened three bottles for me to try), great food at great prices. Everything we had was amazing. While we were there, some singers came in and blew us away. This is a must go to place. read more

Hands down the best meal I had in Barcelona!! Everything was unique and delicious. Cozy atmosphere. Definitely make a reservation. We sat at the bar and it is right by the open style kitchen - was really cool to watch the chefs work, but it was also extremely hot. Service was good! I highly recommend the Skipjack with pistachios and sour cream and the zucchini stuffed flower. read more

Excellent experience, seafood paella was good, so were the skipjack, steamed veggies and oysters. Didn't get to try anything else but would certainly come back again read more

This place was amazing! Great service and delicious authentic seafood! Our paella was made fresh and delicious. They take pride in their slow food so don't expect your meal in 15 minutes. read more

Food was great, specifically the Seafood Paella, Skipjack and Pistachio with Sour Cream Iberian Ham and Flatbread with Tomato. Service was excellent. Highly recommend this place. read more

Yum yum yum. Screw the 'beach view' and eat an amazing meal instead. I ordered randomly and loved it all. Great wines and an all around nice vibe. The vaca vieja was crazy great and the strawberries with vinegar and pepper a great ending. read more

Let me start by saying that this place was pretty much the highlight of our Barcelona trip- from a food perspective at least! My husband and I were wowed by the ambiance, the food and the service. This is a really cute restaurant tucked away in one of the smaller inner streets in Barceloneta. I found this place on yelp a month before our trip and made an online reservation. On the day of, I called to push back the reservation by an hour and they were very accomodating. Once we got there, we found that they had saved us the most intimate corner table in the restaurant! We started off with the mixed seafood grill, which was one of the tapas. For 14 euros, this was a spectacular smoky mix of shrimp, clams, mussels and snails. So glad we ordered this! We also got the paella for two and while this was very flavorful and had the same assortment of seafood as the mixed seafood grill, the rice was slightly el dente which I figured is a common way to cook paella rice but we prefer it a little on the softer side. Nevertheless, nothing went wasted! Surprisingly, my husband had room to try another dish so we opted for the duck with passionfruit foam- oh my! They definitely saved the best for the last though. The crema catalana was sooooo good and different than other places. This had a faint cardomom flavor which was amazing. Throughout the meal we tried three different red wines and a cava, and liked all of them. Best part is that these were all very decently priced. We will definitely be returning if we ever make it back to Barcelona! read more

An unsuspected Catalan Treasure in the core of Barceloneta. You will love this place. This is a gourmet Catalan kitchen serving a modern take on traditional dishes. Their portions are a bit bigger than Tapas so feel free to order many and let yourself be surprised. The menu descriptions do not do justice to the culinary delights that will show up on your table. Walk the extra blocks into the creation of a pair of young Barcelonians who understand what you are looking for. I recommend the "Bonito curado con pistacho y crema ácida" and a bottle of albariño to start with. read more
