Sorprendente descubrimiento en pleno Raval de Barcelona, un local con personalidad, una carta reducida pero bien equilibrada, unos platos bien elaborados y bien presentados y un servicio muy amable, atento y profesional.

Una velada muy agradable en un sitio con mucho encanto🍷 El camarero Alejando David nos atendió excelentemente. 🔝 Repetiremos sin duda. Recomendable100% 🏆

He venido ya un par de veces y tengo que decir que me parece un lugar estupendo para comer y disfrutar de un ambiente tranquilo y agradable.

Todo delicioso, comida con un toque vanguardista, lugar acogedor. Totalmente recomendable. En cuanto a la comida recomiendo la paella de marisco y el risotto. Entrantes el ceviche y tartar. El arroz negro también estuvo rico. Hacen un alioli de color verde (con espirulina) muy original y sabroso.

Celebramos mi cumpleaños en este acogedor restaurante y nos encantó todo: el ambiente, el servicio tan cálido y, por supuesto, los platos increíbles. La tarta de queso con la vela para la cumpleañera simplemente superó todas las expectativas. ¡Muchas gracias!

It’s the best meal we had in Barcelona!! Love the service and the food here. Highly recommend the scallops with corn cream and the local sparkling👌🏻

I really enjoyed my dining experience here in Arume. The food was really good; ordered the Duck Paella which was so flavourful, had the cheesecake for dessert and it blew my mind - smoky cheesecake pairing well with the pineapple sauce on the side. I also enjoyed the hospitality of the staff here; they were so friendly and they make my dinner much more enjoyable. Will definitely return for good Galician cuisine :)

Arume is an exceptional dining experience that is both challenging to discover and located in a dimly lit, somewhat questionable alley. This hidden gem offers a vibrant and engaging atmosphere, thanks to its lively and interactive staff. The culinary highlight is undoubtedly the paella, which is of the highest quality and truly outstanding. Additionally, the scallops are an absolute must-try, leaving a lasting impression with their exquisite taste. I highly recommend visiting Arume for a memorable meal.

Had paella here 6 years ago and it was so memorable I had to return. Seafood Paella remains as per memories - drenched in the flavourful seafood flavours - so so good! Friendly service. Highly recommended to come! Easy Booking online to ensure you get a good spot.

This is my favorite restaurant in Barcelona, every time I am in Barcelona I visit here for the duck rice and the scallops. The ravioli is a new dish I had never tried, but it was full of surprise, we like it. The services were amazing as well and Barando he was so nice. Can’t wait to come back next year ^_^

What an incredible restaurant! Not only was the food delicious, Brando was also an absolutely fantastic server. He gave great recommendations for popular dishes and explained the ingredients as he served them. He also spent some time chatting with us about our background and travels. His enthusiasm and thoughtfulness made the dining experience exceptional! We can’t wait to come back again for more paella!

Each dish was exquisitely prepared, but the seafood paella was the true culinary standout of our entire Spanish journey. The concluding dessert won me over completely—a remarkable feat, given my usual aversion to sweets. The service was both warm and professional, and combined with the very reasonable prices, it represented outstanding value.

I love this place. I first visited two years ago on my sister’s recommendation and now return every time I’m in Barcelona for work. The food remains excellent, the staff friendly and multilingual, and although it feels more touristy now, the quality hasn’t slipped. The scallops are always perfectly cooked (one year the chef gave us tips on how he prepares them), and the seafood paella is packed with fresh, delicious shellfish.

Great food (lots of gluten free options) and very friendly staff! The place is cute, but small… although there’s hidden rooms. We didn’t have reservations and it was full so we sat at the bar, but that worked just fine. Three of us split the paella, as well as the leaks and then the smoker sardines. The sardines were the only thing that wasn’t gluten free. A little pricier than but still reasonable and delicious.

1. Steak tartare- great beefy taste with crunchy bread 2. Seared tuna- the sauce really tastes like chocolate/nutty. But there was NO chocolate. It was GARLIC. I was so confused 🤣 3. Seafood and Duck Paella. Both so different, but still DELICIOUS Can’t forget our wonderful Waiter- Brando. Wonderful energy even for evening time. Thank you for the 2 shots!!!

After a long day, my Korean hostel mate and I were absolutely craving paella — because, hey, when in Spain! A quick search led us to Arume Restaurant, a cozy spot known for its traditional Catalan and Spanish delights. We didn’t have a reservation, but we were warmly welcomed by Kuya Brando, a friendly and accommodating Filipino staff member who made us feel right at home. Of course, our top pick was seafood paella (for 2pax - madami kaya hindi namin naubos) which perfectly satisfied our cravings. We also ordered the Scallops with creamed corn, truffle, crispy bread, and black truffle pearls — and honestly, it was the best scallops I’ve ever tasted. Every bite was heavenly at ang sarap talaga! I’d easily give that dish a solid 5 stars. To complete our meal, we tried the Spanish sausage croquettes (Homemade butifarra croquettes with chipotle emulsion) — crispy, creamy, and packed with flavor. It definitely did not disappoint. Overall, Arume Restaurant offers not just amazing food but also a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff, especially Kuya Brando and another lovely Filipina staff (whose name I sadly forgot), made our dining experience even more special. No hablo Español pero nakakatuwa na managalog sa ibang bansa 🇵🇭🇪🇸. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their traditional dishes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and heartwarming dining experience in Barcelona! 🇪🇸

This place is a must! I’ve absolutely enjoyed my evening here. Not only you get an amazing food - the duck paella is famous for a reason (I would also recommend their ceviche though…) but the service there…you just feel like at home. Everyone is super friendly, professional and with a smile on their face. Thank you for this very pleasant evening!

The restaurant is like a Tardis! You come into a tiny bar, and are then taken to one of two main dining areas, both of which are rustic, and one of which is a little quirky and on two floors. The decoration is in keeping with an old rustic spanish restaurant. The service is great, so friendly and welcoming, and very efficient too. As for the food, we had the clams and the seafood, and we thought that the food was flavoursome and very well presented, and we really enjoyed it! The drinks were good too! We were very impressed, and as a restaurant, this really does deserve at least four stars, if not the five stars that I have given it! 😀 Ok so what is the downside, and unfortunately there is one, and though I am reluctant to say anything, i feel that I must! The restaurant is located in a very scary part of Barcelona, and the one thing that would make this restaurant better is a change of location! I walked to and from this restaurant with my wife, and i will not be doing that again! If I visit again, I will definitely get a taxi there and back, and I would recommend that you do this as well!

Went to here by a friend's recommendation. Was deeply impressed by the lovely food and great service. Our waitress (Precious) was VERY personable and tried her very best to keep us satisfied. This was by far the best service I had received in Barcelona so far. Food was amazing - duck paella is a must try for everyone. Iberian pork tenderloin was surprisingly great. (You would 100% regret if you don't order it) Spectacular dinning experience, no complain, 5 out of 5👏

Food and service here is absolutely immaculate. I came here two years ago, made a good enough impression that I brought my partner here for his birthday. Precious (our server) was outstanding. Fun, energetic and knowledgeable with suggestions and character. We will 100% be back and recommend anyone comes here for an all around incredible, authentic experience. The menu hasn’t changed much, and I’m glad about it. The famous duck paella is amazing.

Special thanks tp my daughter Izah for the reco 🥰

Very great place to go for Spanish cuisine! Delicious duck paella (their best seller) and our server, Precious recommended the scallops as well and they were so good! We also got the potatoes and sausage croquettes for tapas. All in all, delicious food, great atmosphere, and fantastic service!

La comida está muy buena, pero el precio es bastante elevado y te quedas con hambre si pides solo un plato. Sobre el servicio reservamos mesa por un cumpleaños para 12 personas y nos separaron en 2 mesas, algo que no nos avisaron en la llamada por lo tanto esperamos a que quedase una mesa mas grande libre apta para las 12 personas (30-40 minutos esperando) Para venir de vez en cuando está bastante bien pero el sitio es muy pequeño, más recomendable para un grupo de 5-8 personas máximo.

Una experiencia excepcional! La comida estaba deliciosa, con una presentación muy delicada y cuidada. Además, el servicio fue impecable, muy atento y amable. ¡Totalmente recomendado!

El restaurante es bonito, bien decorado y peculiar, aunque demasiadas mesas juntas. La comida empezó bien, una burrata y un steak tartar para compatir entre 4. La burrata rica, el steak tartar demasiado picada la carne y recocida, como si hiciese tiempo que la hubiesen hecho. De plato principal pedimos 2 " Melosos de ternera" , riquisimo, un arroz de setas, rico también y un vokcan de arroz negro ( no sabia a nada, parecia arroz cocido y mezclado con una salsa de pescado negra. No lo repetiria...). De poatre pedimos tarta de queso, muerte por chocolate y panacotta, muy rico todo... Mi valoración es que menos el volcan de arroz todo estaba muy rico!

Es un restaurante para turistas (lo que había). La calidad de la comida fue buena, pero no justifica el precio. En cuanto al servicio, no me gustó que me ofrecieran agua (botella de agua de grifo) sin especificar que tiene coste (3,2€) y que al ir a pagar me obligaran a tener que indicar qué propina queria dar antes de poder proceder al pago. Además, la calle donde está no es la mejor, hay que ir con cuidado.

Acudí a este restaurante por sus buenas valoraciones, pero la experiencia terminó de la peor manera posible. Nada más entrar ya hubo una primera señal extraña: sábado a las 14:00 h y el restaurante prácticamente vacío, con una sola persona en sala y otra en cocina. Aun así, decidimos seguir. El servicio era lento, pero correcto. La comida empezó bien: la ostra y las sardinas estaban bien ejecutadas y apuntaban maneras. Sin embargo, mientras estábamos comiendo las sardinas ocurrió algo absolutamente inaceptable: una cucaracha apareció en el hombro de mi mujer. La situación fue tan desagradable como podéis imaginar. En ese momento nos levantamos y nos fuimos de inmediato. El restaurante no nos cobró nada (lo mínimo exigible) y el propietario me llamó pocos minutos después para disculparse e invitarnos a otro de sus locales, invitación que rechacé. Quiero dejar claro que el trato posterior fue correcto, pero hay errores que no admiten compensación ni segunda oportunidad. En un restaurante, la higiene es un requisito básico, no un detalle menor. Da igual cómo esté la comida si fallan los estándares sanitarios más elementales. Una experiencia así anula por completo cualquier valoración positiva previa.
