Llevo años visitando Can Sole y nunca me ha decepcionado. Es de esos lugares que te hacen sentir como en casa desde el momento en que cruzas la puerta. El arroz caldoso de bogavante es sencillamente espectacular, con un sabor intenso y autentico que demuestra el buen hacer de la cocina. Los camareros son atentos sin resultar agobiantes y conocen la carta a la perfeccion. La decoracion marinera tiene ese encanto tradicional de la Barceloneta que tanto me gusta. Sin duda, uno de mis restaurantes favoritos para disfrutar de buena cocina catalana de mar.

Visitamos ese restaurante hace dos semanas y les debía esta reseña. Nos encantó. El servicio muy bueno, y la cocina excelente. Plato estrella chipriotas con trompetas de la muerte (setas), espectacular. Luego un arroz negro muy sabroso. Relación calidad precio muy bien....un lugar donde, si buscas calidad, quedarás complacido.

En mi opinión, este es un sitio que vale mucho la pena. Su cocina es simplemente fantástica y está en una zona de la Barceloneta que es muy fácil de localizar. Tienen una carta muy completa, no se limitan en absoluto, y si te gusta la comida mediterránea, de verdad que no te arrepentirás de ir. Lo que más me gusta es que la relación calidad-precio es excelente; los precios no son para nada elevados para lo que ofrecen, y la comida es tan buena que te dan ganas de volver cada día. Eso sí, como siempre está lleno gracias a las buenas críticas, es mucho mejor que reserves mesa con tiempo. El lugar en sí tiene una decoración muy acogedora que invita a quedarse, y el ambiente es ideal para ir en familia, lo que garantiza que pasarás un rato muy agradable disfrutando de una buena comida. Para hacerte una idea, lo mejor es que eches un vistazo a las fotos que tienen publicadas en sus redes sociales. Además, para pagar no hay problema, porque aceptan tanto Visa como Mastercard.

Overall, good experience with service and the food. The staff were also amazing and friendly. The paella and the fish soup were similar in taste. They were both very salty so finishing the paella became more overwhelming towards the end. We, unfortunately, also encountered a few pieces of sand, possibly coming from the mussels. The place seemed to be slightly overpriced, as it is a well-known and rooted restaurant, but not sky-high.

Fantastic service from Amauris and Delicious Food!!! From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. Our server was outstanding, knowledgeable about the menu, and always ready with a smile. He made great recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. The food was simply excellent — fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish was cooked to perfection!! We left feeling completely satisfied, and we’ll definitely be coming back on our next trip to Barcelona. Highly recommend this place for anyone who values great service and a memorable meal! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾

Cam Sole, which is featured in Shadow of the Wind, surpassed my already high expectations. The food was superb and the service extraordinary. The location near the waterfront led to a wonderful walking experience.

There is a reason why local restaurants like this can survive over a century. It’s simple, elegant, full of history, and yet humble about it. We ordered 3 dishes. Fried fish as appetizer, oxtail tail as the meat dish, and of course paella to finish off the meal. The fried fish was lightly salted and perfectly cooked. Not too dry but just enough so the bone came right off. The oxtail had been slow cooked for sometime. The meat did not come right off the bone, but that’s the good part. If it came right off, personally I would find it over cooked. This one was fine and tasty. I would recommend ordering a side of bread to finish the sauce. Don’t let it go to waste. The paella was gigantic. Tho it’s supposed to be for 2 people, but it felt like could feed 4 of us. It’s crispy on the bottom and soft on top. Personally I found the rice slightly undercooked (really just slightly). But then again this was the first time I ate paella in Spain. So it could very well be the authentic way. I wouldn’t change a thing. Staff were very friendly. Everyone was. I had a wonderful experience. Cheers to another 100 years.

I visited in March 2023 and I still talk about this restaurant often. The seafood paella is the best I’ve ever had. The crème brûlée had the perfect crust and level of sweetness. I hope to go back to Barcelona and go back here.

The staff are incredibly sweet and the food is amazing, the squid especially was incredible and the paella was tantalizing my tongue on levels it hasn’t been tantalized 😂

I spent quite a long time walking around Barcelona looking for a great place, with great food and great atmosphere and believe me, I found that place in Can Solé. The food is really good, the atmosphere is cosy, traditional and warm, the service from ALL staff members is superb, they are really really nice people, specially the guy from Domincan Republic who gave me the chance to enter without a reservation and made the chef prepared the paella with peeled shrimps, etc for me.....really welcoming and accommodating guy, but again, all others are also very nice. This is a place I will be always visiting during any of my stays in Barcelona. Thanks....

Great all around restaurant known for the traditional Paellas. Service also generally very good except they made an error on one of my orders. Paella lived up to the reputation, razor clams and the clams were also fantastic.

There are so many restaurants to choose from in Barcelona, but we are so glad we chose this one! Amazing personal service, incredible food, very authentic experience. Easy to make online reservations. We loved everything about it and highly recommend. A wonderful way to spend our last evening in Spain. Thank you, Can Solé!

Imran Pardhan

Alright. This place is nothing short of spectacular - its been around for 100+ years for a reason. Big fan of the must try dish - the seafood paella. It’s got all the fresh shellfish you would expect and 1 order is enough for 2 people. Their service is exceptional here and it’s one of the best paellas I’ve ever had.

Came here for lunch because of the good rating and they live up with their reputation. This is a traditional restaurant in the beach district. The historic building immediately throws me back in time in a a good way. We started with the monkfish seafood soup, it's taste is rich and tasty and the ingredients is full of favor. The seafood paella we ordered is a locals favorite. The risotto mixes with juice from pawns and mussels give a exquisite texture and taste.

We had a great lunch at Can Sole. The food was fresh and well made. It is a restaurant famous for its paella, so we ordered that along with fedeua. Both dishes were fantastic, full of intense seafood flavour. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We came with a baby stroller, and that was no problem. Even with a table on the second floor, they helped us to carry it up to the top.

Local de ambiente familiar con solera para comer un buen arroz en Barcelona. El pescado y marisco es fresco y bueno. No es el más económico pero tampoco el más caro. La relación calidad precio para mí es muy buena.

Comida de domingo en este mítico restaurante. Ambiente muy acogedor y servicio muy atento y rápido. Probamos unas navajas, muy finas y sabrosas. El arroz negro con sepietas rico aunque quizás le faltaba un punto de sabor. Buena experiencia.

Un lugar de toda la vida, menos turístico que los que están al lado de la playa. El ambiente muy tranquilo y agradable. Pedimos una paella marinera y en nuestro caso el arroz estaba un poco duro. El precio parecido a los bares que están cerca.

Estuvimos ahí la semana pasada. Su especialidad son los arroces y doy fe que valen la pena. El resto de platos correctos sin más comimos almejas y el gran canelon y después el arroz caldoso. Tardaron un poco en servirnos y cuando nos traen el 1r plato se habían equivocado. Lo que hizo que la experiencia no fuera agradable era que el restaurante había dejado entrar a una pareja con un perro, un pomeranian que estuvo TODA la noche ladrando cada vez que venía o pasaba cerca de él un camarero. El resto de comensales también los iba mirando. Surrealista que pasen estas cosas y que el restaurante no haga nada.

Great service. Paella was spot on. Suggest you skip the "daily special" - was definitely surprisingly overpriced (I.e. half a dozen shrimp was more than double the cost of paella..). Only restaurant we have been to in Spain with the option of a tip at purchase.. Still worth checking out though if in the area.

Paella ofcourse! What I got the paella ofcourse! The typical one to that.. as a tourist.. ha. This was the second paella I had in Barcelona, and I really liked it. Everything was seasoned very well and tasted very good. No complains. I also got the razor claims - this to me was very new and different (personally I didn't like it). The crema Catalana was very good! I had around 3 of these and this one to me was the best.. (I am not local to barcelona.. I am still surveying). Environment Located in an off street on the main popular street. I didn't have a reservation and luckily was able to get a seat just an hour before the closing. They sat me at the front door, so I was not able to see the space. But I think there is quite a number of seating available, and even upstairs. Niceness of the staff Since I was very near to the door and the bar area.. which means I was always in the eyesight of the waiters and host. Also maybe I was a tourist, I was always on their minds? They were friendly and I was able to get my orders in with no problem Dollar It was decent I suppose, it was 24.40 per person for the paella and then the clams were 17.50. The bread costs! Yes I would recommend to other tourist alike haha..

Ignore anything good that you may have read. Unsafe neighborhood, super cold and overcooked dry paella, beyond rubber calamari. Run. Do not waste your money or time on this place.

La comida estaba bien pero depende del plato. Lo servicio también considero bien porque son muy simpáticos pero no estaban atentos 100%. El ambiente muy bien. Hemos pedido fideuá y arroz. Recomiendo el fideuá.

Sitio encantador por su decoración y trato por parte del personal. Los buñuelos de bacalao con piñones son muy buenos, las almejas a la marinera estaban pasadas de cocción y la salsa estaba bien, pero el arroz caldoso estaba poco sabroso por se uno de sus platos bandera del restaurante y en cambio los postres estaban espectaculares. Precio muy alto para la calidad de los platos.

Unfortunately Shrimps and clams are not fresh. Many shells are empty. Some clams taste funny. Definitely overpriced. U dun want to pay 25/person for this.

Don't order the food by recommended, 3pcs crayfishes cost €42. Compare the seafood paella had one red prawn and crayfish just €24. It ABSOLUTELY not value of money. So I just let the other people know, ask the price before order, don't like me so foolish.

La verdad es que fuimos al ver las recomendaciones en TripAdvisor y porque deseábamos comer un arrocito de Bogavante. El personal muy educado y elegimos unas alcachofas con foie deliciosas, unos calamares a la romana sin sabor... y aquí vino nuestra decepción el Arroz con Bogavante. El Bogavante muy pequeño olía a amoníaco, se lo dijimos al camarero pero todos hasta el personal de cocina nos dijeron que el producto no era congelado y que era totalmente fresco. Buscando por Google vimos que cuando el pescado no es fresco y está descompuesto huele así... (lo buscamos por la noche cuando llegamos a casa). Un restaurante que está especializado en este tipo de producto debería saber de primera mano que cuando el pescado huele así es porque no es fresco. Por suerte no hemos sufrido ninguna intoxicación pero si que le pediría al restaurante que revise su género. Lo máximo que hizo el restaurante es invitarnos un café por nuestras quejas. El tíquet total de lo que consumimos fue de 150€. Obviamente ni volveremos, ni lo recomendaremos.
