Buenísima la comida , la atención , los camareros muy atentos y serviciales , buen ambiente , y el lugar único de esos que te sientes viajando en el tiempo y apesar de que no teníamos reserva , nos dieron una mesa sin esperar mucho tiempo ….

Sitio muy bueno para menu del dia, con reserva recomendable. Tiene carta y menús cerrados. La paella de secreto recomendable, la de caracoles no nos gustó mucho.

Unos de mis 3 restaurantes favoritos en Barcelona, la comida es espectacular, comimos el xato, secreto ibérico, salmón al cava y bufarra. Tiene buenos vinos, y para rematar un clásico sorbete de limón con mar de cava. Vale cada peso, muy rico

No soy local como para decir si es la más auténtica comida regional, pero puedo asegurar que lo que probé estaba increíble. Fui un sábado al mediodía sin reserva y solo esperé unos 10 minutos, aunque lo ideal es ir con reserva porque suele llenarse. Las paellas son para compartir y tienen opciones vegetarianas. El alioli... simplemente espectacular. De otro mundo, de otra galaxia. La atención fue muy buena y el ambiente acogedor y cálido. En resumen, me encantó 🤓!

At first we were sceptical about this place since it was so full and loud. We had the menu del dia and the food really was great. Especially the paella, the veal on the grill, the coconut dessert. The salad was ok, as well as the skirt steak wasn’t that tasty. Overall good value for money.

I came alone and had to wait a few minutes for a table, but they quickly found one for me. I ordered from the daily menu and everything I tried was delicious and well prepared. The wine was also good for the price, which was a nice surprise. Overall, it was a pleasant and relaxed experience, even when dining alone.

Flavorful squid rice full of umami and fresh seafood. Pedro was super nice and we had great fun with him throughout our meal.

Amazing paella and one of the best mussels I've ever eaten. Restaurant is old traditional full of flavors and amazing food, for sure will come back!

We had dinner here and overall loved what we tried. The paella was excellent—properly seasoned, generous, and full of flavour. The snails were also a highlight: well-prepared and really good value considering the size of the portion. The service was very friendly, staff seemed genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere is interesting and cozy, the décor and vibe feel local and authentic, though the air felt a bit stuffy and warm once the restaurant filled up. Portions are massive for the price, which made dinner feel like a real treat. If you go, maybe visit a bit earlier or at off-peak times to avoid the heat. Would recommend to anyone wanting hearty Catalan / Mediterranean food in a relaxed setting.

Very nice sea food. You can order one-person amount of seafood rice and get full and satisfied. The owner and waiter can speak English and don’t worry. It is suggested you book your seat in advance.

Great authentic restaurant. Stopped for lunch on the way down from Park Guell. Had the seafood paella (min 2 persons) but shared between 3 and it was enough. The waiters don't speak much english so you will need google translate. Seemed very traditional.

My wife and I ordered three dishes (El Glop salad, fried calamari and pork cheeks) and two sodas (Orange Kas and Seven Up). We paid around $60 (no tip requested) and there was probably enough food for 3 people. We really enjoyed El Glop salad and the calamari, and the pork cheeks seemed like they would be ideal for someone looking for a really hearty pork flavor (was a bit too much for us after eating a lot of Iberico ham the past few days). El Glop salad was really appreciated since we hadn't found other restaurants with not fried/oily vegetable dishes, and it came with so much variety (tomatoes, green and black olives, pork skin, tuna, corn, carrots, onions) at a very reasonable price which helped balance out the pork cheeks. The highlight was definitely the fried calamari, however. It was extremely light and soft, and the black rice that came with it had a nice nutty flavor with a more dry texture that complemented the calamari. We haven't tried too much other calamari around Spain, but this was definitely some of the best calamari we've ever had and would recommend it highly.

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. The portions were generous, and we had the paella – it was honestly the best I’ve ever tried. Highly recommend!

One of the best Catalan meals I’ve ever had—exceptionally flavorful and made with high-quality ingredients. The location was convenient, and the service was equally impressive. A truly enjoyable dining experience!

Some of the best food we had in Barcelona. We liked it so much we went a second time! The grilled pork cheeks were absolutely brilliant. Nice and smoky, there’s a good barbecue at the restaurant. Snails paella and cuttlefish black rice were fantastic as well. Excellent service as well. Massive thank you, you made our trip to Barcelona so much better!

The ‘Arros amb bolets i crosta de parmesà’ aka rice with mushrooms and Parmesan crust is one of my death row meals, and has been since the first time I tried it in 2012. We enjoyed it so much and our experience in the restaurant, that when my bestie organised my hen back in 2017 - she booked for all 10 of us to go… It was a little walk from where we were staying and some of the group moaned significantly but that made it all the more satisfying that having visited, they were all instant converts, loved it as much as we did and have recommended it to many others since. This place keeps my 2017 hen do group chat running 😅 So naturally when nearby on a family holiday this year (July 2025) I really wanted to visit but wasn’t sure with three fussy kids… Cue my husband who knows how much I love it, offering to take the kids out for the afternoon so I can go and have a glorious solo lunch. And glorious it was 🤤 Previous reviews I’ve read through have criticised it for becoming more touristy… It did have more tourists than back on my first ever visit but I don’t think it’s lost any of its charm. The only thing that slightly took the shine off was that whilst the lady serving me was really lovely and had smiles, some of the other staff seemed stressed and much less friendly, which was a shame. The lunch deal seems fantastic value (under €16) but I just wanted a whole paella to myself. I actually took Tupperware so I could take it home but spotted someone on another table being given a doggy bag, so it wasn’t necessary 🤣 Still my favourite after 13 years. A must visit in Barcelona!

Went here specifically for the menu del dia, it was amazing! The servers were warm and friendly, they were kind and patient with me although my Spanish was very limited. The food was delicious and I'd definitely come back again!

Dining here was amazing! The food was delicious, i had the calamari, fresh and tasty. The service just as flawless. My friends had the paella which was also beautifully decorated and was just as tasty as it looked. I recommend making an reservation and visiting. If i visit Barcelona again i will 100% come again and you should too. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! 🫶🏼

A super popular place. It is overcrowded, so I would recommend a reservation. We were lucky we found one free table. The waiters are super fast and polite, they have an open kitchen, so you can see the cooking process. If you love seafood, this is the place to go. If have eaten the most tasteful and consistent paella. Good price per money overall. Tasty beverages.

Joe Jiang

The restaurant serves great food. Probably the best paella 🥘 I've ever had! All the other dishes were great as well. The seafood were perfectly seared that the meat were so tender and juicy. The place is very popular and the staff are busy, so be prepared for a bit of wait. Overall it was a great dining experience. Highly recommend!

Akinori Oshika

It’s my second visit here, and every dish has been consistently outstanding. Pedro provides attentive service with thoughtful details and a great sense of humour. I highly recommend this place to everyone! The regulars here are also very friendly — they kindly helped me when I wasn’t sure how to eat something. The whole atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy.

La comida estaba muy buena en general, tanto el salmón, como la merluza como la tarta de queso. A pesar de esto las bravas estaban un poco duras. En cuanto a la relación calidad precio es adecuada aunque un pelín elevada. Mención especial a la brasa. El servicio está bien, pero la camarera se olvidó las copas para el agua, y al final del servicio dos trabajadoras discutieron cuando no quedaba casi gente. El ambiente es muy familiar, acogedor, se siente como un restaurante de comida casera y reconfortante. Nos tocaron dos cumpleaños y fueron muy emotivos. Nosotros fuimos dos, pero creemos que lo mejor sería ir al menos 4 personas para poder disfrutar al máximo de la experiencia.

Comida catalana tradicional en Gracia. Tienen mucha elección, también con opciones de menú. Los calçots no me volvieron loca, me pareció que les faltaba algo de sabor, así como a los postres. Lo demás que comimos (parrillada de carne, canelones, croquetas) estuvo muy bien, así como el vino de la casa. El servicio fue rápido a pesar de que hubiese mucha gente. En general, una buena experiencia que repetiría.

Brasería de las que gustan de verdad. Ideal para ir a tomar algo, compartir unas tapas o meterte entre pecho y espalda una buena carne a la brasa. Todo está en su punto: producto de calidad, raciones generosas y ese olor a parrilla que te gana nada más entrar. El ambiente es animado, el servicio rápido y el precio razonable para lo que ofrecen.

Comimos patatas bravas, croquetas, canalones y paella de marisco. No es nada de excepcional, igual lo fuerte es la carne alli. Los precios onestos. El personal, sobretodo el propietario muy majo.

Comida tradicional catalana. Precios adecuados. Servicio rápido y personal muy amable. Comida rica. Ambiente un poco ruidoso.

We had takeout paella from this restaurant before and I really enjoyed it. Today I came back with my whole family. We ordered two different rice dishes, but both were a bit saltier than last time. The snails were also slightly too salty. The older members of our family felt it didn’t quite suit their taste, though the kids really liked it. Since it was the weekend, the place was very crowded and the tables were set quite close to each other, which made it a little inconvenient to get up. The staff were all very friendly, but a few of the dishes I ordered didn’t come out—maybe they didn’t hear me clearly because the table next to us was very noisy. I didn’t manage to take a photo of the grilled chicken, but my kids enjoyed it a lot and I thought it was ok too.

Li Yang

Great Cataluña food. When the waiters get too busy, the service is a bit less coordinated. Overall, it’s worth the dining experience. It proves to be a great restaurant and that keeps the waiters so busy all the time. And it’s dog friendly which is added value to try the restaurant. Remember to make reservation.

Fuimos hace un par de meses en grupo y la experiencia fue excelente, tanto que decidimos volver este domingo cuatro personas más. Lamentablemente, esta segunda visita no estuvo a la altura de la primera. La atención fue irregular desde el inicio. Nos tomó nota una chica, pero prácticamente no volvimos a verla hasta el momento de traer la cuenta. Entendemos perfectamente que en hostelería pueden producirse errores —venimos del sector y sabemos cómo funciona—, pero una espera de 1 hora y media por una paella sin ninguna explicación ni disculpa resulta difícil de justificar. Sospechamos que el pedido pudo no haberse marchado a cocina, algo que puede pasar. Lo que echamos en falta fue algo tan básico como una comunicación clara o una disculpa. Cada vez que preguntábamos, siempre desde el respeto y la comprensión, la respuesta fue con gestos incómodos y poca actitud de servicio. Y aun así mantuvimos la paciencia en todo momento. El punto más delicado fue la cuenta, que incluía conceptos añadidos por error. Es cierto que lo solucionaron al momento, pero este tipo de detalles generan una sensación innecesaria cuando la experiencia ya venía tocada. Se come bien y el lugar es agradable, pero en restauración los pequeños detalles marcan la diferencia. El respeto y la actitud son clave. Si el cliente está mostrando comprensión, lo mínimo es recibirla de vuelta. Son esos matices los que determinan si alguien repite… y si deja propina por un servicio que realmente lo merezca.

Octopus is good, paella is salty. The workers don't even pretend to care about you if youre a tourist. Worst part? They still charge a 10% tip. Do yourself a favor and save your business for somewhere that appreciates their customers, regardless of where you're from.
