La verdad es que salimos encantados. El sitio es muy amplio, moderno y con mucho gusto en los detalles, se nota que cuidan la experiencia desde que entras. Nos atendieron muy bien durante toda la cena. En un momento se olvidaron de traernos un plato, pero lo solucionaron rápido y con muy buena actitud, así que ningún problema. La comida está realmente buena: ingredientes de calidad, sabores bien equilibrados y una presentación muy cuidada. Si te gusta la comida japonesa, aquí vas sobre seguro. En resumen, un sitio perfecto para disfrutar de buena comida nipona en un ambiente agradable y con buen servicio. Repetiríamos sin duda.

Mi experiencia en Ikoya Barcelona fue simplemente espectacular, una experiencia maravillosa en todos los sentidos. El trato del personal fue impecable, cercano y muy atento en cada detalle. La comida exquisita, con una calidad y presentación que convierten cada plato en un auténtico viaje de sabores. Comencé con un tartar de atún Bluefin, fresco y de una calidad inmejorable, que se deshacía en la boca y abría el apetito de la mejor manera posible. Después probé las kokotxas kombu, delicadas y llenas de matices marinos, cocinadas a la perfección y con una textura sublime. El siguiente plato fue un tonkotsu miso ramen, reconfortante, con un caldo profundo y lleno de sabor, acompañado de ingredientes que aportaban equilibrio y armonía en cada bocado. El pulpo a la brasa fue otro de los grandes aciertos: tierno, jugoso y con ese toque ahumado irresistible que lo hacía sobresalir. Para finalizar, el souflé de té matcha fue la guinda perfecta: esponjoso, delicado y con el característico amargor elegante del matcha, que dejaba un recuerdo inolvidable al paladar. Más allá de comer bien, es una experiencia sensorial que combina ambiente, servicio y gastronomía de una manera única. El ambiente del restaurante, cuidado hasta el último detalle, junto con la excelencia del servicio y la calidad de la comida, hacen de Ikoya un lugar imprescindible para quienes quieran vivir una experiencia culinaria única en Barcelona. Sin duda, un lugar al que volveré y que recomiendo a cualquiera que quiera disfrutar de la cocina en su máxima expresión.

Un lugar muy bonito y acogedor. La comida espectacular y un buen servicio con buena explicación de los platos, conociendo la carta a la perfección y haciendo buenas recomendaciones. Por poner una una pega. Con la calidad el servicio q ofrece y lo q se paga, deberían ser un poco más curiosos con la vajilla y no poner platos descantillados.

Fuimos a cenar reservando el mismo día pero pronto ( horario europeo), genial, llovía y pudimos entrar un poco antes. La comida tanto en su elaboración como en la calidad del producto excelente y el trato también acompaño, moltes gràcies!

Calidad brutal. El mejor sushi que he probado: el pescado se deshacía en la boca y el sabor era impecable. 10/10. Recomiendo muchísimo esta experiencia, y destaco especialmente el servicio, cuidado al detalle y fiel a la cultura japonesa.

Super bueno, Es la segunda vez que comemos aqui, normalmente vamos a Shunka. Pero la verdad es que vale mucho la pena. El producto es de excelentisima calidad. El trato impecable i los sabores muy muy buenos. Voleveremos

Ikoya Izakaya es una propuesta japonesa de alto nivel en Barcelona que fusiona la técnica japonesa —especialmente de sashimi, nigiri, robata grill— con producto mediterráneo de mercado. El local fue diseñado para evocar las tabernas (izakayas) de Tokio, con cocina abierta, grill de brasas, barra central y un estilo estético cuidado. En la carta puedes encontrar: Sashimi moriawase (varios pescados) Nigiri y uramaki de mayor calidad Platos a la brasa (robata), carnes especiales (wagyu, ibérico) y pescados de mercado Opciones vegetarianas e informaciones de alérgenos señaladas. Lo que me gustó La calidad del producto: muchos comensales destacan la frescura del pescado, la preparación cuidada y el sabor auténtico. Ubicación privilegiada en el Born, lo que permite combinar con paseo, mercado, ambiente histórico. Ambiente bien diseñado, estilo moderno-japonés, que aporta una experiencia más allá de “solo comer”: la estética importa y ayuda a disfrutar. Lo que podría mejorar / tener en cuenta Como restaurante de calidad en zona céntrica, el precio es superior al de bares o restaurantes más informales. Debes estar preparado para ello. Debido al formato y estilo, puede sentirse menos “bar japonés casual” y más “restaurante japonés gourmet”. Si buscas algo ultra informal, quizá haya otras opciones. Algunos comentarios señalan que el tamaño de las raciones puede ser algo moderado para el precio pagado. Consejos útiles Reserva con antelación, especialmente para la cena (desde las 20:00). Si te interesa la experiencia de robata (cocina a la brasa), pide mesa cerca de la zona de grill si es posible. Considera pedir varios platos para compartir (sashimi, nigiri, algún grill) más que un solo plato. Así aprovechas la variedad. Ideal para ocasión especial o una cena más cuidada tras pasear por la zona. Si tienes dietas específicas (vegetariano, sin pescado, etc.), consulta previamente sobre opciones disponibles. Mi impresión final Ikoya Izakaya es, en mi valoración, una muy buena elección para disfrutar de alta cocina japonesa en Barcelona, con producto serio, ambiente cuidado y ubicación excelente. No es el lugar más barato ni el más informal, pero si estás dispuesto a invertir un poco más en una experiencia gastronómica de calidad, lo recomiendo sin dudar.

Left the order to the waiter and was not disappointed, fresh seafood cooked well, and a few nice wines to complement the food.

A Culinary Delight in Barcelona! I'm absolutely thrilled about my dining experience at Casa Mari y Rufo in Barcelona! It was, without a doubt, a spectacular meal. Every dish we tried was simply outstanding: the cuttlefish, the fresh seafood, the perfectly cooked octopus, and the delicious Catalan anchovies. Everything was prepared to perfection, showcasing products of the highest quality. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and familiar, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. And the white wine? It was an excellent pairing, complementing the menu beautifully. This is definitely an experience I'd love to repeat. Highly recommended!

This is the seafood place to visit in Barcelona. Everything is incredibly fresh and delicious. It's not cheap, but absolutely worth the price.

My third time visit here. Always they serve amazing fresh seafood. Red prawn from palamos (€45) is so good I could even eat the shell which was soft and tasty.

Went into this place after looking for seafood restaurants on Google maps round the Gothic Quarter. Went based on the reviews and thoroughly enjoyed it. From the outside it is a very unassuming looking place that you would easily walk past otherwise as you can't see the dining area that is at the rear past the kitchen area in the entrance. We went in at 20:00 and there were a couple of tables occupied but the place quickly filled up and was full by about 21:15. This gave a lively (and perhaps a little loud for some) atmosphere. The English menu isn't much help so it is best to ask about the dishes that are on the Spanish menu. It is a relaxed and friendly service by the small team. The seafood was exceptional. Had the Frutti de Mare to start followed by monkfish for main. Both were excellent and combined with a great bottle of white wine. After eating took the rest of wine and moved to a table next to the kitchen and saw loads of amazing dishes being prepared. The steak looked fantastic and definitely worth a return trip to try! It is fairly pricey - two mains, the shared seafood platter to start and bottle of white wine came to just over 100 euro but I think worth it for the quality of the food.

The best seafood in BCN. Grilled shellfish that was beautiful and the most tender octopus I've ever eaten. The wine was great too! Lovely family owned restaurant where all the staff are so friendly and helpful. We felt so welcome. We will definitely be back next time we visit Barcelona.

Kazu Naito

Local vibe and delicious food. Hidden gem where you need a decent amount of Spanish to eat in. Had some Foie which was delicious and good wine as well.

I wanted to try this restaurant for so long, and finally I did it! Amazing! It is not cheap, but everything is of supreme quality. The mussels are from another planet and the seafood is amazing. The fillet with foie is one of the best I’ve ever had, no words to describe it. Finally, the octopus is perfectly done. I wish I could go there every day!

Mikkel Knudsen

We were out for a late night snack and ended up in this restaurant that surprised BIG time. Warm and family like service in a fast pace. Lots of laughs and big smiles all eaving from all sides. Best seafood I've had for a very long time. Menu of the day presented on a hand written note in Spanish only, and we had no idea what we ordered, but rest assured EVERYTHING was above expectation.

Peter W. Ravn

One of the best and most authentic restaurants I have ever been to - the octopus, the scallops, the razor clams and the Norwegian lobster were all cooked to perfection! Rufo and his staff were busy and welcoming! See you next time!

Katie Bui

Amazing food!! We had the scallops, prawns, fruit of sea (bowl of shellfish delight), and sole. Everything was cooked grilled to perfection. The sole came with a bite of octopus that was to die for. I would have loved to have ordered the grilled octopus but we were full. Service was friendly and patient with our mediocre Spanish. Also we arrived just before the lunch crush. Their was a line of people as we were midway thru the meal. Clearly a sign of popularity. It was also fun to watch the grandpa and grandma shouting orders to their kids. Great family run establishment. Best meal we had in Barcelona.

We came as two couples and often order family-style, sharing everything. When we mentioned that to José, our server, he smiled and said, “Let me take care of it.” He took the menu and planned a beaut…

Gran calidad de los platos, materia primera y ejecución. Un servicio impectable y el local es moderno y acogedor. No le doy 5/5 porque me parece caro el precio de las bebidas. Una caña 4,5 eur y una más grande 6,5 eur me parece demasiado. Pero por el resto todo bien. Ticket 3 personas 225 eur

Comida de muy buena calidad y muy bien tratada. Ambiente agradable. Trato esquisito. Hemos pedido opciones sin gluten y nos han adaptado todos los platos. Especialmente recomendable el atún en todas variedades y la pluma a la brasa. Para repetir.

Food was fresh with good portions. I had the pulpo and camaron which were both good but quite expensive (€75 total + tips). Small area but service was good.

Located adjacent to the Mercat Santa Caterina, this place has a tiny dining room in the rear that serves up delicious seafood. Worth visiting for a fantastic lunch.

El restaurant es espectacular, el servicio exquisito. Muy bien decorado y iluminado. Los 3 puntos son por la relacion calidad precio. El calamar en tempura insipido igual que el pulpo con robata. Pero el unagui de anguila espectacular y el niguiri de salmon picante brutal.

Emilie Savvides

Most of the servers there were really nice, but our main server really gave us an attitude from the get-go, which was odd. We didn't have a reservation and were prepared to just move on to the next restaurant if there wasn't any space, but the very nice owner still let us in. That one server gave us a bad attitude for it though, as if we forced them to let us in 😭😭 Weird experience when it comes to service, but the food was good! A little bit on the salty side, but clearly very fresh!!! With octopus it's always easy to tell if it comes from the freezer, but this one was so tender and fresh, just great!

Really service has not change and continue as familiar as before, related food was very good but prices has increased. Probably will come back after summer when won't be so much tourist to check be…

Keith Yuen

While the ambiance was nice, I was taken aback by the pricing. €181 for just two dishes for two adults and a child feels excessive. If you're okay with paying a premium for what you get, then this might be the place for you. Otherwise, I suggest looking elsewhere for better value.

Martin Bondoc

Left feeling ripped off. Spent considerably way more than expected. We also paid for four oysters and two of them came from the same oyster…just split in half. The seafood platter was pretty good, but that was it and it wasn’t worth €30+ Euros (the English menu had no prices). The restaurant had no diners when we came in and the next two parties that came after we sat down, the waiter decided to cramp us all in one corner. Additionally, there were no soap in the washroom. A rare unpleasant experience in our trip to Barcelona.
