I typically try to avoid the main tourist restaurant strips but ended up going here after a forgot to make a reservation elsewhere. It was excellent. I got a range of different seafood items, the only item that was less than excellent was the razor clams (typically one of my favorites) but everything else was great. The Sangria is good.... More

The place might look very touristic but the food is really good. You must definitely try the sangria that they make there but remember that its a strong one.

The food was fine, and the choice was great. It is a good choice for dinner. And definitely waiter Tariq will make you laugh.

Visited this restaurant in Barcelona whilst on a Thompsons cruise. Nicely situated overlooking the yacht harbour and amongst many other such establishments. We were a party of four out for a spot of lunch so we ordered four tapas and drinks. The food was excellent and the prices very reasonable. Service, as provided by Tariq was also very good. I...

...but we went in anyway because I was starving. We had sangria and a variety of tapas. My husband had the gambas al ajillo and I had a variety of cheese, with their tomato bread. The food was about average, the service slightly pushy. It was more expensive than your usual tapas place in Barcelona.

We do not consider a tourist restaurant, but our location is what we have. Unfortunately, if you think our service a bit overwhelming, but the waiters try what the client is best served as possible. Thank you very much for your letter! More

My partner and I only decided to opt for this restaurant due to the decent reviews on TA. The staff were friendly enough a little cheeky perhaps (in a good way) but the food was a bit overpriced for what we received. We only ordered a bit of tapas and a vegetable paella and to be honest - I could... More

Thank you for your writing! Unfortunately, if the vegetable paella was not to your liking .. Yeah, maybe our specialty are the tapas, paella and seafood ... But we have a corner in our menu to cater for vegetarians. Maybe we need to improve this. We note! More

Our waiter was Tariq, a charming man, who made my friend a cork memento! Really good service and value for money (menu del dia). Gambas alio was delicious but the portion was tiny. Would return if I ever visit Barcelona again! :D

I spent a long time scouting for a decent restaurant on New Year's Eve. I hadn't booked and most places were hosting special dinners for the occasion. The frontage of seafood restaurants in Barceloneta is impressive, ranging from the cheap and cheerful to the posh and elegant. I chose this restaurant because it was busy and I liked the atmosphere.... More

Very good fish but no anything to create any sort of atmosphere. Pity, Barceloneta location deserves more, this makes no any difference among all restaurants in same street.
