Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-Visit Gem! A wonderful spot to enjoy delicious mussels, paella, and sangria! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the sweetest lady, and every waiter was kind & full of smiles. The food was fresh & flavorful! A small gem with big charm — definitely a must-visit!"
"We dropped by after we had a good time in Barceloneta beach. We ordered Paella and pulpo (it’s close to beach!) and enjoyed good piece of bread with fresh olive oil. Rice in Seafood Paella was cooked very nicely and this tasted really good. Pulpo was also really good and went well with Sangria. There must be good restaurants around this beach, but this also could be a good choice."
"We were walking along the beachfront, looking for some authentic food, with no specific place in mind. The owner was standing out front, and stepped to us, saying his restaurant is not good. We thought this is an interesting marketing strategy, so we started listening. He continued: the other restaurants are good, his is excellent. His overall personality was so charming, that we decided to have dinner at his place. Food was excellent, and service was prompt, everybody spoke good English. I don't leave Google reviews often, only when my experience is very bad or very good. This case was very much the latter!"
"I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The codfish fritters were fresh and hot, just perfect. The paella was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was excellent—very attentive and professional. The atmosphere was both relaxed and refined, creating a great balance for a comfortable dining experience. And the beer was cold and very good. Highly recommend!"
"Everytime we visit Barcelona we eat here. The food is great, both the tapas and the paella. It's also possible to order paella for one person, which is a huge plus for us. The waiters are very kind and attentive. The restaurant and the bathrooms are clean. High quality to price ratio, for this price you can't get anything better."
"Wonderful service. We arrived before our reservation and were made to feel welcome and comfortable. Our wonderful waitress helped us with selections: wine, tapas, paella, and dessert. We were two people but shared a giant meal for one, which was plenty of food."
"My friend and I ate here looking for a traditional dish and it was 10/10. The service was amazing. The staff and owners were very welcoming and the food was the best meals we had in Spain. The Brie fried cheese with blueberry Jam was our favourite. Beautiful location and not too far from the beach."
"The best restaurant in Barcelona ever! We came here to celebrate our mother’s birthday. The food was delicious,but it not the most important thing. The atmosphere and the staff are just amazing, they were so friendly and agreed to thing song with our candles on the cake. Our mom was so impressed,she also cried because of the emotions that the staff gave to here. My biggest recommendation to visit this place if you want to try great Spanish food and to feel amazing atmosphere from the big hearts of Spanish people."
