Wow, what a place. Came here last night for dinner and will probably go again tonight! Great service and great food. The duck paella was so smooth and creamy. The duck was plentiful and tender. The padron peppers on top were perfectly cooked. For some reason, we were given glasses of crema de orujo on the house! Sweet and smooth. The waiters and waitresses were all very friendly--we shook all of their hands as we left. We didn't make reservations, so we went early at 7pm and got a very nice table by the window. Cocktails were a bit too expensive for our budget (8€ for the blackberry mojito), but looked delicious. read more

This place is awesome. The seafood paella is very good. We're gonna come back and try the duck. Plus, if you're here you gotta try the BlackBerry mojito read more

Decent duck paella, expected lot more based on prior reviews .. food is decent but not special

Make sure to make a reservation, or go during lunch on a weekday. The service and food are amazing. We ordered the duck paella and it was so delicious. The BlackBerry mojito is awesome. We kept their business card to make sure we remember to go again next time we are in Spain. read more

The duck paella!!! Don't leave Barcelona without tasting it. Also the tuna mango special was to die for. BlackBerry mojitos and sangria were great too! read more

Great food. The iberian pork was excellent. We tried the duck paella, it was excellent as well. They have a table set on a glass cover, you can see 10ft down. Its pretty cool. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! Met the owner and who I believe to be his wife and they really knew the definition of hospitality. We didn't make a reservation so we had to wait about 30 minutes, but we went to the bar next door and he said that he would walk over and get us when our table was ready. It was just about 30 minutes and he came and got us. As for the food, amazing and well developed flavors. Everything was balanced and you can tell the chef and owner have an understanding on how food should be cared for. We got the both paellas, AMAZING. And the ceviche starter. The ceviche was balanced and had cubes of watermelon for the perfect fresh zing. I wish they had this place back in the states because I would be here everyday. Thank you Arume for a fantastic dinner!!! read more

On our last night in Barcelona, we managed to get a table at Arume (even though it was St. Jordi's day and the city was packed)! What a cute place Arume is; quaint and cozy, with a very interesting decor! We knew we could have our table for two hours and that was plenty of time to enjoy a fabulous meal at this restaurant. We tried two different kinds of paella and they were both fabulous. They make a fine sangria too. The service was impeccable. We found out that it was our server's first day at the restaurant but she was so professional and friendly, you would imagine she had been part of the establishment forever. Glad we got a chance to try Restaurante Arume. I should mention that we had to make the reservation through e-mail. They were responsive and the process was easy. read more

Having been recommended by a friend, I checked out the place with my parents while visiting Barcelona. The waitresses are extremely friendly and service minded. One of them gave us some great recommendations of drinks, appetizers and main course. We especially loved the famous blackberry mojito and lamb as main course. I look forward to going back there next time I visit. read more

Went here last night. It was great! If you're in Barcelona definitely worth trying. The atmosphere was beautiful and the wait staff was amazing. For starters we had the scallops and chorizo tacos, we knew the entrees would be great after just eating the starters. For an entree I tried the sea bass with crab stuffed leaks and wow they were great. I was also able to sample some of my companions food, the lamb, the duck paella and seafood paella which were very good. The blackberry mojito was the best mojito I've had yet. To end the night were small copas of Orujo cream (yum). read more

Very awesome place, the food is amazing. You need to order the blackberry mojito. It's the best mojito I ever had

For some reason, our non english speaking cab drive would not take us to this recommended restaurant. The next cabbie, said the reason is that it is located in the most dangerous part of town. We went anyways and were glad we did. The service and food was excellent, and the owner came by and spent some time with us, talking about the place. Be sure you have them get you a cab when you are done. I don't know what the hoopla was about the location, as when we left it looked as normal as any part of the city read more

Amazing cocktails, great service and tasty food. Some of the food was incredible and some was a bit lackluster... But overall this is a wonderful place to dine. read more

This place was our best find in Barcelona! On a small street that even experienced cab drivers don't know without gps, it may appear a hole in the wall place as you approach it. Do not be deceived! From the moment you are welcomed, the experienced and knowledgeable wait staff is attentive and helpful. This was the best ceviche any of us had ever eaten! The flavor of the varied ingredients in every dish were bursting with deliciousness! Caramelized goat cheese with caviar; blackberry mojitas, off the bone lamb, and Buratta salad- everything we ordered was top notch! read more

Just enjoyed a lovely meal here with my family whilst on vacation. Stopped by yesterday night and made a quick reservation for tonight, when we arrived we were welcomed back and given great service. Everyone enjoyed their meals- see the pics for how beautiful it all was. The ceviche and cookie desert were my favorite with lovely flowery ice cream. Seafood paella was perfect, not over cooked and mushy like it can be. My mother enjoyed the lasagna, and my brother and father enjoyed their respective meats. The restaurant design and layout is very unique- don't miss the underground skeleton! read more

Food heaven. I will always remember Barcelona fondly because of the meal I had here. Order the ceviche and paella!!

Amazing service and food, the lamb and scallops were sensational. Great area aware from all the tourist areas

Saw the good reviews on here so I thought I would check it. As other people have noted it is a good idea to make a reservation, I waited an hour before getting a single seat at the bar. The lady who was seated beside me who ordered after me got her seafood paella 15 minutes before I got my duck paella. The waitress seemed to have forgotten my order but then it showed up five minutes later. She offered me a shot to make up for it but how about you take the €3 still water off my bill instead. Food was fine but not worth the wait or the money. I'm sure there is some place better you can find for dinner. read more

Great little place in a funky part of town. Charming atmosphere, excellent service and outstanding cuisine. We arrived without a reservation as we just rolled into town. It was my wife's birthday and we thought we would stop by and see if they had a cancellation. They didn't have any "no shows" but set up a special table just for us. Amazing customer service and some of the friendliest wait staff on the planet. Thanks Arume, for a memorable dining experience. We will be back! read more

Go here!! It's a very cute spot with delicious food. They do take reservations and it's a good idea to make one or else you may have to wait s but. My husband and I luckily waited for about 10-15 minutes and we were then seated at this table over looking a skeleton. The signature black berry mojito was very good. We then ordered the chorizo tacos (so so so good), The tortilla (a bit too runny for me), and the mussels (very good) to start. For entrees we got the duck paella and the pork rib...both entrees were delicious!! The staff was so friendly that we ended up staying an hour longer just drinking and chatting with them. Really great place. read more

Loved everything about this place. Make reservations. We didn't and happened to get lucky with the last table. Blackberry mojito and fish tempura a must! read more

This place is fantastic on all levels. The food is remarkable and the service could not have been friendlier. If I lived in Barcelona, I would eat there all the time. I can't even recommend one or two dishes, as every plate was phenomenal. This is a don't-miss restaurant. read more

I was so excited to visit this place all the way from New York City. Many of my friends who's visited this beautiful part of Barcelona has referred me here. I called to make a reservation for 2 and they said they were completely full for the night (that's ok, I understand). I did ask was seating at the bar ok if we find any, and the woman on the phone said "yes of course, but please keep in mind that it's first come first serve." I then said, "yes of course and that's totally understandable." So when we get there, we found two empty seats right up front! We were very excited, so we quickly sat down. As soon as we did, someone rushes to us and says "do you have a reservation?" We said "no and we understand that at the bar its first come first serve so we will sit here." She then says something under her breath to the bartender and the bartender states "well you have to get up and wait for a little because it hasn't been cleaned." The people next to us who's been sitting there for a while and already drinking says "it was just cleaned, they can sit." Then the bartender says, "wait you can't sit there because my sister and her friend are actually coming and I can't serve you there, I'm sorry." I was upset because the waitress at first lied to us and tried to blame it on "cleaning", then the bartender tried to save her family a seat as if I'm supposed to care being that I am a paying customer, it was packed and those were the only available seats. Not professional at all and I will not be visiting Arume again during my next visits. read more

This is one of the best meals I've ever had. Barcelona is a great food city but among several excellent meals Arume really stands out. Hard to say off one data point if we got the awesome stuff or if everything's awesome but we got: Sangria: excellent, really refreshing Blackberry mojito: also excellent Paella: oh wow, this was exceptional chorizo tacos: ridiculously good, probably the best dish of the night prawns: Very good (hard to get a 10/10 on something relatively simple) burrata with guacamole: only okay to good, a little salty and overly gooey texture (I could have anticipated this) read more

The food was amazing!! We tried blackberry mojitos which tasted soo good! And the service was excellent, I highly recommend this great place! read more

Starters were very good. Scallops cooked perfectly and chorizo tacos were great. Yum! Bit of a mix up with mains resulting in one of us eating at a different time to the other, hence the 4 stars. Food was amazing. The duck rice dish is very tasty and the red tuna was seared perfectly. Top tip: get the hazlenut cookie with violet icecream and marscaponie for desert - it is AMAZING!!! read more

This is a sister restaurant to Cera 23 which we went to last evening. Amazing food at a more than reasonable price. If you are a foodie this is a must. We started with the three (3) appetizers/tapas which included the fried octopus, Galacian tacos, and ceviche. We could have stopped there and had been completely satisfied but decided to take the plunge and each order an entree...red tuna and lamb. Whoa!!! Let me say, we didn't need dessert because each dish was a dessert in it's own right. Now we hear, there is a 3rd restaurant that they have just opened (Viana). So we may just make it over there before we have to go back to the US. read more

The food and service here is absolutely amazing. Came here for Christmas Day dinner and do not regret the decision to visit. Amazing cocktails, wine, appetizers, and entrees. The servers are happy to speak Spanish or English to customers, which is nice. Would highly recommend anyone to visit while stopping over in old Barcelona. My mouth died and went to heaven with each course. read more

We dined here the other night after seeing the reviews on yelp and it certainly didn't disappoint. We started with the Blackberry Mojitos which were superb and shared the goats cheese croquettes which were absolutely delicious. For our mains, my partner had the lamb and I had the pumpkin lasagna. The only criticism I had was that my lasanga felt like it was lacking something as the flavour to me was a little bland. My partner absolutely loved his lamb dish though! The service was excellent. I would throughly recommend this to friends visiting Barcelona. read more

I had a great time and great food here! Staff are extra friendly and fast, and food are just insanely good! It's probably little more hip than the classic tapas places i have been, but still I loved the creative and unique dishes as well as great Paella. My friends were having Mojito with black berry and black vodka. They loved it so much they just gulping glass after glass. read more

Had the blackberry mojito and it was great. Bottles of wine were low priced. Had the buratta and guacamole appetizer which was amazing. Also had the short rib and seafood paella also great. Dessert was crazy good...some of the best food is in Barcelona... get here if you can read more

This was a great surprise. I had read that it was good but it's really a very understated place with great food, great service and great atmosphere. It's in an old building which adds to the charm. Definitely on my list for any time I'm here. It is in an interesting part of town but again adds to the overall effort which is worth it. read more

I didn't have a reservation and yet they squeezed me in. Delicious food and not cheap either but worth the high price. I would recommend. Very friendly staff read more

Beautiful place for lunch. Recommended by a friend and was not disappointed. I arrived earlier than usual so I found a table right away, but I hear making reservations is the way to go because it does get filled. read more

The food, drinks and customer service were the best in Spain! Thanks so much for a fantastic and delicious experience.

The wait was truly worth it ! Every plate was perfect !! Enjoyed it thoroughly ! Staff is very friendly and helpful ! Overall value for money ! read more

I think a-ok is right. I had really high expectations given the reviews. The paella was ok. We have had better other places in bcn. The scallop appetizer was interesting. The fried octopus was interesting. They have a couple vegetarian options which is really nice given that there is so much meat here. read more

The best meal in Barcelona so far! Try galician octopus, duck paella and blackberry mohito! Absolutely delicious read more

Impeccable service and amazing food. One of our best experiences in Barcelona. We were anxiously awaiting each new dish. It's definitely worth trying if you are in this area. read more

The food (sausage and mushroom rice) was very good. The blackberry mojitos were just as good as everyone says, if not better. The service was somewhat lacking and frustrating (received two appetizers before even water or drinks 5 minutes later, timing on another entree almost seemed forgotten) even early in the evening, but overall would still recommend. read more
