    Whipped cream with nuts. No cake, no pie, no ice cream.

    Food was meh. Prices were high. Service was mid. For my husband's 55th birthday dessert, they gave him a small pile of whipped cream. Only whipped cream ??? There has got to be better fine dining on the shore than this place.

    Group of 7 friends out for a birthday lunch. The location is picturesque, great for impressing out of town visitors. Food is good, but very pricy. We all had an amazing lunch and kept the celebration going after. Special meal, for a special friend. Good times and great experience.

    While in Barcelona, our driver called this restaurant for us and got us a 10:15 pm reservation. Our party included my husband, my two year old, and me. I wasn't sure what to except because there were a mix of 5-star as well as 1-star reviews, so it was hard to gauge what to expect. 1. Service was great. I was stressed out about eating dinner so late with a jet-lagged toddler at a restaurant where he seemed to be the only child. They brought him colored pencils and coloring pages. The staff spoke directly to him and engaged him. Thank you! 2. We ordered the seafood paella and tuna tartare to share. The food came out in about 15-20 minutes. The tuna tartare was fresh, seasoned well, and delicious. The paella was great! My two-year-old gobbled it up and kept asking for "more rice!!". I was worried it would be too fishy, but it wasn't. I'm not even that big of a seafood fan, but I ate/tasted everything. We got to sit near the kitchen area, and this was great for my son. He enjoyed watching the cooks. I was pleased with my experience. According to our driver, the restaurant patrons are a mix of tourists and locals. I'd recommend this restaurant to others.

    Nothing was bad, just so bland. Nothing standout. It's a super busy popular restaurant with a lovely location, but everything lacked flavor and seasoning. I had a sole fish, which looked beautiful, but it looks like they cut open a fish and heated it and voila. Just boring. Tasty, well cooked, but nothing memorable. Even the veggies on the side tasted like they just came out of the oven from the freezer. Store bought. Nice ambiance. Amazing that the place does so well.

    Galician-style octopus (Pulpo). Delicious!

    Found this place from a referral from a local photographer in Barcelona. It's a beautiful restaurant hidden in the corner next to the sea with a view of the sea (though the sea is virtually pitch black if you come at night albeit with nice fires at the balcony). Indeed, it felt as if we were the only non-Spanish speaking party at the restaurant. It was filled with local families and couples. The inside is absolutely gorgeous with an open view of the professional kitchen and staff running around. The service was excellent as well. As for the food, the seafood dishes are presented in a great way that brings out the natural flavors of the fish if that's what you like. Most of the dishes don't have much seasoning/salt, which we greatly enjoyed. The Galician-style octopus (Pulpo) was really unique and had a nice, fatty texture that reminded me of pork tongue/ear. As a referral for a great paella restaurant, Barceloneta unfortunately lost its 5-star for me because the paella was a minor letdown. While the rice and seafood were cooked well in texture, the flavor was overly salty contrary to the other dishes we had. It tasted like too much XO seafood sauce was poured into the rice which made it incredibly salty and masking of the natural seafood flavors (you can tell just by looking at the dish). Overall, I would come back for the seafood and beautiful interior of Barceloneta. While I wouldn't come here specifically for the paella, it was still enjoyable and a lot of the other seafood dishes were all memorably delicious.

    Love this place!! One of my local friends recommended me here and the food was fabulous! The Jamón ibérico is the best I've ever eaten in my life. And great polite service and atmosphere is perfect!! Words aren't enough but it's just a brilliant atmosphere. Must try it and you will like it here too!

    A good food with terrible service, not even knowledge over the most basic drinks ( old fashioned) , service out of the protocolar order.. vast wine list.. poor fool bar... Now the food.. fish good, paella not too good, appetizer a decent experience.. but not great... the side order ( espárragos ) never came.. Any way, if you leave Barcelona not visiting this place you haven't lose anything.. by the way order the salt the humidity has every salt dispenser not working. By the way pricey for nothing exceptional.. maybe someone show to bring me the check

    The interior of this spot is incredible, both design and architecture. Makes the space feel very elevated. Loved the mango spring rolls, very unique. I got the curry dish for entree. It was decent, could've used more spice and flavor.

    In April 7th 2024 at 2:50pm I was sit together with my family and my bother's family (4 adults 4 kids). The first thing I will say is that the food it's ok but definitely not worth the price, it was 4:30pm and and still waiting for everyone's food when I told them that I had a place to be at 5:00pm the only thing they say was "the food is coming", when the food finally came it was 4:45pm and 10 minutes later I told them that we are still waiting on my wife's paella. At 5:00pm I couldn't wait no more and ask for the check which I was given in less than 10 seconds. The bill was 350 euro and my wife never got to eat her paella. Was in a rush and never put a formal complaint to the manager but glad that I'm doing it now. Only good thing was the drinks but 1 star anyway.

    Epic seafood worth every penny. Great atmosphere and he service was next level. If you want an authentic Catalan seafood experience in a restaurant that can host large parties this is the one.

    We came here off a local recommendation for good seafood but to be honest the food wasn't particularly memorable. I wouldn't say it was explicitly bad or great, just kind of coasting somewhere in between. The service, however, was excellent. In fact, I enjoyed our waiter more than anything else. Everyone was incredibly friendly and they were great about accommodating our large group

    Tiramisu

    Had dinner here tonight for my 60th birthday. No special acknowledgment was made after my husband told them when making the reservation. Dinner was very good. Service was not very attentive. Long period of time passed between courses and had to request additional wine and water. I will say it was the best tiramisu I have ever eaten !!

    Just waiting for these clowns to figure out what they are doing.

My Greek salad was very authentic and was as good as any salad I had while I lived in Greece. Very fresh vegetables, great Feta and seasoned to perfection. The shrimp scampi under the Tapas menu with garlic was equally good and oh so tasty. The smallish inside restaurant is best described as rustic and a tad warm. Instead I opted for the outside dining area, which has just a few tables but offered a very pleasant ambiance in the small side street this business is located on with low foot traffic and a very nice breeze on the warm day I dined here. The relaxed dining on the outside is definitely the way to go here especially during the summer months. From a negative standpoint, certain aspects of the service were too slow. I was seated pretty quickly upon arrival but I waited a tad bit too long to get my order in. Once ordered though, the food came pretty quickly on a positive note. However, for all intents and purposes the service stopped at that point where I had no follow up and literally had to walk inside the business to get my bill. Overall, the dining experience was still great for me slow service aside as the quality of the food and outdoor ambiance far outweighed the negatives. I would say if you are in a bit of there rush you may want to look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a relaxing dining experience with great food than this business will be definitely fit the bill!

Ziryab seemed to fit the bill, so we made plans to stop here during our first night in the city. Ziryab is located close to the Gothic Quarter, on side street. It's kind of inconspicuous from the outside, but the interior gives way to a really welcoming space. The restaurant is separated into two main areas, with an earth-tone color scheme that has a rustic, almost cave-like aesthetic. The high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows keep the dining room open and spacious. The tapas menu had a good selection, and we decided on several items: pan con tomate, sweet potato rolls, chicken cannelloni, bacon-wrapped figs, croquettes, falafel, and a charcuterie board. All the tapas were great - my favorites were the chicken cannelloni, pan con tomate, and the charcuterie board. The cannelloni especially was a standout - definitely a unique dish, and the chicken was super flavorful. We opted for dessert, and got the feta whip cheesecake - this was great as well. The combination of tang and sweet was a good finisher to our meal. Service was great - everyone was friendly and our dishes were served at a good pace. Overall, I'm glad I tried out Ziryab - the tapas were delicious and atypical of ones you find elsewhere in Barcelona. I would have no qualms returning here for another meal.

We ordered fresh salmon with dill, coroquetas de jamón iberico, a cod fritter, and chicken cannelloni with foie gras and black truffle sauce. We also ordered the pan with tomate, of course to soak up the truffle sauce. The cannelloni was amazing! I mean it melted in your mouth amazing!! After our snacks... We ordered dessert. We ordered their homemade Belgian chocolate ice cream, which is hands-down, the best chocolate ice cream I've ever eaten. And we also ordered their version of a crème brûlée called crema Catalonya! Both desserts were amazing, however, I highly recommend the Belgian chocolate ice cream. Overall, the experience was amazing and I hope to pop in again before we leave. Enjoy!

It's done so right, juicy tangy, bursting with flavors and the pita in the salad is made into a curly flower and gives a delicious crunch. We liked the dish of garbanzo and yogurt a bit less, as it was quite heavy and lacked flavor. My son was very pleased with shish tavouk with chicken, and I loved my halloumi dish.
