Conveniently located inside a hotel that shares their space with a sushi spot…read more I of course opted for the wine pairing. They have 3 options for the welcome drink. I opted for the yellow colored one. I'm however forgetting the name of it. The degustation menu is what I ended up getting instead of the one with two less dishes. They make one amazing dish which is the rice. It is so perfectly cooked. I feel like not one person who has had it would say they didn't like it. The presentation alone had me so hyped. It was so good I found myself crying tears of joy. Like it wouldn't stop to the point that I started to laugh at myself at the ridiculosity of it all. My table happened to have a great view of the kitchen. It was great to see the team as they worked as a team to get shit handled. The service was above and beyond. The floor team did a perfect job pacing every dish. Someone always refilled my water. The sommelier was amazing. He rolled out a cart of all the bottles used for the pairing. He handled the rude, drunk woman so graciously. That could never be me. I would've called her out for her rudeness. But he took her comments like a champ and turned it around.

I am super disappointed by this Michelin star restaurant. Aside from the pleasant ambiance, Xerta…read moreis only for show. My table and I all experienced the Delta menu. This menu is a tasting menu consisting of 6 different presentations of small dishes, most with a seafood theme. First plate, the chef's appetizers were not a bad start. The artfully crafted bite sized pieces were interesting in flavor and each was very different from the another. The second plate, 3 different presentations of fish on wonton type crackers. By far my favorite plate of the entire experience. The three types of tuna each had their own flavor profiles. The third plate, had a pretty flat flavor. It was like a mushroom creme with various mushrooms that only added texture and not flavor. The fourth plate, turbot with vegetables. It was a really fatty fish with an odd crust. I couldn't really tell you what the crust was, but it almost had a burnt taste to it and despite having this crust it was still pretty flavorless. I could only taste the oil of the fish. The fifth plate, red prawn black rice was a huge let down. The presentation was beautiful, but the entire dish was completely devoid of flavor. I don't think I've ever tasted something so bland. The squid was also no where to be found in the dish. This was a hard pass for me. The 6th dish was a beautiful presentation of a life like clementine with a soft mousse and popping pearls in the center. Lastly, three small sweets (coconut white chocolate with a pineapple filling, chocolate truffle with a fruit jam, and sweet potato ball with nuts). I'm not sure if this is apart of the official tasting menu, but it was served at the end of the lunch service. The staff were so incredibly nice, but service was slow and beverages were not refilled adequately. Additionally, the server spoke a poor level of English and was unable to communicate the various dishes in a way that I could understand. They did have English menus upon request, but I think part of the experience is the verbal explanation of what you're being served. Overall, I did not enjoy this tasting menu. Another important note is that everything was either cold or room temperature at best. Some dishes were meant to be cold, but I didn't think the turbot, rice, and mushroom demi-glaze cream thing, being served cold/room temperature was very nice. Most flavors fell short of the expectations and the hype around a Michelin reputation.

The ambience of the restaurant was great, and the paella was good-not amazing for 2 foodies on the hunt for really great food We ordered the paella and were significantly upsold on upgrading the seafood. The seafood was tasty but sparse and really cant say it left wither of us feeling fulfilled in our search. We went from $60 euros to $120 and still had 90% rice with a very small amount of small seafood pieces. The mussels marinara appetizer was the best part and we enjoyed sitting facing the ocean. Would give this 3.5 if I could but couldnt stretch to 4.

We must've ordered eight rounds of the small clams -- the kids couldn't stop eating them! They were perfectly sweet, with just the right touch of garlic and butter. The mackerel was incredible -- it literally melts in your mouth. And for the carb lovers, the buñuelos de bacalao were unreal -- fluffy, light, and something I could eat every single day. Of course, the squid was fantastic too... but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu here.

The only dish I wasn't a big fan of was their octopus as it was a bit chewy and I didn't love the flavor. Service: Don't expect the most attentive service as they're pretty busy and things move pretty quickly. However, staff are very nice and welcoming. Atmosphere: Pretty much a hole in the wall and nothing fancy. A few tables inside so I would recommend getting there as early as possible as you may have to wait a pretty long time to get a table. Space is very small so expect tables to be very close together and not a lot of room to pass through when going to the bathroom. More suitable for smaller parties.

You get your orders as the food is done.. So I made about 4 trips to the window. First time coming to a restaurant where you pick your seafood and they cook them for you.. Over all the food was very fresh. Mussels are cooked with white wine, octopus steamed so i was told. Prawns and langoustine grilled I think. Over all food was pretty good. Price is pretty reasonable. I wouldn't say best seafood I've ever had but it was good and lots of food for price you pay.. Mussel were pretty good but not as good as ones I've had in Naples. You better know what you want.. They don't like you taking time and trying to decide what to get. I would come back here again.

We are so lucky to stumble upon La Paradeta, a precious seafood market two blocks from Sagrada…read moreFamilia. Varieties of seafood are ready to be cooked the way you wanted. Two of us picked 5 types of seafood, a salad and a fish soup. We tried the sangria as our drinks. Everything is beyond fantastic! We would highly recommend this seafood gem to all our friends. Here are a few tips for the first timers: 1) The workers at the order area don't understand English well. We pointed at the seafood for ordering. 2) Recommended to have the fish soup over mixed salad as an appetizer. The fish soup is made with lots of fish and ginger; and it carries so much flavor. 3) The mussels are a must-have and are so cheap (Under 10 Euros for huge portions). It's recommended to prepare in two ways: white wine and tomato sauce 4) The La Paradeta sauce (I e. A green basil sauce) goes very well with shrimps and razor clams. 5) The fried calamari was so delicious and perfectly paired with drizzles of lemon juice. Yet, it's so expensive (24 Euros for a very small portion). It doesn't feel as worth it as compared to something like lobsters (29 Euros/single lobster). 6) I noticed many people ordered a bottle of wine instead of Sangria. Will need to try next time!

Still, managed to make a decent mix for my solo dine. Pick from an impressive selection of seafood, get them weighed and priced, choose your choice of beverages, then pay and get your buzzer. No fuss. Enjoyed the grilled razor clams and shrimp but the octopus was my favorite - perfect tender texture, well seasoned, and swimming is velvety olive oil. Pass on the seafood stew that was watery and lacking much flavor. Great spot to make your holiday budget stretch while enjoying some fresh seafood!

This restaurant was literally right next to our stay in Barcelona--skipping it felt like a crime,…read moregiven the rave reviews. So, on a rainy afternoon, we gave it a shot. We arrived just after lunch opening and were the first customers. The guy at the counter was... efficient. He simply told us to pick what we wanted, tossed it in a bin, and that was that. No explanation of pricing or preparation methods. When we asked how they'd cook it, he casually offered "fried or grilled." Obviously, we chose grilled--why fry fresh seafood? We picked two giant prawns, two octopus tentacles, and two fish (since hubby can't have shellfish). He asked if we wanted salad or soup--reviews hyped the soup, so we went with that. Then he handed us a receipt, told us we were order #3, and sent us to the bar. At the bar, we ordered two sangrias and a water. The bartender asked if we wanted bread and sauce. Sure, why not? We assumed they were included. Surprise! The tiny baguettes cost €0.50 each, and the mystery "house sauce" (a questionable mix of thousand island and horseradish) was an extra €1. We only realized the charge when we saw the total: €73. Oh well, too late now. Then came the food pickup experience--chaotic, to say the least. The server practically barked at us to bring our receipt, aggressively crossed off items, and handed over soups and octopus, crammed onto a greasy tray. No effort at plating, just food haphazardly dumped onto plates. The second round--grilled fish and prawns--was more of the same. Now, the verdict: Soup (5/5) - Delicious and reasonably priced at €6. Would order again. Bread & Sauce (0/5) - Not free, not worth it. Hard pass. Octopus (€31.80 for two tentacles, 1/5) - Overpriced, greasy, and drowning in molten salt. Basically, eating a sodium bomb. Grilled Fish (€10.50 & €8.50, 3/5) - Decent, but unnecessarily oily. Grilled Prawns (€5.59, 0/5) - Mushy, not fresh, and borderline inedible. Final thoughts? Not worth it. With so many incredible food spots in Barcelona, why waste your meal quota here? If you want quality seafood, go to Cervecería Catalana--we spent €5 more, but a meal a thousand times better. Spend wisely and eat like a king.

What happened: On January 13th (at around 9 PM - I hope the owner of the business investigates his staff on this), my son and his roommate were having dinner there. He said that within a few minutes, a small group of men assembled outside of the restaurant. They then entered the restaurant and starting playing music at the tables and demanding money, even though my son and his roommate did not solicit them. They would not leave until my son gave them 8 Euros. Next, these people spoke to the staff in a language that was not Spanish or English and they were pointing at my son and his roommate and it was heard that they were mentioning that they were "Americans". Next, 4 items showed up that were not ordered by my son or his roommate and they said they did not order these items. The restaurant staff refused to reconcile this and forced my son to pay an extra 15 Euros for the items that he did not order and did not touch/eat. I am filing this complain on Google because it is obvious that the people in the restaurant have some kind of scam going with these people that entered the restaurant. They are failing to secure the restaurant from these people enterring and demainding money. I fault the restaurant for allowing these people in and for ripping my son off of about 25 EUR. The staff involved should be investigated and fired. An international traveller should be able to enjoy a meal without being ripped off and harassed.
