    Paella (mix)
    Ed W.

    Best restaurant for paella in Barcelona. Restaurant is rustic and warm. Service is outstanding and very friendly. A friend leaving in Barcelona recommended it to me saying... "the place is unpretentious and out of the tourist seen" prices are incredible. We ordered a few things like tapa de chorizo picante (very good), Greek salad... skip it... and the mix paella for 2. We were 3. But I would say... order for 3 because you will not be able to stop eating this Paella. It is Delicious! The rice itself is so creamy, flavorful and tasty.... the socarrat... ufff. This paella was also full of seafood, pork, chicken and even meat. Just incredible. Do come here... but please don't tell anyone else about this place... we don't want it to change.

    Excellent food, excellent service . Thank you Leila for all recommendations and taking care of us during our visit . This restaurant not to be missed if visiting Barcelona .

    We had a full schedule so we decided to take a nap and woke up passed 9pm. Read that Bosque Palermo was open late till 2am so we hurried and got there around midnight (prevcovid times). I found out that the owner happened to be Filipina so that made me an instant, distant younger brother, from another father (hahah). It's a Filipino thing. I even got to practice my Tagalog, in the heart of Barcelona. I have to say for being open late - I was very surprised how good their paella was. It was very fresh and so tasty. Huge portions also especially the giant prawns. I had a local Catalan beer that was suggested by the owner but couldn't remember the name. It was really refreshing and excellent. We'd definitely come back here when we return to visit Barcelona when things settles and it's safe to travel again. Cheers!

    The best paella and spaghetti I've had in my life, for my first meal in Spain, this spot hit soooo good. It hit top tier Spanish food for me and so close to all the major sites. Definitely recommend checking out this spot for your next Barcelona visit and make sure to order the 4 cheese spaghetti. They do speak English here as well and service was great.

    Mixed paella for two- mixed = seafood and meat

    Today is Monday and we arrived here around 930 PM. Crowded but there were seats available for two, so we were promptly seated. This review is only based off of the mixed paella which consists of seafood and meat. Coming in, we knew that the serving is going to be a lot, so that is all we came for even though we were sOo tempted for other things. She let us know that the paella would take about 25 mins, and asked if we wanted any appetizers while we waited. We kindly declined and ordered a liter of sangria to sip on. It did take about the 20-25 for it to arrive, and I must admit it was the best paella I've had anywhere and the best I've had in Barcelona. We tried to do our best to lick the pan clean, and so we did. Left feeling 10 lbs heavier but it was def worth it! If you're looking for the best paella I highly recommend trying it here! Don't just stop by any spot because paella's are everywhere. Don't fall into the tourist trap!

    One of the few spur of the moment places we popped into and thoroughly enjoyed. Waiter constantly checked in and provided superb service. Didn't have expectations for 10euro paella but this would be my neighborhood spot if I lived in Barcelona. The baby squid provided a delightful burst of flavor and texture!

    The most amazingggg Paella here. We met amazing people at dinner since the place is so intimate and they also enjoyed their dishes. Nearly everyone ordered a paella. Different kinds and no complaints. We were so satisfied with our choice. All of the wait staff was friendly and attentive. They all helped each other. We ordered the Caesar salad, seafood paella, cava & red sangria, & ice cream bars. Would absolutely recommend.

    Seafood paella

    Visited Bosque Palermo for lunch while in Barcelona. They're open until 2:30, not the normal 1/1:30, so it gives you some extra time before siesta. They were really busy, and because of this the staff didn't seem very friendly. There was also an issue wIth my bill, but they were happy to fix it after I caught the mistake. Would recommend the paella!

    It's a place that was recommended to me by a person I trust, especially the paella . I'm guessing she didn't get to go to the best. I had the disadvantage of dining alone on most of my visits. They only make it for two. However, on one visit the table next to me couldn't finish theirs and shared. It was good, but not amazing. I had good jamon, prawns in garlic, squid, and many other dishes. Every one were good, but not amazing However, the whole "vibe" of the place, the friendly staff, and the mix of tourists and locals was really nice. I've eaten inside, at the bar, and outside. All have their pluses and minuses. If you are alone, the bar is great. You're also most likely to meet interesting locals there. Outside, on a nice night, is a great time. It's worth going to, but you can see from my reviews other places I'd recommend far more. I've been here more than my check-ins shows.

    Food was great, service definitely could've been better. The prices are good and I won't lie that house wine and red sangria are amazing. The tapas olives are pretty damn good as well

    Seafood paella
    Cece Y.

    This place is NOT awesome as reviews everywhere suggest, so I assume people keep coming because it's one of the few Barcelona restaurants reviewed on Yelp. It also has tons of reviews on TripAdvisor. Everyone dining here was either American or speaking English, so that just backs my theory! We had the seafood and meat paella dishes, which were both pretty mushy. The complimentary bread lightly brushed with a mild tomato sauce/olive oil mixture was okay though, so I ate more of that than our actual entrees.

    This place was great! We came here on our last night in Barcelona looking for some paella. We were not disappointed! It was so flavorful and perfectly cooked! Just make sure you order some tapas because it takes about 30 minutes to cook. We also ordered "a glass" of Sangria and oh my goodness it was huge! So delicious. The service was great, and the staff was friendly. It was a cute place, not oversized, and had a nice terrace outside that we sat at. We did call and get a reservation the same day and I recommend it just in case. Not always necessary but it's helpful especially if you come hungry.

    It was great in 2019. We had our family of five. Paella was spot on. Can't beat the house wine for price.

    Lastly don't be shy about the bottles of house wine - it's standard protocol to get several, and they're truly money well spent.

    Food was amazing! I don't remember the names of the tapas we ordered but everything was delicious!read more

    This is the first restaurant I stopped at for some tapas during my trip to Barcelona and it spoiled…read moreme. I ordered a few things so let me talk about each one. Ham & Chicken Croquette: This was too good for how small it was. Just a nice potato croquette filled with some great quality ham and chicken. It was akin to a cordon bleu. White Asparagus with Baby Beans and Ham: This one floored me. Tender white asparagus in a vinegar based sauce with some tender ham and beans. I could have had two orders of this. Pulpo (Octopus) with Pork Belly: Not the best Pulpo of the trip but it sure set the standard. The octopus was unbelievably tender and you can just taste how fresh it is. The pork belly slice almost felt like an odd choice here to be honest. I didn't really know how to eat it with the pulpo since it overpowered it. The pork belly itself wasn't very impressive either so I kinda brushed it off at the end. It was a bit dry at some parts and just kept throwing me off. Gambas roja a la plancha: Prawns are EVERYWHERE here and they know how to cook them. These were tasty but not the freshest or most flavorful I had this trip either. Always eat the shell! Scallops a la plancha in a leek-apple based sauce with bits of crisped ham: This dish on its own makes this place a 5. The sauce is DIVINE. It's a little sweet and creamy to contrast the savory, perfectly cooked scallops swimming in it. The crunchy bits of ham give you a nice texture surprise with some much needed salt to balance it all out. These scallops practically melted in my mouth with each bite. This is a must try. Beef filet and foie gras montadito: Basically steak and foie gras on a toasty slice of bread. Honestly? This was the weakest dish here. The steak itself was just okay and I didn't really like the foie gras. It was like a very gamey butter. I'm sure it has its applications but it just felt like too much going on here. I'd pass on it. Chocolate in 3 textures: So for dessert I wanted chocolate so I went for the choco bomb. It was okay. I guess the three textures were the ganache, mousse, and wafers? It just reminded me of an elevated chocolate wafer bar like one from Loaker. I'd also pass on this dessert. My server was lovely and the atmosphere here is vibrant. Though there were few misses I would absolutely eat here again and get the things I loved but switch up the rest. That's part of the fun in tapas anyway.

The service was excellent, our server spoke English and knew so much about American pop culture. He even sang NSYNC songs to us while serving us dishes. As for the food let's get into it: - Lobster Croquettes (8/10) We've had a lot of croquettes this trip, but these were on another level, get one per person. - Paella (7.5/10) Different style of paella from other places we went. It was almost like a paella curry, which was still rich and delicious. - Squid Sandwich (10/10) This is hands down the best appetizer I've ever had. The squid was packed with flavor and the mayo sauce they used paired perfectly. Order one per person, and be prepared to order another to go. - Garlic Shrimp (8/10) Solid entree paired with sourdough bread. Dip that bread into the sauce and you'll be satisfied. - Aged Beef Steak w/ Foie Gras (9/10) This might be one of the best steak dishes I've had traveling abroad. It was cooked perfectly, and came with a potato crust on the bottom and Foie Gras on top. Definitely a must order. Overall a great experience, from the service and ambiance to the quality of the food, this is a must try when visiting Barcelona. Would I go again? Absolutely!

Cañete was booked out for 2 weeks straight, so we decided to risk it and see if we could get a spot as walk-ins; and were lucky enough to want less than 5 minutes before being sat at the "bar" in front of the open kitchen, which is honestly the best seat in the house IMHO. You get to see all the 'action' and interact with the friendly and often funny staff. Everything in the menu we tried was fantastic, but a few standouts for me were the squid sandwich (do yourself a favor and try it, even if you aren't a "squid person" the bread is fresh, and the butter garlic sauce they use should be sold in bottles at the supermarket), the lobster croquet was refreshing, and the aged beef steak with foie and truffle sauce was delicious and cooked to perfection.

We decided to do a more upscale experience when my in-laws flew in to show them the food scene in Barcelona and this did not disappoint. We had a reservation for 8pm and arrived just beforehand. We were seated in the back of the cellar, which created an intimate yet unique experience. We were greeted by Max, who was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered drinks to start - which consisted of some old fashions and sangria's. Highly recommend! For appetizers, we ordered the duck salad and the octopus. Honestly, both were absolutely fabulous. The octopus was made to perfection and the duck was tender and delicious. We ordered some steaks - medium rare and the lambchops. All things were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this establishment when visiting Barcelona for a nice and romantic dinner.

Gorgeous Cave-Like setting right in the heart of The Gothic Quarter. For food we got: - both Peach and Red Sangria's - maybe the best in Spain. 15 Euros so not cheap - Pan Con Tomate - first time having this dish -- great, - Iberian "Pluma" Acorn Fed Pork - so tender and amazing! - Cod (Bacalao) - perfectly baked I must give a shout out to our amazing waiter LUCAS who spoke excellent english and gave some perfect recommendations. We got here at 7:30 and it was quiet -- but quickly filled up and was totally full by 8:30. It's more expensive than most restaurants but for that you get quality service, superb food, linen napkins, and soft jazz music. We wanted to come again the next night but it was totally booked! Trip Advisor rates this as #57 (as of May 2026) but I think it should be in the top 10. Book a table early guys -- this restaurant will not disappoint you!
