This place is amazing, I almost don't want to write about it so no one finds out about it but then I remembered that I don't live in Barcelona so it's okay to share with my fellow yelpers/tourists! Great prices, large portions. The paella isn't the best thing I"ve ever had but it's good enough. The service was great, the waitresses were friendly as with all people in Barcelona I feel like. The "fish platter" wasn't really a platter of fish but actually a platter of seafood! The house wine was only 3.75 EUR for the whole jug. Despite it being a little watery, it did its job. Maybe just get three jugs... Happy place, great good, what's stopping you from going? read more

The good: The Paella was really good not sure the best in Spain but very tasty. ChimiChurri Ribs were amazing. The flavor was soo good we decided to try the other meet entrees but they left a lot to be desired. Not so good: Lamb and Goat entrees just weren't seasoned as well as the ribs. read more

Ate here our first night in Barcelona. We were staying in the area and wanted to stay in the neighborhood. Not a big place, but they fit you in somehow. The house wine is from a tap in the wall and is good for 3.75€ a jug!! We had the baby octopus, sirloin steak and then the sausage. I would recommend for sure to get the octopus!! read more

Every place we been to always asked if we had reservations. Nope not this place. We got seated right away on a Saturday evening around 8pm. They had a fair amount of diners at that time too. What to order? THE SEAFOOD PAELLA!!!! Honestly this was probably the best and most flavorful paella I;ve ever had. It wasn't too salty for my liking. Good amount of seafood. However, my only disappointment was that the shrimp and the crawfish was overcooked. Other than that, DELICIOUS! The grilled baby octopus for an appetizer was also great too! Who doesn't like crunchy tentacles? Friendly staff, great service. read more

My husband and I wanted to find a good paella restaurant since Barcelona is known for its paella. We searched on yelp and saw the high reviews so we decided to come. My experience was good and bad. If you are prepared to deal with the following, I think you would enjoy this restaurant. Negatives: be prepared to wait awhile before you get seated and finally eat your dinner. After we arrived, we patiently waited in line. I tried telling the waiter that we wanted a table for two but he was so busy that he buzzed right by me without paying any attention. There was no list, which made our experience even more frustrating. Two rude couples skipped right to the front to be seated. We were pissed because they totally cut in line. I wish there was more order to the wait process. I also wish that the staff had told us that we could wait at the bar and order drinks. When we arrived, the bar counter was busy w a lot of people so we waited outside. When the cutters went up front, they just sat themselves at the bar and ordered drinks. Tip: make a reservation before you arrive. In regards to the food, we ordered the meat paella. It was pretty good but a little salty. It took about 30 min plus to get our dish. They were pretty fast in serving our salad. I highly recommend that you order the mussels for about five euros. It was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was pretty nice and efficient. If you are prepared to deal with some seating drama and aren't too hungry when you arrive, this place is perfect. read more

Five stars for the paella (ask for the off menu meat one). Very off the beaten path. The service is nothing to write home about and the ambience is a solid one star - but the paella!! Make a reservation. read more

Bosque Palermo - The meat paella (ask for it-not on the printed menu). - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

Perfect. This place is just perfect. Sangria, grilled seafood, paella--they all hit the spot. It's a Saturday night, so this place was crowded and we had to sit outside. It's still winter here, but it was okay because they big heaters near the tables. The sangria was probably the best I had here in my stay in Barcelona. It had the perfect blend of sweetness and spirits, without being too overwhelming. The grilled seafood platter is every seafood lovers dream. They were grilled to perfection and definitely not dry. And you can't complain about the price with it being about €16-18. The paella was loaded with mixed seafood and was so delicious. This place is a must-go for anyone visiting here in Barcelona. read more

FOOD Ordered the seafood paella for two and unfortunately it looked better than it tasted. The rice was so salty! Also, I was super annoyed with the amount of closed clams there were. Why would you not discard that? It was clearly cooked separately and then placed on top. -____- Seafood was not freeeeeesh. Also, quite a few mussels were cracked so it was annoying that the pieces were all over. I was wondering of they were forced open because they probably never opened either? Also ordered the Clams and Shrimp with Ajillo. There were like three shrimps and yeah, not great either. Also had sangria. Again, not great. SERVICE There was a theme tonight. Not. Great. The service was not great. At the end we asked for our check and they brought out the dessert menu. Asked for our check again. They didn't bother to bring the check so we asked another person who eventually brought the check. VERDICT Stay. Away. Well, unless you like salty food. read more

Enjoyed my dining experience here! We were fortunate to grab a table outside and ordered the Paella which takes about 35-40 min to prepare. In the meantime, we ordered Mussels and Calamari. Appetizers were fine nothing that jumped out but we were set on the main course. When the Paella arrived (good for 2ppl) I noticed the amount of seafood didn't match the price of the plate. Flavors and taste were delicious and I wish the broth had a bit more spice or kick to it. I know it's a seafood Paella but I was anticipating some type of chorizo or sausage in the meal. Overall, it was very satisfying and I may have had higher expectations. . read more

Mixed grilled seafood was my favorite. The grilled salmon was cooked to perfection. No hint of a fishy smell. The seafood in paella wasn't as fresh as the seafood in the mixed grilled seafood. read more

Would you like some paella with your salt? Sooooo salty it burns your tongue. People love this place and we can't figure out why. Service was slow even by European standards. The people next to us were in love with this place and left us scratching our heads. So I don't know if this review is very helpful. I do know I've had paella before that was much better than this. Good luck. read more

Absolutely without a doubt the best paella I've had - and I don't even like seafood that much! The paella is for two people and comes with huge, fresh clams and shrimp among other things. Was recommended to visit this place by the hostel I was staying at and I was definitely not disappointed. A must try if you're in Barcelona! read more

Bosque Palermo - Seafood Paella for 2 - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

The one thing I was looking forward to the minute i entered into Spanish property was to devour every grain of paella possible. But instead I decided to go to the best. I yelped for Paella and went to the highest rated location which was Bosque Palermo. This place is located in the La Ramblas area mixed in with a thousand other tapas and paella joints. It is a small mom-and-pop location. You walk in and you will see a small bar on the left with a small tapas station. To the right and back is the dining area. I ordered the seafood Paella and got a ginormous platter only to be devoured within 20 mins. Their sangria was very strong but that's how i like it. They also give you some bread to start but nothing special with that. Outside the restaurant are a few seats for outdoor eating, however with bugs and garbage and cars driving, it's not really the greatest spot. Plus you have a bunch of old regulars sitting there smoking half the time. Keep in mind that to get the best food you must go to the more rustic locations. I miss Paella now after writing this. read more

This place has the best paella! Absolutely delicious! The service - not so great. We went there on a Monday afternoon, and the owner said we'd have to wait for 1-1.5 hours since the place is fully reserved, even though half the tables were vacant. When we told him that we called 30 mins prior to check if there's waiting and we were told it wouldn't be a problem, he said okay, and asked a waiter to make arrangements for a table for us. There was a small round table in the corner cramped in between the bar, the entrance door and an arcade table. The waiter put a tablecloth there and gave us 2 bar stools to sit. We were fine with it. But then, it took the same waiter 15 mins to come back and ask us for water! We placed our order at the same time. It took another 30 mins to get the order! To be fair, the guy behind the bar was nice and checked on us a couple of times, but our waiter didn't check in or give us any sort of update even once the entire time. I should deduct another star, but the paella, once it came, was delightful. I should also mention that when we left, more than 1/4th of the tables were still vacant. I'd still recommend you go to this place to for the paella. Hopefully you'll receive better service than we did. read more

Stumbled into this restaurant while looking for another and I'm glad we did! Great little place with indoor and outdoor tables, great food, and nice staff. Food was delicious and huge portions for the price. We got 3 tapas, 3 entres, and 2 bottle of house wine all for 50 euros! Cooked well and tasty. Going back before leaving Barcelona :) read more

The baby octopus was fresh and very tender, definitely get that. Paella was very good as well, although the seafood in it was overcooked and my partner found it to be too salty. Wine is 2.25 euro a glass I was kind of grossed out by all the flies on the walls and flying around me but tried my best to ignore it. Overall, a great place to get some authentic seafood paella! read more

I came to Bosque Palermo based on a recommendation for good paella without all the fuss and away from all the tourists. I would agree with the last two parts of that statement. However, my nice waiter tricked me! I ordered what they called "Paella" in their English menu despite speaking primarily Spanish with him. *Sigh* That said, the other few dishes ordered were quite good especially the 5 euro foie gras appetizer! The salad, sangria and tomato bread were good too. Also, as is common in Spanish tradition, the locals probably won't come in until around 9pm for dinner. I'd go back BUT VERIFY that you're getting real paella... although what I got was actually pretty good. read more

Spent the last dinner of our 2 week journey through Spain here and I have no regrets! Very good food and very reasonable prices. We all wanted paella before we headed back because, oddly enough, we had barely had any paella during our trip here. We ordered seafood paella for 2 and vegetable paella for 2, a bottle of Rioja, a few bottled waters for the table, and 2 desserts (flan and crema Catalana of which we all preferred the flan) for just 65 Euros... a great value! read more

This place is so touristy, everyone was speaking in English! We got the seafood and meat paella for 2 (which is the minimum order-2 people per paella). It was ok but very salty, but I think most are. I liked how you can eat off the pan versus other places where they scoop it off onto plates for you. We also had the champagne white sangria in a pitcher, which was nice and sweet. They also provided us with bread with tomato sauce and olive oil (a signature bread dish in Spain!). read more

Honestly, delicious carne paella. The only thing that stopped this place from having completely five stars is the slowness in service. Maybe I am not used to the slow service but the workers were really sweet as one of the waiters let me charge my phone in the restaurant. Keep in mind it takes 30-40 minutes for them to make the paella when you order it. It's definitely fresh and tasty, but a rather time consuming visit. So if you are short on time, I wouldn't recommend going here. But if you would like a nice and sweet and intimate setting with a genuine experience of paella, please stop by! read more

We arrived at around 9 and had to wait around 30 minutes for a 5-person table, but we were seated in a pretty timely manner in a nice table in the attic area. The waiter was super sweet and attentive (as long as you speak Spanish with him!). Pulpitas a la plancha (grilled octopus) was divine - tender, juicy, tenderly cooked. Everything else was a-OK: jamon iberico, calamari fritters, seafood risotto, and seafood paella. The risotta and paella bases were very well-done, but the dishes were overly salty and some of the seafood was not that fresh. Overall, a pretty good meal. Bill came out to around €70 after taxes for 5 for food + carafe of sangria. read more

I absolutely love this place. This was my first meal in Barcelona and definitely raised the bar super high. The pig ears, grilled octopus, and seafood paella are must-gets. The sangria is a bit on the stronger side, so personally, it wasn't the best. My friends and I also tried a few other places with great tapas, but this place is still the top. :) read more

Great food, great prices. Very popular with locals and increasingly tourists. You won't get a table for 30mins+ unless you book. We ate around 10pm on a Wednesday night. Every table busy with people waiting. Quality food, great value, best to order off the daily menu, the hand written one. (that's the food the chef wants to cook!). Super waitress made it a top quality night, plus meeting Matt & Charlotte (they shared their paella with me!) and we continued our night with them. The fried green chillis with salt are amazing, if you go for a main dish, they're quite light on vegetables, so best order vegetable sides. read more

Fantastic food and lively atmosphere. The staff is attentive although they can be extremely busy any night of the week and you'll have to fight for their attention. Food arrives quite fast even when they are busy. It's a little noisy inside and near a busy road outside but the food is fantastic and worth it. Seafood Paella is great and I've had it twice now. Consistently excellent both times. They recently remodeled and the place looks clean yet still feels local and with a family restaurant atmosphere. read more

You ever ate something so good that you thought your taste bud was tricking you so you had to go back and have it again. This is how I felt about this restaurant the food is absolutely amazing like I am actually sad that I'm back in the States and can't find good food like this but please go try it for yourself. You gotta try the paella and just tell them to keep bringing the house wine it's good and cheap. I also had the goat ribs which were good some of my party had the oxtails, which were falling off the bone, if you're a steak lover you won't be disappointed. I mean everything was good. read more

I was in this place last night and the experience was just fantastic. It was my first night in Spain so I wanted to try their paella.
