Came for dinner while here for 2 nights. Wanted a really delish and authentic paella from Barcelona. 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. read more

I thought this place would be great since it has outdoor seating with heaters right next to the beach! It ended up being so overpriced! Their "market seafood" paella came with two prawns and six clams and they quoted almost 100€. I attached the receipt because I honestly couldn't believe it!!! This is for TWO people... I ended up getting the Senyoret rice, which they described as having "socarrat", that had "crispy bottom". As you can see in the photo, it was nowhere near crispy. For two people it came out to 52€, and it just wasn't worth it. The fish was overcooked, too. The cocktails had barely any alcohol, which was disappointing. We switched to a bottle of wine. One waiter was pretty dismissive and didn't bother giving any recommendations. Another server from Argentina was actually very kind and helpful. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place and I definitely wouldn't go back. read more

Great location with a cozy outdoor table. The servers both were very attentive and gave us great advice as we worked through some tapas on the menu. And the wine suggested was great! read more

We came here to celebrate my birthday and I read that this place is know for paella. Location is great! Just right off the beach. It Spain wasn't going through a heatwave it would've been amazing weather. They are meant to tell you about the fresh catch of the day but sadly we didn't get to hear about it. Also the paella is served with a wooden spoon. It's supposed to taste better with it. 3/5 Tuna - was just ok. 3/5 Paella - it was quite salty. We were told the dish with everything unpeeled and de shelled was the best but I prefer it all on 2/5 Oysters with caviar - very fishy and did not taste good 3/5 Bread and olives - maybe the best thing that we ordered but it was just bread lol Would I come back or recommend the place? Probably not. read more

Wonderful staff right above the beach. Great everything. Landed here by accident and had a wonderful time. Met a young couple from UK. A wedding dress business owner and her husband a civil engineer. Super nice staff. Really great for both food and hospitality. We plan on going back and visiting again with Eduardo our host, Radim and Alati. I seriously mean the whole experience is one of the best I've ever had for a casual spot and reasonable prices. read more

Terrible service. 45 minutes in and no one ever ever came to serve us. Only for them to sell us 2/3 items we wanted were out. They don't care about you. Don't go here , there is many better places to go that is happier to take your money.they were only interested in selling me over priced items . Couldn't even bother to bring us water. Don't come read more

We stayed in Barcelona at the Hotel Arts and wanted a place close to the hotel for our first night in Barcelona after a long international flight in. Our hotel concierge recommended Can Fisher and I'm glad they did! The hotel concierge made reservations for us about a month or so in advance and we arrived about 5-10 minutes prior to our dinner reservation and were seated promptly and were greeted warmly by the host. Our server came by a few minutes later after we were seated and offered to answer any questions we had on the menu. He was very nice, and we had several other servers wait on us as well that were also all very nice. We ordered the liter of red sangria to start for 23 euros, and it was very good! For an appetizer, we started with the Catalan bread for 3 euros, along with the Iberian ham for 19 euros. We also ordered a few croquettes for a few euros each. All of the starters were absolutely amazing! For our entree, we ordered the Chicken Paella for 23 euros a person. The paella was a large portion served in a skillet and was plenty big for two people to share. The paella was absolutely the best paella I have ever tasted and was extremely flavorful! Can Fisher was a great place to start our Barcelona trip and I'm so glad we tried the restaurant! read more

The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, with nice beach views. The service at Can Fisher is fantastic. We started with a beer and some sangria and delicious bread with aioli. The bread was warm and crusty, and the aioli was creamy and rich with a perfect balance of garlic. It was the perfect way to start our lunch. For the main course we ordered the whole fish (sea bass) grilled and served with grilled vegetables and bakes potatoes. The flavor of the fish was delicious, meaty and flakey, served with lemon, salt & olive oil. For dessert we did the Belgian chocolate ice cream with burbon vanilla- yum!! If you're looking for the perfect laid back lunch with a beach view, make sure to check out Can Fisher. read more

Fabulous dinner ! It was beautiful and the service was amazing. It right at the beach and fantastic.

Make sure to grab a reservation because it's difficult to get in. It's a super busy restaurant but has a nice ocean breeze. The service is a bit slow but the meat paella is super yummy!!! The black squid ink is a bit on the sweeter side and don't give as much seafood compared to other places. The calamari is great especially with the sauce. read more

Nice spot if you're looking for a restaurant by the beach that can seat large parties both in and outdoors. Has good beach vibes suitable for both casual and business casual dining. Food is okay, as you'll find better around. Service is sub-par. With a packed restaurant maybe the staff was overwhelmed, but to forget an order, check on the status 35 minutes later, then come back another 30 minutes later to say items have ran out is far from great. read more

Veery overpriced and expensive experience that felt like a tourist trap. We paid almost 200€ for a lobster paella that from its portion was only enough to feed two people. The taste was average, I had better ones in Barcelona and I wouldn't order it again not even for 40€. The mushroom and cheese croquette were good. The red shrimp croquettes was not. The cheese cake at the end was alright. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Barcelona, beach and seafood! You can't go wrong with this tasty option... pitchers of sangria and fresh cocktails, accompanied by fresh cuisines from the sea make this a definite destination eating stop. Staff is very friendly however it helps to speak a little Spanish. Open restaurant with great beach front views allows the breeze to make a perfect day! Casual, beach attire, family friendly environment. Love it here! read more

My least favorite meal in Spain. I was dining solo and did not feel the staff paid me any attention. They dropped off menus and did not come back for 15 mins or so and asked me what I wanted. I didnt know there was paella and specials of the night until I oberheard a waiter telling another table. Service was extremely slow. I had the rice with prawns and mussels....it was OK, nothing to rave about and wish there was more seafood,. The shrimp were very small once you removed the head and shell. The only good part was the view beautiful from the outside table but I had to move in because it got too cold. read more

Nice ambiance along the strand, overlooking the water. Ordered the black arrow paella (recommended by waiter) with seafood. Seafood tasted fresh, but clams were small and over grilled in my opinion, shrimp could use a bit more seasoning, squid was yum. Rice was good but a little too salty. Overall, not bad. Tomato on bread a bit bland for me, bread a little too crunchy for me. Paired it with white vino per recommendation and it was nice. Would I go here again, maybe not. Friendly service, food may take a while. read more

Before our trip to Barcelona, I did some research on beachfront restaurants that were not to touristy, and I had good food and Can Fisher came up on the list so we decided to give it a try. Location is really great, and is probably the best thing about this spot. Service was not great especially considering that it is a large tourist crowd, it took us a while to flag someone down to get drinks, etc.. food overall was good, but not the best paella I had while in Spain, and the prices are definitely inflated because of the beach side location. I would say that if you are looking for a beach side spot like we were, this is probably one of your better options but if you just want paella or seafood in general they are probably better options. read more

This seaside restaurant has a great location. Overlooking the beach. Food is really good. The paella was amazing. All of the staff were terrific. Fast and friendly. Prices were very high. read more

Overpriced. Rushed. A few prawns on top of rice isn't paella. We've had the best paella in Valencia and had hoped to get something comparable here - what a let down. Unsure why Hotel Arts recommends so highly. Something fishy going on there... pun intended. I'm sure ambiance is better during the day. At night with the plastic drapes down it's just an underwhelming experience. read more

Meh and expensive, super touristy price and really mid for the delivery. The soft eggs with sea urchin was memorable, the rest on par or a bit lower than the city center real deal spots. This was the only restaurant that asked for service fee on top of bill. There's no need for tips in most places in Spain. Best dinner we had was at Alapar almost 20 dishes tasting menu and 80 euros per person and didn't ask or take a tip. That place deserves the highest rating for service, food, atmosphere, oh yea the previous restaurant by the same owners had a Michelin star duh. read more

Not bad, not great. My world-traveling foodie family thought the food here was all just fine, and more specifically enjoyed our oceanfront stroll to the restaurant and its beach view location. I'd come back if I found myself in the area without any other options, but this doesn't exactly make my list of recommendations on "where to go" when it Barcelona. I'm told Escribà, a couple doors down is better. read more

Can Fisher? More like Can Shitter. Place was overpriced with horrible service. More importantly, the food was an atrocity. Burger was raw and the paella portion was laughable. Felt sick as soon as I took my first bite. If you're looking for a restaurant in Barcelona by the beach, please do not consider this establishment. read more

After my disappointing experience on July 7th, I decided to give Can Fisher another chance, hoping that my favorite restaurant would redeem itself. Unfortunately, on August 11th, the situation only worsened, and I had to leave before even placing an order. It's clear that Can Fisher has lost its touch, and I can no longer recommend this place to anyone--especially not those with children. Having previously left a negative review after my visit on July 7th, I was hesitant but decided to return to Can Fisher on August 11th, as it had once been a favorite of mine. This time, I reserved a table for five, including two couples and a two-year-old child. I dropped off my guests at the door and went to park the car, only to return and find that, despite the restaurant being nearly empty with only four tables seated, we were once again placed in the sun with the same filthy baby chairs from my last visit. When I arrived, I asked one of the employees to reconsider our seating arrangement, but was met with the same argument as before: "The sun will eventually go down." However, if you arrive at 1:00 PM, the sun doesn't disappear until around 2:30 PM or later, which is far too long to sit in direct sunlight, especially with a young child. I requested that they reconsider our table, and the manager came over to offer us two options: stay at the current table or move inside, where the temperature was even higher. This was baffling, considering that 90% of the outdoor tables were unoccupied. To make matters worse, as we were discussing this with one employee, multiple other staff members interrupted, trying to sell us drinks and their expensive seafood, talking over each other in the process. This chaotic and unprofessional behavior left us feeling frustrated and disrespected. When I finally decided to leave, one of the employees had the audacity to call us rude simply because I asked to go due to their disruptive conduct. This experience confirmed that Can Fisher is not a place to bring children, or even adults who expect decent service. The restaurant seems more focused on pushing sales than providing a pleasant dining experience. It's becoming a complete scam at this point, and I'll be watching to see if they still charge the €50 reservation fee after this debacle. I'll update my review once I know. For now, I strongly advise against dining at Can Fisher. read more

WHY?!? JUST WHY?! Do not have a clue why people recommend this place. We made reservations in advance for our anniversary. Was on time. Waited 15 min for a server. Another 15 for a drink. Ordered oysters, thry were decent (6 for 26 euro), paella, the special for 100 Euro... an hour and a half later have yet to be served. Had to find manager just now. He apoligized, said it will be another 6 minutes. Fifteen minutes later got the food with no utilsils. Decent food but hands down worst service at any place in Europe we have traveled EVER! For over 250 euro, I am absolutely shocked. Thank you for ruining our 2nd night in Spain! I usually do not post but this was so bad that I felt needed. read more

Food is great ! Cocktails are fantastic!! Ambience is on the beach so what else could be better. Adrian was our server and he was 100% superb. So patient. So professional. His assistants also served with a warm smile and great attitude. I ordered the hamburger believer it or not and even though my company ordered seafood I was 100% satisfied with the huge beef patty and warm steak fries. Loved it!! Will I close some videos that mark the whole adventure here at this very quaint and fantastic restaurant on the beach. read more

I stopped into this to sea front restaurant situation along a busy walkway along the beach on a Sunday. I was lucky to get a table for one right up front. I had a great view not only of the sea but of the goings on in the restaurant. I asked my server to make suggestions on wine and food and she made excellent choices. She spoke to the 'fisherman' and selected some small shrimp, larger shrimp, clams and sardines. All were deliciously prepared. Also, the olives that were served were amazing. The servers seems very busy and a bit frantic. My server did apologize for not being able to be as attentive to me, but I understood and saw that the restaurant was super busy and there were some demanding larger parties. The assistant servers/bus people were also very friendly even though they were clearly stressed. I enoyed this restaurant very much. The food was super fresh and delicious and it was a great spot for people watching. read more

Service was slow, overworked staff. Restaurant smelled very fishy and our rice dish had very over cooked and under seasoned meat.

Tourist trap!!! When we showed for a paella dinner, the waiter said to flag him down when we are ready for drinks, then was no where to be found. They bring you a tray of seafood and give you the recommended choice for seafood. The recommendation was 150 euros for a shared plate. We narrowed down the seafood to shrimp and clams, and it still was 101 euros. The rice alone was 29 euros. The paella was very salty. Although they serve it on a large skillet, the paella is a single layer and most stuck to the pan. The sangria was decent. read more

Mediocre, overpriced paella. Shrimps were as tiny as you can find, the cuddle fish was rubbery and the rice was lacking in flavor. This is a tourist trap. Don't bother. read more

A group of us that traveled from the States needed a place for dinner the night of arrival. We walked towards the beach from our hotel and Can Fisher was one of the first restaurants we hit. My wife and I split the paella. It was a black rice variety. The taste was good but definitely different. Two of the folks we were with ordered the salmon and said it was just ok, possible under cooked. We did get a nice table outside to fit the 7 of us. Definitely 3.5 stars, just didn't meet my 4 start recommendation. read more

The restaurant is lovely, the decor, the ambience, the view....all great. The downside was that we had an 8 p.m. reservation on a Friday and they had literally run out of almost every dinner plate option worth trying (fish...gone, sardines..all out, etc.) and they didn't even have the products to make one of their speciality drinks. Come on.....we can do better than that! This made the experience less than expected and it would be difficult for me to go back, given there are so many similar restaurants in the area. Bummer....but maybe you will have a better experience. (here is wishing and hoping for you!) read more

We originally only intended to get drinks but the staff talked up into the lobster instead. The lobster cake with two sides. Fried potatoes and steamed veggies. We ordered a pitcher of Sangria while we waited. Once the lobster came out, I knew it was going to be amazing. It was fresh and well seasoned. It was very, very meaty. Well worth the price tag. It was the best meal I've ever eaten in my life. We also orders the lime and ginger cheesecake. It was just ok really but the lobster, sangria and service made up for the cheesecake. read more

The location and friendliness of the staff was top notch. We had lot of poor service (by American standards) while in Barcelona, but Can Fisher was not one of them. We arrived without a reservation and they found us seating quickly. While I agree with others that the paella was too salty, everything else was fabulous. An added bonus was that the area was not crowded with tourists. We return led to the area the next day to have fun on the beach. read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. I organized a company dinner for 30 people. The communication prior to the event was awesome and super responsive. The day of the event, we arrived a little early to see if we could add four more people to the large group. The onsite manager was very accommodating and made the adjustments with no hesitation. We also had a smaller group that were seated on the patio. The service for the large group was so well timed. They had multiple people staging the food so everyone got served at the same time. The food and service were great! We also had the white wine sangria and it was so refreshing and delicious. The view from the restaurant is unparalleled! The windows all open up so the restaurant is all open air. I have already recommended this place to others. So impressed with this restaurant and the planning read more

Nice spot on the beach but outrageously overpriced. 40+ euros for a paella for 2 that was 95% rice and took 1 hour+ to make. Sangria pitcher was 22 euros. Crab cakes were the only thing that was worth it. Food was good but nothing memorable enough to warrant lunch costing 100+ euros (and this is speaking from a vacation mindset where we spend even more than usual). We just had dinner at a Michelin rated restaurant for less than this lunch :) read more
