I have been many times . Now I use to order paella Lobster (caldoso) and zamburiñas. The service is great and helpful. Nice and quite inside. read more

Good place to stop for dinner that was recommended by our Airbnb host. They offer the menu in about six different languages so there's no excuse not to stop in. For dinner, or anytime late at night you should make a reservation. Multiple parties were asked to leave if they didn't have a reservation. I'd arrive later than 8. We were the only people sitting outside at this time and genuinely felt like we were the elderly people with the early dinner here. We ordered the seafood paella which was tasty. I didn't know what to expect as it was my first paella ever but I thought it was good. My friends were disappointed with the small amount of seafood included in it. As a FYI, you have to have a minimum of two people for each paella. They have every option - meat, seafood, veggie, whatever - for paella. The service was wonderful and attentive. The staff was able to split our bill between our party which was helpful. Plus, they were super insistent upon our safety and the safety of our belongings by asking us to leave all bags in our laps and not on the table, ground, or chairs for someone to steal. read more

Amazing food all along from starters to main. Nice atmosphere and great staff. Will definitely get back. read more

The fideus dish was phenomenal, bursting with flavor, and the service was impeccable. Great ambiance too! Loved it can wait to go back

Can Ramonet was recommended to us by a friend. It didn't disappoint. We liked the location and enjoyed sampling their menu.

This place was recommended to me for great paella, so I had to check it out during a 2 day stay in Barcelona. We got the seafood paella, and it was tasty but not as much seafood as I would have hoped. They say the paella serves a minimum of 2 people, but we did not even finish it all between 3 of us, so the portions are pretty large. Service was good, and there was ample outdoor seating. Be sure to make a reservation, they will likely not seat you after 8 without one. read more

Excellent authentic paellas and sangrias! There were not a lot tables so I recommend making a reservation in advanced.

They must have picked up that my friend and I were American right away. We tried to order a bottle of wine and they kept saying "we don't have that one" to every one. Then they talked us into their "house" red which they brought out in an unmarked bottle and was clearly just the dregs of unfinished bottles. It was the worst wine I have ever tasted. They kept asking us how we liked it with smirks on their faces, over and over. "You like it, right? You think it's good right?" Should have left right then and there, but we are dumb Americans after all. We ordered calamari as an app and paella as a main. The calamari was deep fried so hard it looked like Burger King onion rings. I would have sent it back at a TGI Fridays in Omaha. I have never seen any place in Spain serve seafood that heavily fried before. The paella arrived about 8 minutes after we ordered it. This should not be possible - should be 20 minutes minimum. The rice was soupy and the seafood was burnt. There was no soccarat. My friend and I choked down about 1/8 of it and asked for the check. We got played, and we were ready to take the L and leave. The waiter took the barely eaten paella and showed it to the other waiter across the patio. They both burst out laughing. They charged us 59 Euro. We realized later our meal should have been 42. We didn't care - just wanted to go find somewhere else to eat. So we paid and left. If you're local, they'll probably treat you right. If you're American, not so much. It's also possible their food is just shitty. read more

Food was meh, and worse its in a bad neighberhood. lots of thefts and as tourists be careful. Lots of snatchers. They will take your belongings while eating. Fun! read more

We stopped by here while walking in Barceloneta to have a drink. It was pleasant enough, the service was slow, but I've come to expect that in Spain. We stayed because the food smelled so good and they had clams on the menu. 15 Euros for an appetizer was a lot, and it was appetizer portions. However it was delicious! The waiter couldn't be bothered to ask if we wanted anything else, like to order bread to soak up the sauce, so we ended up eating the sauce like soup with the clam shells. If they had been a bit quicker and cheaper we would have stayed and spent more money. Effectively, they inspired us to go home and cook a big meal. The inside was spacious and seemed to cater to large tourist groups, English and German. The plates of paella being served to tables of 10 smelled enticing. The full tables and aroma told me that they were doing something right, if not for my mood that day. read more

Went there because of great review on devour Barcelona tours videos. I would say it was "ok". We had the Dua Bombas which were good, I would have said no squid ink sauce if I'd known to. We had also grilled squid and sardines. We also ordered the highly recommended Fedua paella. It needed more seafood and depth of seasoning. Cool old place though been there since 1753. Nice waiter. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

This was probably the worst restaurant we ate in Barcelona. The paella was just really awful. It was full of tourists with absolutely no locals, if that says anything. It was also so expensive. We were two adults there with our two young sons and we ordered tapas and a paella. I assumed with all of the food we ordered we were getting the paella for two as listed on the menu as we were not asked for how many we wanted. When the paella came we had so much food we could barely eat the paella (not a bad thing because it was TERRIBLE). The bill came and we were charged for 4 paella. The waiter proceeded to tell me we discussed it was for 4 which was a complete fabrication. Just seemed like a total tourist trap that does that to foreigners. Yuck all around. read more

With I could give zero stars! Owners must be making the reviews up to get people in. Overpriced, poor service and dirty place!

A producer colleague of mine said it was "the best" non-touristy spot for seafood paella... and he-was-right! Since this was my first paella (had seafood paella), anything after this will have BIG shoes to fill. Service was great and attentive. It's a bit hidden, but don't let that deter you. When you find it, you will find culinary happiness. read more

Came here for dinner - 1 Canadian, 1 French, 1 American, 1 Icelandic, 4 Finnish members to our party. With this diverse array of food tasters we ordered several tapas - Octopus & potato (wow!), shrimps with garlic (wow wow!), patatas bravas (we ordered twice after the two servings disappeared), and the classic tomato bread. We then ordered a lobster paella (counts as 2 portions, best anyone at the table had sampled so far on this trip to Barcelona), grilled fish plate, catalan sausage, and veal with roquefort sauce. Two bottles of white later - we all tumbled out of the restaurant more than satisfied with the food, the service, and the company. This is a relatively inexpensive restaurant if you know what to order and eat in a family style manner. We all sampled all the plates to maximize the experience. Then we wandered the streets (walking distance from pretty much everything) to enjoy the La Mercé festival. read more

Amazing spot. They don't speak English so you know it's mainly local customers. The food was amazing, they have some real authentic tapas dishes. Just go with the flow I'll not tell you what I had, ask what is good if you aren't sure, be patient with the language barrier the food is worth it. It was humorous ordering to be honest. really great older staff, in a lovely little restaurant which is posted as being the oldest in the port area, which is 1753. We were recommended this place by a local read more

The food was very good. I had the roasted vegetables with goat cheese appetizer. The flavors were varied and it tasted delicious. I also had the vegetable paella which was also very good The baked sea bass was amazing. It so well seasoned and the potatoes on top seemed to be baked with it in all the wonderful seasonings. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Spain. The catalan creme Brulee was not warm. It tasted okay. I wouldn't order the brulee again. If it weren't for the long wait to be acknowledged and seated the second time I was there, even though there were plenty of empty chairs, they would have received five stars. read more

There is no way I'll eat there again... Expensive and not really good... If you want to eat close to the street with its noise and smells, you can go there. It will be a plus for your dull course. read more

Yummy food. Decent service, a little pricey compared to other places in the area but overall we were happy with our food here. The fishermen's soup paella was good but a little lacking in seafood. The Arroz negro was awesome. Pan de tomate is lacking. read more

Fresh seafood in a beautiful little restaurant in the Barceloneta. We had a really fresh surf and turf paella and an excellent pineapple carpaccio with sorbet. Yeah, that's right, pineapple carpaccio, and it was bad ass. Don't make the mistake we made and beat the heat in the AC dining room in the back with all the locals. My wife wanted to sit outside while we sweated puddles under our chairs while everyone else was inside eating a civilized meal. Try this place, it's legit. read more

This was our stop for a too-quick lunch last February 2018 and our introduction to tapas in Barcelona. Menu in English. Food delicious. Staff very nice. We only had a few plates. I think we had a lunch special of fried anchovies "boquerón frito", which was tasty, and one classic "bomba," which I enjoyed. I wish we had had more time, because we liked this restaurant very much. read more

Featured in both Lonely Planet and Afar I figured Can Ramonet would be a sure bet for lunch near the beach. However my experience fell short, into the basic category. Good enough to eat but nothing that will make you remember your meal later on. read more

Their seafood paella and lobster paella are probably the best in town! Combine it with Sangria then you have da bomb to make your stomach couldn'e be more happy ;) read more

Stayed in El Born for a week and ate here three times. The paella is excellent and the staff is extremely friendly. Highly recommended.

Very reliable and enjoyable seafood and fish restaurant in the Barceloneta district. Probably the neighbourhood's most well-known restaurant. It's been around in its current incarnation since 1956, but people have been frequenting the spot for food since the mid-18th Century. Apparently the Barceloneta's oldest building. Wonderful entrance area, with upturned barrels used as tables, lots of fresh fish and crustaceans on display, and a splendid tiled dining room at the back. Friendly, welcoming service, super-fresh catch of the day, and perfectly executed accompaniments such as asparagus and aubergines, patatas bravas and other urgent comforts. Having a cold beer and some bravas is a good way to start a long lunch. The fish is invariably splendid. A fine establishment. They've got a newer, more upmarket one around the corner, but it decidedly lacks the atmosphere. read more

Needed a place to eat in barceloneta..... Wasn't sold on anything we read about. Luckily there was a guy who lives in the neighborhood and recommended we walk to the circle and see what our options were. We really wanted tapas and sangria. We looked at the menu and saw that they had a lobster paella and my oh my...was it amazing..... It was three of us...we got a pitcher of sangria....three apps(cod salad, salad with goat cheese, and fried squid rings), and a lobster paella for two and the rabbit...check came up to 101.10 Euros....not bad....yesterday we ate at a place we thought was good but this restaurant was by far the best food we've had thus far. Can't wait to see what's in store for tomorrow read more

Can Ramonet - Our feast - Catalan Near Me - Barcelona, B

Food was one of the most expensive of our visit. Seems to be geared towards tourists. Seafood paella for two was proportioned exactly for two. No more, no less. And it didn't contain much seafood. The mussels were dried up too. read more

Went here late one Friday night and had a nice meal. It's not the BEST food I've had in Barcelona,but it's pretty durn good. I especially recommend the very tasty fishermans paella. A bit on the noisy side but a pleasant experience. read more

Total old world feel. I ordered the grilled monkfish (not on the menu) and it was huge! Think TBone steak size. Fishermans clams w pepper were sweeet since they were all baby size. Will definitely.make it back here on my next Barcelona trip read more

We went here three adults and to children. We chose this restaurant mainly because it was close to our hotel, we were tired and hungry, and because the served other things than fish and tapas, which the kids doesn't eat. The food was alright. Nothing special, but if you don't have the highest standards it will do just fine. But not a restaurant that I would recommend, I won't come back and it wasn't a visit to remember. read more

This place came recommended for the paella. From my point of view if it doesn't have socarrat it's just rice hot dish. Flavor was there but absolutely zero crunch. We ordered 2 pans and neither had it. I wonder if lack of socarrat is send back worthy? Like under done chicken. Would look elsewhere if the crunch is important to you. read more

Our second time here. Had best monkfish ever, sauce was rich yet not too creamy tomato based with fresh herbs--excellent and the fish was perfectly cooked. Had monkfish many times before and often tough and over cooked. Duck was also very good with a delicious syrup-like reduction that was hearty and rich. Seabass with potatoes also a winner, potatoes with peppers made a perfect combination. Angel was our server who was somewhat knowledgeable of English. He Made it fun communicating, he was patient and honest about choices guiding us when we had questions. We finished with chocolate coulant---simply a terrific ending. read more

Absolutely horrible food and even worse service. The waiters are not only unfriendly but incompetent. We ate here as we read good reviews but could not be farther from the truth. Also, everything is overstated and overpriced. read more
