Using the tried and true "What spot has the most diners" criteria we ended up in Restaurant Sa Gambina. We started with some Cadaqués oysters on the half-shell (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/C5Jf8T7vkSGxxbRsXK59ZA?select=aNwId7yspOVeu8o22cCFwA). A lemon wedge was provided with no other sauces. They tasted fresh and briney. Arroz Negro (paella with squid ink) was our entree (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/C5Jf8T7vkSGxxbRsXK59ZA?select=zYuKnNr0QuGVh6N2l1GtzA) and was chock full of nicely cooked seafood. It was one of the few paellas we had in Spain with a nice socarrat (the carmelized crusty rice on the bottom of the paella pan). Food was very good. Service was rather indifferent. I saw that Trip Advisor reviews rip this place. Most of the reviews are from after we were there so maybe we got lucky, it's gone downhill, or we have no taste for Spanish food.

New number 972 606 979/638 151 553 Hours of operation : Lunch 1pm - 4pm Dinner 8pm-11pm Wednesday closed all day Tues open for lunch only. Came by this place since it was close to where I was at that time.. There seems to be so many good seafood restaurants in this town. I've been to different restaurant in Barcelona with similar style. But this place preps the dish different style and full service.. The restaurant was very clean, stylish and friendly staff. You pick the seafood, they weight it front of you and cost to cook the style you want. I ordered 2 fresh oysters. Lady helping us said it was her favorite kind/imported from France. $5 a pop so ordered 2 only . Ordered sea urchin, baby clams cooked with garlic and parsley. Also ordered the lagosta arrossos caldosos style.. I was told it was like paella but more soup style.. Only thing I was not happy with was that they had to split it and make it into 2 order which ended up costing 80 euro. But I was in a splurging mood so I decided to go for it. Also ordered fried calamari. So for starter bread.. Seems all the bread main in Spain is yummy. Ordered beer and water... First came oysters and sea urchin.. Oyster was definitely good.. Nice plump size and fresh. Sea urchin was different than one I'm used to. Smaller size but more sweet and less irony. Fried calamari was also yummy. Nice tender and the breading was just right. Baby clam also fresh clean and full of flavor. Now the main dish.. It came in a bit bowl and it reminded me of gumbo. I was bit disappointed to see that it basically had double amount of all dente rice. So one lagosta split in half double amount of rice for 80 euros. This could have been made one serving for 40 euro but that was not an option. But over all it was good. First time having lagosta (weird looking lobster). I think I would have preferred prepared it grilled. Now to dessert.. Order tiramisu and xuixo de girona (was told Girona dessert). Tiramisu in a little cup.. Omg.. I have to say this was one of the best tiramisu I've ever eaten.. Soooo melt in your mouth, I'm in heaven dessert. The other one looked like fried egg roll sprinkled with sugar. Inside was cream I'm told. That was also yummy.. Nice crispy outside and inside was warm, sweet, and bread pudding texture.. That was also yummy. Over all it was good experience and food was yummy.. I would definitely come back here again.

There is nice terrace seating in a crowded alley and the inside looked comfortably rustic. The service was great and I give credit to the one waitress that took care of the entire place. The menu was read to us, so basically I think it's what comes in off the boat in the morning. Here's the thing, we loved it but I think the prices are a bit steep. There were three of us and we rallied 138€ for tomato salad (which was divine, mouth watering ripe tomatoes seasoned perfectly with salt and olive oil). Also, baby squid that were grilled perfectly, not chewy, just perfect, the seasoning was simplistic but effective. We had razor clams that once again where cooked perfectly and really stood on their own with a bit of lemon. We had white tuna, which was great but not enough to feed a child. Finally, we had monkfish, it was glorious, almost the entire fish was served chopped up. Again, cooked perfectly and seasoned simplistically. The monkfish should have been good because it was almost a third of the bill at 44€. I give 4 stars because it was an experience to try but I don't think I would do it again due to cost.

To be fair, the salads and escalivada are perfectly fine - which makes the rest of the meal feel like a bait-and-switch scam, just with more olive oil. The fish? Not bad, actually. But then comes the rice, which is less paella and more "what happens when risotto gives up on its dreams." Sticky, watery, and somehow both overcooked and underwhelming - a culinary paradox. If you enjoy feeling duped while chewing through regret, Can Rafa is your spot. Otherwise, do yourself a favor: admire it from the outside and keep walking. Fast.
