I was on a search for pulpo when I came across this gem of a spot! Initially had another location…read morebookmarked, but turns out it's a chain and we managed to find one somewhat near the beach! We came in and ordered a pulpo de la gallega, pig ears, razor clams and jamon croquettes. The pulpo was delicious and satisfied my craving! It was cooked perfectly, tender and well seasoned from the salt and paprika. The razor clams were a little gritty, so I don't think they were cleaned well. But they also gave us a generous serving of razor clams! Pig ear were good, but I couldn't eat too much of it because it was very gelatinous. The ham croquettes were also enjoyable, crispy on the outside and generously filled with a velvety sauce. To complement your meal, you absolutely must get their lemon beer! Your experience here is not complete without the lemon beer! I saw a lot of other reviews saying the staff isn't the most amicable or pleasant here, but I honestly had a great time here. Our server was rather welcoming and hospitable! Everything on the menu is in Spanish and the workers speak mostly Spanish, but I think you can always show pics and point.

If you're in Barcelona and love seafood, Bar Celta Pulpería is non-negotiable. We stumbled in…read morelooking for good pulpo and left planning our next visit. The star of the show? The octopus. Perfectly cooked--tender, smoky, with just the right hit of paprika and sea salt. It's the kind of dish you pause to savor and then secretly hope everyone else at your table is too full to finish theirs. But it doesn't stop there. The gambas were plump and juicy, the calamari was crisp without being greasy, and the razor clams melted in your mouth. Each dish came out fast, fresh, and steaming hot. The quality of the seafood here is just spectacular--clearly fresh from the market. And then there's Joane, our server, who made the whole experience even better. Friendly, fast, and full of personality--he recommended dishes we might not have thought to order, and every single one was a hit. He kept the atmosphere upbeat and genuinely seemed to enjoy taking care of us. A true professional with a warm smile and perfect timing. It's a casual, lively place where locals and travelers sit shoulder to shoulder, and the energy is contagious. No frills, no gimmicks--just incredible Galician-style seafood done exactly right. Five stars without hesitation. Go for the octopus, stay for everything else--and ask for Joane if you can. He'll take great care of you

This restaurant was so good we ended up coming back multiple times during our stay! Very close to the beach, plenty of outdoor seating, and the best pitchers of Sangria we've ever had. Perfectly sweet, full of fruit, and extra boozy. We ordered so much food here, the pizza being one of the best pizzas we had in Spain! It was simple yet delicious. The greek salad, prawns, and clams were also among our top favs. The service was great each time we came. Very friendly and attentive, even when it was super busy! If you are looking for a great spot for food, drinks, and proximity to the beach, this is the spot to be!

I opted for the yellow colored one. I'm however forgetting the name of it. The degustation menu is what I ended up getting instead of the one with two less dishes. They make one amazing dish which is the rice. It is so perfectly cooked. I feel like not one person who has had it would say they didn't like it. The presentation alone had me so hyped. It was so good I found myself crying tears of joy. Like it wouldn't stop to the point that I started to laugh at myself at the ridiculosity of it all. My table happened to have a great view of the kitchen. It was great to see the team as they worked as a team to get shit handled. The service was above and beyond. The floor team did a perfect job pacing every dish. Someone always refilled my water. The sommelier was amazing. He rolled out a cart of all the bottles used for the pairing. He handled the rude, drunk woman so graciously. That could never be me. I would've called her out for her rudeness. But he took her comments like a champ and turned it around.

I am super disappointed by this Michelin star restaurant. Aside from the pleasant ambiance, Xerta…read moreis only for show. My table and I all experienced the Delta menu. This menu is a tasting menu consisting of 6 different presentations of small dishes, most with a seafood theme. First plate, the chef's appetizers were not a bad start. The artfully crafted bite sized pieces were interesting in flavor and each was very different from the another. The second plate, 3 different presentations of fish on wonton type crackers. By far my favorite plate of the entire experience. The three types of tuna each had their own flavor profiles. The third plate, had a pretty flat flavor. It was like a mushroom creme with various mushrooms that only added texture and not flavor. The fourth plate, turbot with vegetables. It was a really fatty fish with an odd crust. I couldn't really tell you what the crust was, but it almost had a burnt taste to it and despite having this crust it was still pretty flavorless. I could only taste the oil of the fish. The fifth plate, red prawn black rice was a huge let down. The presentation was beautiful, but the entire dish was completely devoid of flavor. I don't think I've ever tasted something so bland. The squid was also no where to be found in the dish. This was a hard pass for me. The 6th dish was a beautiful presentation of a life like clementine with a soft mousse and popping pearls in the center. Lastly, three small sweets (coconut white chocolate with a pineapple filling, chocolate truffle with a fruit jam, and sweet potato ball with nuts). I'm not sure if this is apart of the official tasting menu, but it was served at the end of the lunch service. The staff were so incredibly nice, but service was slow and beverages were not refilled adequately. Additionally, the server spoke a poor level of English and was unable to communicate the various dishes in a way that I could understand. They did have English menus upon request, but I think part of the experience is the verbal explanation of what you're being served. Overall, I did not enjoy this tasting menu. Another important note is that everything was either cold or room temperature at best. Some dishes were meant to be cold, but I didn't think the turbot, rice, and mushroom demi-glaze cream thing, being served cold/room temperature was very nice. Most flavors fell short of the expectations and the hype around a Michelin reputation.

The sardines dish was pretty unique, almost like sushi with caviar on top. The octopus with sweet potato mash was a unique mix of flavor and grilled to perfection. Patatas bravas here were quite different, it was more like French fries with fingerling potatoes and the sauce is a tad spicier than what you would find in a regular Spanish restaurant. A great choice for this area, although the service is less attentive than in the more touristy areas and the tapas are a bit on the pricey side.

We hadn't had cava sangria so we tried it and it was pretty good. Essentially a sparkling white sangria with oranges, lemon, and apple slices. It was nice and refreshing and a great accoutrement to dinner. Their spinach and goat cheese croquettes were delicious. Light, crispy panko breading and a hot, cheesy, spinachy interior. Their patatas bravas were different from most of the ones we've had as they had more of a kick to them than usual and a garlicky aioli-a welcome surprise IMO. One of the chicken fingers seemed undercooked but overall they were crisp, hot and served with a yummy curry aioli. The grilled vegetables were your standard aubergine (eggplant), tomato, asparagus, onion, carrots and romesco sauce, but certainly grilled to perfection. All in all a nice experience with good tapas. Lots of space to dine and is actually a lot bigger inside then you'd expect. I'd come back again.

The baby calamari wasn't too fried, so you could actually taste the squid itself. The paella was out of this world, too. I also never knew how much I loved cold soup until I had their gazpacho. Everything was impressive, for such a central area, and things came out so quickly too, so after walking a ton all day, this is quite appreciated. Definitely worth coming by for a great sit-down meal.
