Despite being someone who dines out regularly I tend not to leave a review unless I have something good to say but feel compelled to write, after a special lunch to celebrate my partner’s 59th birthday turned into a total disappointment. For a fairly high-priced restaurant I found both of our dishes (turbot and monkfish), together with one of the starters, to be really poorly cooked. This actually could possibly have been overlooked given the good location and pleasant interior, however, what destroyed the occasion completely was a child of about 7 years-old at the next table, playing a very loud computer game and shouting at his phone for the entire duration of our meal, while his family chatted amongst themselves. When mentioned to the head-waiter, we were offered complimentary coffees by way of recompense but by this time just wanted to pay the bill and leave. A thoroughly disappointing experience.

Professional and warm service and extraordinary ingredients in a cozy place. Difficult to find a better arroceria in BCN. Paella marinera was great and flavorful with all required seafood, paired with an elegant Gramona Imperial cava. Unbelievable. Btw, mussels as an entry were fresh and light…

Great family dinner. I was pleased inviting my family there for the best paella ever, and the best octopus-trompette mushroom dishes. Sangria is great as well! I was there 2 years ago for a business trip and couldn't wait coming back!

A fantastic meal both times, we went back a second time because the food and service was excellent. The squid with mushrooms was unbelievable. The paella with seafood was just so good! We had Cava Sangria both times, highly recommended. The meal was one of the best I have ever had. We spent two hours there each time, never rushed, treated like valued guests. My highest recommendation!

Location very near Barceloneta metro station. Cozy place with a fade light that gives an ancient space look. Tidy and clean. Sea food is delicious and very well cooked. Tasty and not oily at all. This is a plus! Paella with seafood is so good and delicious, the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot is something unpredictable! Yummy! All was paired with Addaia white wine, top wine! To close the dinner a squeezed lemon sorbet that I’ve never had before, it was so fresh and delicious. A mouth reset! Thank you ! The only negative note the AC too annoying, it was too cold!

The back paella was excellent! The prices are high, but the portions generous. The cavar is house made and the best you have ever taste! Would come back!

Excellent food. I would highly recommend it. However I was a little concerned because one of the staff was walking around and serving tables whilst having a terrible cough.

We felt unwelcomed even though we had a reservation. Horrible food, service was even more horrible. They were borderline racist and rude. The food was not even seasoned with salt. This restaurant shouldn't be on the fork as the food was smelling old and will surely turn into a lawsuit as this can cause health problems. Urging The fork to look into this. To the chef and restaurant staff- please don't waste sea food in this manner, cook it well enough so the patrons can eat it. Season it, ensure its fresh and treat your patrons with respect. Will advice all my friends to not visit. Really hoping the fork looks into this and takes them out of their listing. This is NOT a fine dining restaurant

The staff we disinterested and cold as the weather outside... we felt like we were interrupting them. Then half way through our dinner the kitchen staff started watching TV with the volume up. We wished we could have left. The paella was okay ... a long way from the reviews we had read. The dessert was disgraceful ... it barely compared to frozen, microwave desserts. The dinner was the most expensive dinner we have had in Barcelona and the worst. Do not bother going. This place is trading on an undeserved reputation.

It was our first dinner in town. The food was excellent. We ordered baby squid with mushrooms, oxtail stew, and Paella Negra. We loved it. The service was good as well.

It was really nice to find a quiet restaurant with excellent food and service after a weeks stay in Barcelona. Other restaurants were good but this is one to go back to again on another visit.

We came here especially to enjoy delicious paella with the famous crust. We were incredibly disappointed because instead, the paella was hastily prepared for tourists with zero crust and little flavor. It was extremely overpriced and the staff was rude. We would advise anyone looking to enjoy paella to go elsewhere.
