2.5/10Unfortunately, our dinner at this restaurant was disappointing, both in terms of food and service. It’s clear that this place is geared toward tourists. The salmon and tuna tartares were inedible, overwhelmed with vinegar. The octopus slightly improved the situation, and the fish baked in salt was generally edible. At the end, we ordered pistachio and vanilla ice cream, but they brought us chocolate and vanilla instead. They claimed the pistachio was mixed with chocolate, which seemed quite strange.

8/10Premise: I live here and been to this restaurants many times over the years. This last experience was ok but not up to expectations for many reasons. Waiters talking loudly to each other, one calling the other maricón jokingly. The food was not as good as other times and definitely not for that price range. Finally, the waiter brings the bill and stresses that tips are not included.

10/10The beachfront location was perfect for eating seafood. The squid ink paella, sautéed clams, and octopus from Garcia were all delicious. There was a Japanese menu for Japanese customers, and the staff were friendly.

This is our first dinner at BCN with my family, we are a group from Hongkong. The sea view is very beautiful and the foods are great. We will come again and recommend to friends.

5/10The ambience was nice with a beautiful view of the sea. Our waiter was terrible and pushy. He threw the bill on the table and asked us for a tip. He said he was in hurry to leave for the night and reminded us twice “the bill didn’t include his tip”. His service was not worthy of a tip, but we gave him a tip anyway since he seemed desperate. As soon as we set our amount on the table, he came over and grabbed it. We were still sitting at the table. There was hardly anyone at the restaurant. I understand why. The food was average.

8/10Restaurant has lovely view and service - the paella for Group of 6 was average - nothing special - and we came the this place for paella . We had a nice night but food was ok. My son and his friends did not rave about it .

6/10Reasonable food but clearly focussed on tourists. Price quality is far out of proportion, very overpriced. Service is passive and ambiance inside, upstairs is canteen like. Not going here again

9/10Wonderful location with wonderful views. The service was both gracious and attentive. The food was very good – particularly the fresh anchovies and the galacian clams. My only quibbles was the Dover sole was so slightly over done and the prices can only be justified by the view.

10/10All the dishes we ordered were absolutely delicious. Especially the squid ink paella and the mussels, the best I've ever tasted in my life! The service was attentive and friendly. I will come back to Barcelona just to visit this restaurant.

8.5/10Great location located in the Olympic Port of Barcelona. Possibility to sit on terrace or inside, with a fantastic sea view. Food is good, with original receipts. Good also the service. Price quite above the average, but they propose several fixed menu options that make it absolutely affordable and even cheaper than other restaurants.

6.5/10
Majority of staff are cool and it's hard to get their services, they won't come to us and ask and we are hard to get their attention. Frankly, apart from the atmosphere, vs price charged, food and service has room to be improved

2.5/10We booked a table for business occasion due to its decent view and reputation for one of the best Paella in town. Unfortunately, it was the worst meal and experience we had in Spain. Food was really bad (not fresh or dried iberico ham/ disgusting tomato and vegetable salad/ overlooked grilled lobster/ Paella was bland) Service staff was very unprofessional, never offered us menu unless we requested for it. They were serving dessert while all of us were still in the middle of main course. Such humiliating experience even my clients were asking what’s going on. Spent hundreds of euros for such disappointment. Sorry to say but this is a tourist trap, please avoid at all costs!!
