Service was great, nice atmosphere but the seafood platter was very disappointing. The lobster was small and overcooked. We onky had one small scallop between 2 and the mussels were tiny. Prawns were tasty though. For €120 I expected a lot better.

The two gentlemen who attended to me, Leo and Philip were just as helpful as one could hope for when dining alone. They gave great recommendations! Would recommend to anyone who wants great food and even better service!

Excellent seafood place. Enjoyed the breaded shrimp starter and main seafood rice. Not cheap but not too bad and really enjoyed what we had and worth it, Lovely and efficient waiter. Definitely recommended.

During my recent trip to Barcelona, I had the pleasure of dining at Monte Marinero, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Tucked away in the charming Barceloneta neighborhood, this restaurant offers an authentic seafood experience that is hard to beat. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming ambiance and the friendly staff made us feel right at home. The highlights of the meal were undoubtedly the sea food Mix which was deliciously filled with a blend of flavors. The grilled fish was incredibly fresh, showcasing the quality of the ingredients they use. What I appreciated most was the menu, filled with a variety of seafood options, catered to both locals and tourists alike, making it a vibrant place to dine. If you’re in Barcelona and a fan of seafood, Monte Marinero is an absolute must-visit! I can’t wait to return on my next visit to this beautiful city.

Only in Barcelona 24 hours while traveling, found this restaurant via a Google Maps search. 1.3 mile walk from the hotel, was worth every step. Great food and service, had a wonderful dinner.

Should have picked the other shellfish restaurant around the corner. Warm soupy crab isn't a concept that really works. No locals in evidence for a reason

Unexpectedly, we made the reservation during our stay in Barcelona. You would not imagine where to find the restaurant but when you are inside, the place and team is friendly. And on top of that, the food is delicious and well served. It has been the highlight of our stay. Gracias

Fantastic Spot. Diego and Leo really looked after us and the food was scrumptious. My mum ate every grain of rice and I scooped up every bit of the seafood boil gravy. We will definitely be back!

Large portions, unique spices, the best seafood we have ever eaten in our lives. The restaurant is new but it doesn't show it because the cuisine and service are at a very high level in terms of professionalism and attention to detail. We felt very comfortable and plan to visit it again during our stay in Barcelona. I advise you not to miss visiting Monte Marinero. I wish this restaurant to blow away the competition and expand to leave more and more people satisfied and happy.

Food can be improved especially seafood were not as fresh as we expected. In addition, the restaurant was far too warm, seems like AC didn’t work!

Funky place with great staff and simple small place with great food. Suggest one of the mid range seafood platters (King crab great but not worth the extra cost)
