9/10My husband and I loved the restaurant. The "Pica-Pica" appetizer was delicious. it was highly recommended for 2 people to enjoy it before your main dishes. The services were fantastic and we both felt welcome.

7/10Had heard so much about this restaurant’s paella, but found it to be far too salty and overcooked. Having had paella is many places around the world, I’d look elsewhere for your paella experience in Barcelona, unless the beachfront atmosphere and good service is enough for you.

9/10very friendly and positive team: first line table provided, dishes recommended. although the food was not in a format we used to (grilled plate should be only grilled), we still enjoyed sangria and the dishes. lobster was especially great!

5/10The paella was just okay. We ordered it for three, and it came with only two prawns and 5 mussels. That is just cheap! Not a lot of meat or seafood in this Surf-n-Turf. SALTY. Dessert good though!

9/10Restaurant was right on the beach. Great ambiance. Paella was not the best I have had but it was solid. The desserts and Cava sangria on point!

3.5/10I'm visiting this place at least twice a year for the last 7 years, and the last visit was probably the last one. Food was good, but nothing special, but the level of service was totally unacceptable. The host talking by the phone with someone taking the reservation, and we are waiting 3 minutes. No one was eager to take the order from.us, although they had plenty of time to reset tables with more than 50% tables empty. They forgot about second dishes. Zero smile and almost none hospitality. It was quite cold and windy outside, so the temperature inside was also low, and no blankets were provided, so kids had to seat with the jackets on. It was a really bad experience, and it wasn't worth at all it's price.

9.5/10Fantastic first meal in Barcelona! Loved our paella and our starter, fried octopus ceviche was unexpectedly incredible! Had a great and very reasonable bottle of wine which was recommended by our waiter which was perfect. Would go back if we had more time. Clearly a popular place as they would not take walk ins and were full with reservations.

4.5/10Paella was terribile, too salty and too cooked. Dry and almost bruised,. The place had no atmosphere at all. A trap for tourists.

10/10The experience was nice and the food was amazing. The fresh seafood and fideua was a plate so nice and also the lemon and rosemary cake. Try it and it will be hard to forget them. Thanks to the Italian girl for helping us about the choise.

7.5/10Atmosphere and waiters were really nice. The paella was ok, expected more for the price. A lot of rice, not much seafood in it. Taste was all right, had better ones before.

7/10We had read the reviews and we really wanted to enjoy the paella but we were expecting fluffy rice with plenty of seafood. The rice was watered down as if maybe it wasn’t cooked or it was waterlogged, and there wasn’t a lot of seafood for the size of the dish, particularly shrimp. The calamari was good, the wine was good, the anchovies were good. We wanted to be honest for the sake of the restaurant and others. The atmosphere on the beach is great. Thanks for listening.

9.5/10The best Xiringuito in Barcelona. Very friendly staff, many have worked here for years as well as the chefs Their Paellas are among the best in BCN and you can order a Paella for one person but it sure is enough for two. Highly recommended.

9.5/10Staff were amazing, ambience was lovely (once a huge group of kids had left), food was very good and fresh - though the paella was not as good as I had hoped. Not touristy, really calm, warm environment - would definitely come again.

8.5/10The place came highly recommended by our food tour guide so we decided to give it a try. Their appetizers were great, especially the grilled mussels. But the seafood paella was a bit of a let down. It has great presentation and our server did a great job but I thought the paella had one noted taste, that of salty seafood brine. It lacked the complexity of saffron and spices. Maybe I was expecting too much? I would still recommend it for their appetizers and the ambience. Note of advice: if you want to appreciate the ocean scenery, make your reservations for lunch or early dinner; otherwise, you’d be staring into the dark ocean. I enjoyed the overall experience, nonetheless.

9.5/10Great little restaurant on the beach. We had the lobster paella, if I were to go back I'd probably pick a different paella if I were looking for more seafood in the dish.

9.5/10Great setting and fresh interesting menu. All of our dishes were great. Opted for Calamari, oysters , sea bass and paella. The suggested wine was also a great choice. Got a bit chilly so dress warm for the winter months but would come back in a flash

8.5/10An awesome lunch in Spain, with a great Paella and a good glass of wine. The price of the Paella is a little bit higher, but it’s a must if you’re near the Barceloneta.

8.5/10The food was good and the quantity was correct. Price a bit high, but I understand it's for location and longevity. We would not recommend the octopus, is the packaged one and not fresh bolied from their side.
