Food arrived relatively fast, which was good. However, one has the feeling that every meal was already prepared.

Didn’t realize we have to wait pretty long for the paellas, about an hour since ordered for two paellas. Assuming they need time to cook. Then, finally they came. Less seafood than I expected. The rice was little raw. They could be cooked just a little longer, but ok because we waited long. Nevertheless, they were tasty but got cold really quick. Maybe we should order something else and one paella. At least we have food eating first instead of waiting and paella got cold quick :)

Whenever I visit Barcelona with first time visitors going to Xiringuito Escriba is a must! I’ve tried several paellas, pan con tomat, bravas, and sangria and all have always been excellent!

Great service! We shared a cerviche for starters with bread then the monkfish dish. The cerviche was fresh and the monkfish well cooked, flavoursome and the wines were nice too.

Food is great here, we’ve been lots of times. Love the fedua in particular. They are huge though so I’d suggest ordering one portion for one person and some grilled fish and sharing both between two - more than enough! (And I eat a lot!) service was really hit and miss, some friendly staff members, others (including the woman who welcomed us at the door) quite cold with guests which does impact the experience

This restaurant overlooks the beach. Service was attentive and they spoke English. The food was average and the place was busy with tourists, not locals.

Paella was good but very little seafood, mostly shells from muscles but very little lobster and no shrimp. Only generous with rice.

The waitstaff was courteous and treated us well, and we spent our last day in a pleasant mood. I was very satisfied with the delicious food for the price. The only thing that bothered me was that I pronounced the word "dessert" and they reworded it as "desert".

I visited to eat black rice. It was so nice. I also ate Shibuya rice which was recommended. Eat it wrapped in seaweed was first experience for me. I really enjoyed eating. The sake which made in Barcelona that came with Shibuya rice was also delicious.

Really an excellent lunch. I went with my wife, who had a delicious lobster paella. My fish fillet was delightful. The restaurant is on the beach and is very nice inside. The waiter was kind and spoke Italian perfectly.

We ate very well, assisted and taken care of by Ciccio who, despite the paella being a little late, assisted us with sympathy and kindness. We had a really good time

Nice and welcoming service. Great paella from the open kitchen. But also the burger was decent for the non-fish lover in our party

The food was good although the paella was burnt at the sides of the pan, so it tasted a bit bitter. We were seated next to the open kitchen and there was also a heater above our table so it was extremely hot at our table. However, when we asked the staff to shut off the heater, they kindly did so, and it was appreciated.
