Casa Maians

The 9 Best Paella In Barcelona - Barcelona - The Infatuation

"Locals come to this Barceloneta restaurant for the freshly caught seafood—and to eat intensely rich rice overflowing with pork shoulder, mushrooms, and peppers, or covered in black squid ink. Like most classic spots, rice at Casa Maians is meant to be shared by a large group. The portions are quite substantial, so the trick is to order one dish fewer than the number of diners. If you’re just two, take a deep breath and remember there’s no such thing as “too full.” Casa Maians feels like going to a friend’s place for a quick bite and a chat: the entire show is run by two owners who seem to know most of their guests personally. Just a heads up—they’re only open Wednesday to Sunday for lunch." - isabelle kliger
