The 35 Best Restaurants in Barcelona

"Back in the day (way back—the restaurant opened in the 19th century), this El Raval restaurant was a favorite hangout for Barcelona’s artistic community, and the old-school bohemian decor has been well preserved: bad lighting, white tablecloths on dark wood, and walls adorned with old portraits and mosaics. The food is honest and delicious—top dishes include the cod fritters and meatballs with cuttlefish and prawns, made all the more delectable with a cheap beer pairing—and highly prized by locals, so come early in the day." - Isabelle Kliger, Gemma Askham

We enjoyed dinner here 2 days ago. I was a little hesitant to visit at first because I saw mixed reviews on google but everything went so well - food and service! Food was served in generous portion and very tasty. Service was impeccable - they were so happy to share and assist, very friendly and attentive even though some of them may speak limited English (but not difficult to understand them, don’t worry). They knew we were sharing so they even individually plated our dishes. Fantastic! I would encourage everyone to head here and try traditional Catalan food!

Food and dessert are exceptionally tasty. Love their authentic vibe and aesthetic. A bit expensive but I couldn't find similar flavour throughout the rest of my trip, so I guess it’s worthy for its uniqueness. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, though a bit traditional and instructive. When ordered drinks at start and coffee at end, staff collected menu and turned away immediately after my husband spoke. Had to raise my volume and asked if I could order my drink. Not sure if this is an isolated case, a cultural thing or just an overly busy day. I hope they will ask everyone on the table in the future.

After many tapas restaurants in Barcelona, this was the most unique and flavorful meal I had. The ingredients are adventurous but every dish was delicious. The service felt upscale yet casual.

Best paella and calamari I have ever had in my life. HANDS DOWN! The batter on the calamari was so light I was so blown away from the freshness. The paella was just so flavorful and delightful. No other paella has been able to top it… This was recommended to me by someone who is from Barcelona. SUPER happy we went. All the staff were so wonderful and treated us very well! I absolutely loved this place.

We tried to walk in to this restaurant one night but it was fully booked. And we made a reservation and came back a couple days later and it was so worth it! We had quite some very delicious and special Catalonian dishes. Our waiter was super friendly he recommended us the special pastry with the sweet wine along with a bit history of it. Love this place will definitely come back next time in Barcelona!

We headed to this spot for a company dinner, and it lived up to our expectations. We were hoping for a typical Barcelona/Catalan vibe, and we got just that. The food was great, with the cod in coffee sauce being a good choice, albeit a bit unusual. Surprisingly, I even tried some calamari, despite not usually being a fan, because it had a unique twist to it. The cod balls were also a hit. The place was cozy, on the smaller side, and a bit tucked away, adding to its charm. The service was attentive and had a solid grasp of English, which made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a great find for a tasty meal with a touch of Barcelona flair.

Recommended by local friends, good for traditional catalan cuisine Recommended: duck confit (soft and juicy), shrimp (super fresh and umami) Snails: earthy and taste really special, not too recommended if you are not a fans of snail

Amazing food! Ordered the snails, duck, and lamb and loved all of it but the snails were my favorite! The meat on the duck just fell off the bone and was the softest I've ever tasted and the french fries that came with the lamb were amazing too, we could not stop eating it even though we were super full. Would come again!

Okay. Very slow, inattentive service. Best things on the menu were the duck and sole. Pork chops were very thin and overcooked. Cannelloni was okay. We asked the waiter to call a cab for us, given the taxi that dropped us off stated that it was not a great area to be walking around in after dinner and suggested asking the restaurant to do it. He said he would not...that it would take too long. He also forgot to apply the 80Euros deposit toward our dinner price that we paid to secure the reservation...isn't that a requirement for everyone making a reservation here?

This was a last minute decision to dine here. I found this restaurant off of TripAdvisor and it was one of the few places open at 10 pm that also allowed reservations. Upon arriving to this restaurant, we were unsure if we were in the correct location since it was in a sketchy looking neighborhood. The inside of the restaurant is very modern and classy. We were surprised to learn that the prices were reasonable. The most expensive dish was the beef tenderloin for 22 euro. All the dishes were delicious. We ordered seafood paella, spinach, snails, and my beef tenderloin. Try also do half portions for certain dishes so be sure to ask if you're not super hungry. The house wine is a must here. We got two whites that went down very smooth. It was also very cheap! The first bottle was 11 euro and the second which tasted even better was 16 euro. Water is 50 cl. And runs 1.50 euro. For dessert we all chose the nougat ice cream glazed with some rum. Our waiter was amazingly enternating with a great personality. A bonus was the fact that he spoke decent English. He also looked like Alec Baldwin.

Updated as we ate here again. Everything was lovely but I wanted to share that you can make reservations through their website! Wonderful if you are traveling abroad and don't have a local phone.

Not impressed. Food tasted like reheated leftovers. Bread looked sub-par; we said we didn't want it, but were charged for it anyway. Location is on the edge of a sketchy-looking neighborhood. Waitstaff looked disinterested.

Ate there Nov 2014. Nice decor, fine service. Calamari and Catalan spinach appetizers were unimpressive. Calf-cheek and oxtail entrees were quite good, but all you get is the meat and one small potato, nothing else. Black chocolate truffles for dessert were delicious. With a glass of wine apiece, meal for two came to E67. A little pricey for the experience we got.
