"Casa Amàlia has been around since the 1950s and is all about local community and traceability. Their digital menu shows you where their ingredients come from, down to the specific stall in La Concepció market next door. We love the Thorpedo mini sandwich, a pork rib, peanut sauce, and red onion explosion stuffed in Andalusian mollete flatbread, but the real bomb here is the rice. It’s made from Molino Roca’s short-grained Valencian Dinamita rice, which has a hollow center that allows for more absorption of flavor. If you’re like us, you might catch yourself fantasizing about the deep, earthy aromas of their Onyar-Merlès rice with duck magret, foie, and figs days later. Book a table on the terrace in the pedestrianized cobbled street that’s chic and romantic, like being on set for Emily in Barcelona. photo credit: Sara Larsson photo credit: Sara Larsson photo credit: Sara Larsson photo credit: Sara Larsson" - Isabelle Kliger

The service was exceptional. The food was exquisite. You have to order the appetizer named Popeye Every dish is amazing and like nothing you’ve ever tasted before. The cocktails are unique and delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful. If you are living in Barcelona or visiting Barcelona, you need to eat at Casa Amalia.

All in all it was good. Maybe im not the best judge of Paella, but we had the vegetable Paella and it was some what average compared to other places that I’ve been. But all in all it was great! ☺️ it could be been my choice in flavour that was off. The coolest part is there is no additional 10% for sitting outside on the terrace ☺️😍

A nice restaurant serving local cuisine. They have many options for sharing and everything is very fresh and prepared nicely. They also have a nice wine list with local Catalunya wines. The environment is nice. A perfect place for a date or a night out with friends and family. Please don’t forget to try the cheesecake, it’s delicious!

Tried our first Catalan paella. Red prawns were very delicious. Loved the cinnamon-infused Sangria also, best I have tried in Barcelona so far. Leo was very considerate, arranging the serving order of our starters so we could taste each one at their freshest and hottest.

wonderful service, even better food. the atmosphere was great, we decided to sit outside. the coconut mussels are a must, such a good portion for 2-3 people and dip the leftover sauce with bread. the crispy pork was SO good we devoured it. our waiter Josep was welcoming and thoughtful. the restaurant is located in a wonderful neighborhood, definitely come if you’re in Barcelona.

Great experience from start to finish! We were lucky to walk up and get one of their last available tables and we were so glad we did! The food and service was impeccable from start to finish. The highlight was definitely the mussels, but the duck paella and canneloni was amazing too. Will absolutely be back next time we are in Barcelona, two very happy Australians!

Ambiguous experience. We had the sourdough bread and the spinach croquettes for a starter - the latter was very delicious. With the starter we were also served a welcome gazpacho shot which was nice. Nonetheless the main reason we came for the restaurant was the paella, which in itself was not bad, but also not overwhelmingly tasty. The price on the menu is somewhat misleading, maybe for locals it is clear that the price is per person, but for us it wasn’t. If it’s not stated clearly on the menu, I think that at least the waiter should clarify that the price for the paella dish will be doubled for two people. It is less about the price at the end and more about clarity and transparency in respect to the expectations of the costumers. And it’s a shame because the restaurant has a magical atmosphere and overall good quality dishes.

The restaurant is very cozy, very clean. Staff and manager lady are super friendly and helpful. Food is top notch, amazing paella! Anyone who visits Barcelona and want to have a nice meal in the local way is in very good hands here. We dont mind paying more for a good experience but even the prices were very approachable Much recommended. We already visited twice, definitely going back.
