Casa Amàlia

This is not the type of restaurant that needs to get their waiters to beg the customers for 5-star reviews. Amazing experience from start to finish. The vibe is relaxed and authentic, with a cool, laid-back waiter who knows his menu and doesn’t try to upsell you. The wine list is solid, offering quality options at fair prices. The food? Outstanding. The mussels came bathed in a rich, flavorful sauce that you can’t stop dipping bread into. The appetizer trio was a perfect start – a crispy croquette topped with creamy mayo, melt-in-your-mouth jamón, and a savory fritter. The grilled octopus was beautifully tender and paired with a roasted vegetable side that balanced it perfectly. And the steak? Cooked just right – juicy, flavorful, and served with earthy mushrooms. It’s a place that hits all the right notes: great food, warm service, and a sense that they care more about your experience than your bill. Definitely worth coming back to.

Our experience here was excellent. A friend accidentally booked our reservation for 6 for the next night but the hostess had us seated anyway within 10 minutes on an obviously busy night. Our waitress was very patient while we asked questions and figured out how many plates to order, and our food was DELICIOUS. Every dish was better than the last. We all especially loved the mussels and the sauce they came in. We were thrilled to end our trip to Barcelona on such a perfect dining experience!

We waited 45 minutes for a late lunch around 3pm on Sunday, it was well worth the wait. The Torrezno was the best roast pork we had in Spain. The Charlie is a mussels dish, the sauce was so flavourful!. The best dish was the Catavents, the rice was perfectly prepared and packed with seafood flavour. We tried both the breads, one with olive oil and pan con tomato, very calorie worthy. Daniela was our server. She was very friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. The service was impeccable. The only thing we wished for was a table outside, it would have been a better experience on this sunny day. We highly recommend making a reservation when you are in Barcelona.

It was our best meal in Barcelona and we had fantastic service from Bryan And his team. We enjoyed the Wagyu paella, baked Cannolis And the most amazing cheesecake to end! Honestly, we couldn’t have Had a better set up. Definitely want to come back to this place in the future!

We stopped by for dinner without a reservation (it was not planned, we just searched for a highly rated place near our area), they didn’t have an available table, but they went above and beyond for us! They made a new setting for us, and our server Mireia was very friendly and nice. The food was excellent. Everything tasted really good and was prepared really well. The mocktails we had were refreshing and had amazing flavor. The croquettes were among the best we’ve had in our stay in Barcelona, the canelones were super creamy and well-balanced, and the octopus was just perfect! Of course the paella was top notch. The steak was perfectly and rice was really nice. The flan was the highlight of the meal for me as it was light and very smooth and creamy!

Visited last night for dinner and it was a great experience! Our server Leo was very helpful and made some great recommendations. He also shared Info about the inspiration for the dishes. Everything we had was delicious! I have a shellfish allergy so it was great to be able to try paella even if not the traditional version. The pork belly starter was amazing! The menu also shows all the various allergens in each dish. That was super helpful

We had a lovely late lunch at Casa Amalia. Felipe was an excellent waiter! He paired our food and wine perfectly! And his recommendation for dessert was to die for! We loved the food, the atmosphere and it was overall a fantastic experience! Highly recommend it!

Our server was Franco and he did amazing! The time we went at was very busy (1530 on a Monday) so expect a bit of a wait but the food was so worth it. The steak was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had! Cooked and seasoned perfectly! My group also really enjoyed the coconut curry mussels, sourdough bread, both types of croquettes, mountain paella and octopus! All very good! Definitely will come back here when in Barcelona! Also highly recommend the cheesecake if you are getting dessert! Absolutely hands down top 2 cheesecakes I’ve ever had in my life. Thank you Casa Amàlia for the excellent service and food! You made a forever customer out of me! P.S. sorry for not having more photos! My group was so hungry that we forgot to take photos of our food! We will do better next time!
