The 9 Best Paella In Barcelona - Barcelona - The Infatuation

"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." - isabelle kliger

Casa Amàlia sets the tone before you even walk through the door. Warm, confident, and clearly focused on quality. The staff are genuinely welcoming, and the menu shows exactly what Spanish cuisine can be when it’s done properly. Start with “Popeye,” their spinach ball. It’s magic. So good it almost made me question my love for meat. The other croquettes are excellent too, each with that extra touch that lifts them above the ordinary. The paella is outstanding and nothing like the tourist versions you see everywhere. Thin, crisp edges, deep flavor, and cooked with real respect for the dish. A proper flavor bomb. Dessert seals the deal. The torrija is exceptional, Spanish-style French toast at its best. Add the chocolate and coconut crumble with lavender and saffron ice cream, and you’re in serious territory. Bold flavors, well balanced, and confidently executed. If you love food, this is a place you should go. Honest cooking, full of soul, and a world away from the tourist traps of Barcelona.

Really nice restaurant with friendly service. I’d recommend making a reservation. We tried the meat and the spinach croquettes, both were good, but surprisingly I liked the spinach even more. For the main dishes, we had the ribs and the seafood paella. The meat was perfectly cooked, and the paella was excellent as well. For dessert, we had the torrija, which definitely didn’t disappoint.

We stumbled across this restaurant on the way to Casa Batlló and are so pleased we did! The food was amazing, especially the cannelloni and the service was great, our waiter was Felipe and he was super informative and gave us extra information regarding the fish of the day which was Dentex. Wine, food, service and vibes all 5 star from us!

Just had dinner here tonight. The food was superb. Everything we ordered tasted great but the standout dish for us has got to be the dessert we ordered. The texture of the flan was unbelievably smooth. Probably the best flan we’ve had in our lives! Special mention to Flor who took great care of us. Very efficient and friendly service.

The place was very lovely. It was my birthday and they were kind enough to give us chocolate truffles. Thank you to my lovely friends for picking a delicious restaurant. I will say this is more of a date night ambient than birthday lol but the food was delicious!! Sweet waitress too. Mil gracias Florrr!!

Casa Amàlia was one of the best experiences in Barcelona from start to finish. We didn't have reservation, but were lucky to find a seat. The place is nearly almost full, so my advice to book in advance. We were seated on the second floor. Staff was lovely and attentive. We tried different balls (spinach, with kimchi) and Paella (the portion is generous so we took 2 portions for 3 people). The sweet touch was cheesecake at the and. Definitely very vibrant vibe and Spanish touch to dishes.

A Culinary Gem in Barcelona! Casa Amalia is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and an ambiance that made us feel right at home. The food is an absolute revelation—each dish is crafted with care, showcasing the best of local produce and a menu that beautifully evolves with the seasons. Every bite was a celebration of flavor and creativity. What truly sets Casa Amalia apart is the exceptional service. Marina, the hostess, went above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect. Both times we visited, we initially had outdoor seating, but thanks to Marina’s dedication and a quick chat on WhatsApp, we were seamlessly moved to cozy indoor tables. The attention to detail was remarkable—the waiter even remembered us from our first visit! This was, without a doubt, the best culinary experience we had in Barcelona. If you’re visiting the city, skipping Casa Amalia would be a terrible miss. We’ll absolutely be back on our next trip—100% recommend!

Everything was great. Ona and Alex were super nice and made us feel really welcome. The rice was delicious and the desserts were 10/10 - especially the cheesecake and the flan, both amazing. Would 100% come back.
