Casa Amàlia Port Vell

Casa Amalia Port Vell is a stylish Mediterranean restaurant located by Barcelona’s waterfront, known for its fresh seafood and modern take on traditional Spanish dishes. Its location near the harbor makes it a great spot for a relaxed but memorable meal. I had dinner here with my cousin, and the food was absolutely top-tier. Everything we tried – from the paella to the fish and even the bread – was incredibly delicious. Every dish felt well-prepared and full of flavor. The staff were also friendly and attentive, which made the whole dining experience even better.

restaurant is located inside a department store near the sea. The menu is available digitally offering a good selection of starters, various kinds of paella, and main dishes to choose from. The food quality is good, and the service is professional. It's a good option while you're staying in Barcelona

Located on the last floor of Maremagnum, Port de Barcelona Casa Amalia has a wonderful outdoor and indoor seating area. ✨ The outdoor terrace is amazingly beautiful and overlooks the sea. The outdoor terrace is a bit chilly in the evening, so remember to bring something warm with you. The photos come out fantastic. ✨ The service is wonderful, the staff is super friendly and helpful. They help you choose and recommend what goes with what better. ✨ The menu is digital and you can see all the necessary information about the dish once you click on it. ✨ Trying the seafood is a must. The mussels with tamarind sauce has become one of my favourite mussels I have tried so far (and I have tried a lot, as I love them). Tamarind's uniquely tangy-sweet taste enlivened the beautifully prepared mussels and gave it a special aroma and enriched it. The waiter suggested sourdough bread with olive oil to go with it, and dipping the bread in the sauce was a different level of deliciousness. The crusty and oily sourdough dipped in Tamarind Sauce created a sweet-sour-spicy-rich flavored bread, or I would say created another appetizer. The mussels were super fresh, with their texture soft and velvety with a delicate, sweet, and briny flavor. Tamarind sauce once more stressed the versatile flavour of the mussels, ideally pairing with it. ✨ Paella's popularity in Spain is not just about flavor; it's a convergence of historical origin, local ingredients, social practice and symbolic significance that makes it both a beloved everyday dish in some regions and a national culinary emblem. The Paella at Amalia is one of the best in town and you should definitely go for it, because it takes a different level at Amalia. You have a great choice of Paella with various ingredients and we went for the one with calamari. The rice was rich and tasty and the calamari was beautifully prepared, mild, slightly sweet, with a nutty flavor and a tender but slightly chewy texture the calamari was crunchy and added an additional texture. The rice was perfectly prepared "al dente" soft and moist on the outside but firm and chewy in the center. We took two portions and it was absolutely enough for three people. ✨ Last but not least the desserts - my kid went for gelato (they have an excellent choice of gelato flavours) and it was just a beautiful ending to the wonderful evening. Richer and silkier in texture than ice cream, the gelato was pure bliss. ✨ They have an excellent choice of wine (red, white, sparkling) and you can either buy them by the glass or in bottles, whichever is more convenient for you. They also have sangria, and if you have not tasted it during your stay, definitely go for it. Casa Amalia is a place you will return to, because it has not only outstanding service, but great food and ambience as well. So, if you ever happen to be in Barcelona, do not miss a chance to visit them.

What a treat this place is!!! We had an amazing experience here. Great ambience, good food and best of service. That’s Casa Amalia. The highlight was the beef we had - juicy, tender and just melts in your mouth. The paella good but needs little work. Though had gluten free basque cheese cake which was wonderful too. The allergies accommodation and kids menu was a bonus.

Beautiful experience. Came with bestfriends parents and my mother. Wonderful staff and amazing food. The views were beautiful. Thank you Paulina, Zuley and Margarita for exceptional customer service.

We booked a tasting menu for a Monday evening in October that focussed on Catalan food with paired wines. Generous portions and fine local wine. Good value for 70€.

Really nice food! We loved the tatar and the paella. Great clams as well and a beautiful view outside. The waitress was very nice. She brought us blankets for outside and helped us getting some heaters. Unfortunately we forgot her name, but she had a nose piercing. Thank you so much for the great service!

We had a really good lunch here recently, we went with a friend who had dined here before. It's a very nice space with a good-sized outdoor area on the water, the service was super friendly and efficient and the food was super tasty. Just can't give it a 5 because although we enjoyed the food, it wasn't quite 5-star for us. But we liked it! We had the "popeye" which are spinach fritters w/ honeycomb...super! The tuna belly and tomato salad w/ scallops was good as well. The paellas we had - the arroz d'gla w/ iberico jamon and mushrooms was our fave paella, but the catavents w/ seafood was pretty good as well. But our fave dish were the pork sliders, yummy! We will definitely return!
