The 38 Best Restaurants in Barcelona

"Some high-end seafood spots in the city are places to see and be seen; this intimate, traditional marisqueria is a place to eat. For nearly 30 years, the supreme quality and freshness of the fish has kept any desire to modernize or adulterate classic Catalan cuisine at bay. Tucked away on a street in Poble Sec, El Camarote d’en Tomàs displays the day’s catch on heaps of ice at the bar, an impressive sight that immediately greets visitors. Expect wild-caught fish roasted whole, grilled giant prawns, impossibly tender sauteed baby squid, percebe barnacles, clams, scallops, and plump sea urchin roe scooped from the shell and laid across a butter-smeared cracker with a dash of lemon on top. Whatever you pick, be sure to start with the superb and refreshing esqueixada de bacallà, a popular cold preparation of salt cod bathed in olive oil, tomato, and olives that is near and dear to the hearts of many Catalan people." - Sam Zucker

The seafood here is quite excellent, especially the big red prawn is so juicy and tasty. The Spanish percebes are quite tasty but very troublesome to eat, but is an interesting experience and they do allow you to order a small portion just to try. The wine by the glass is just so so and they do have a limited choice of wine selection especially when you do it by glass. Service wise friendly and helpful. Atmosphere the restaurant is a bit tiny. The entrance might be a difficult to find when the restaurant name is not on it……

A Wonderful Seafood Experience at El Camarote de Tomás We had an amazing dinner at El Camarote de Tomás! Every seafood dish we tried was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. The grilled prawns, baby squid, scallops with herb sauce, and even the rare goose barnacles were all exceptional. One of the highlights was the fresh fish salad topped with tomato and olive oil — so light, refreshing, and perfectly seasoned. The sangria was chilled and delicious, and the tiramisu dessert was smooth and rich — the perfect ending to a great meal. Service was also top-notch. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. If you’re in the area and love seafood, don’t miss this restaurant. Highly recommended!

Fantastic fresh seafood. Incredibly welcoming staff. We were there with our young daughter and they made sure she was looked after with a colouring book during the meal. The whole seam bream and raw prawns were amazing. Highly recommended.

Came here for lunch and wow, just wow. The seafood was incredibly fresh and delicious (and not cheap, but it was of very high quality). We ordered what was fresh/in-season based on what they laid out behind the glass. Highlights: 1. Baby squid: these were so succulent and delicious, served with an aioli on the side 2. Razor clams: the smallest razor clams I've ever seen but they packed a punch, served with a wonderful green sauce on the side 3. Carabineros prawn: rich, luxurious, simply cooked. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The restaurant was cozy, providing exceptional food. Although today there wasn’t many selection of seafood as I expected. But I can say with confidence that everything I ordered was as fresh as it can get. Everything was well cooked to perfection and service was professional that set off a great atmosphere. Definitely worth traveling here if I was back in Barcelona again.

This was the best seafood I've ever had. They've got a counter up front where they show you what they've got and you order from there. We had squid, prawns, shellfish, and bream. The fish was poached in oil and was incredible. The service was super friendly, attentive, and responsive -- Carina and Marc were our servers and are absolute professionals. I was specifically looking forward to Barcelona for its seafood. El Camarote de Tomas made it memorable.

Seafood fresh as can be, the food are so good. Very welcoming, walked in around 1:30 pm at first thinking maybe the lunch crowd are gone but soon the crowds started rolling in. The seafoods are all displayed, pick what you want and they'll cook it for you. The place looks kind of underrated fancy, white linen cloth but when the food came out - OMG

Tomas out does himself along with his wife & son. Never disappointing. How does she cook so good? Everything is always great.. one of our highlights to coming to Barcelona.
