Envalira

DELICIOUS We reserved a table one day prior for lunch and they kindly helped us through the phone. It’s a lively little restaurant and when you enter the smell of paella and delicious seafood hits you. For 24€ per person you get a starter, paella, dessert, beverage and “chupito” shot which is a really good deal. Everything was delicious, from the fried anchovies and peppers to start to the paella that just melted in your mouth, and finishing of with delicious desserts. For me this is a must visit for a lunch Barcelona, kind waiters, good food and good price.

Situated in the heart of Gracia, Envalira offers great food for a reasonable price. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious. The Paella Especial with chicken, rabbit and seafood was a delight, so was the rest. Don’t miss out on this one.

When we came in, it was Tuesday 6:20 pm, it was no one inside the restaurant and it has no outside tables on terrace. We ordered paella marinara, and it was good, a lot of seafood inside. The waiter propose us a cup of red vine and it was excellent! Interior looks old and cheap but it has nothing to the taste of a paella

Delicious all around, and wonderful service. We ordered the menu del dia, with the carpaccio bacalao, pisto, paella especial, and crema catalana and flan. The carpaccio was absolutely incredible- flavors were so intricate almost had a smoked fish flavor but was light and delicate. Pisto was very simple but seasoned very well. The paella was wonderful, beautifully seasoned and large portion. The razorclam was in particular a great addition. We loved the desserts as well. All in all a great dinner. Ambiance could use a little help- Aircon wasn't doing much and it was really warm. Would have preferred some outdoor seating. Wait staff was lovely and patient, even with some very picky and annoying people next to us. Highly recommended! We will definitely return.

Simple and small. Most clientele appeared to be locals in their sixties. As a tourist you automatically tend to think that a restaurant that attracts locals is good, but their comfort food may not be your idea of tasty food. We got the 3-course menu for 25 eu. I am not a Paella expert, but it had no flavor, just oily and heavy with pieces of squid. None of us liked it. Big portion though. The cod carpaccio appetizer was ok, nothing special. Friendly service.

Went here for dinner based on other google reviews. Delicious food & wine. Pardon peppers, seafood & meat paella. Highly recommend.

Come here at your own peril. You risk exposure to sublime flavors. For instance, superb padron peppers, with just enough salt to make them crisp but not too little to make them taste insipid. Truly fresh and flamboyant razor clams, cooked with the know-how of a select few. Try to cooked this at home, I dare you. The sautéed mushroom beef was so tender and exquisite (and not overcooked,) it outshone the recent beefs in my life. The flan was sweet to an intoxicating degree. I wanted another one but my belt has officially ran out of holes. Delicious, to say the least. The wine was proper good. Great implementation of pairing skills displayed. This place is very gentlemanly and slightly spiffy but in the old-school way, charming in its way. The attitude of the staff is serious but relaxed, and contributes in many ways to the overall experience. This is one of those places where the youth learn to shut up and appreciate the old ways that are currently being forgotten. Here, aunts and uncles will guide you and tell you to stray from the TikTok wastelands. Here you may come to learn of slower ways to eat rather than munch. A higher quality that was once standard (and unfortunately these scrawny younglings can't seem to get it). How to use a napkin and not make noise when you eat, so as to respect others around you. How to eat with correctness and still enjoy yourself fully. These places represent more than what they serve in their traditional dishes. They hold many keys, not just the ones to the kitchen and back door entrance. Don't squander away. I came here in 2019. My half Catalan cousin brought me along with pure intentions of continuation. He knew what was good in the hood. And now I know what is good.

Excellent family owned restaurant outside the tourist areas in Barcelona. However, the walk is totally worth it. They have been doing paellas since 1972. The seafood paella was excellent. This is the real thing and locals say the make the best “rice” in town. The service was warm, respectful and friendly. Big kudos!
