La Medusa 73

Extremely delicious, home-cooked style meals. All ingredients are naturally fresh and cooked to perfection! I especially loved the octopus and shrimp on top of the potatoes! I would recommend this place with confidence. Mr. Aito helps us with everything. Thx.

My favorite market in Barcelona. I haven’t tried all the eateries there, but this one makes me want to go back again. Fresh seafood, cooked just perfectly. Friendly staffs. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic seafood tapas bar. The seafood here is super fresh and taste is top. The paella was so yummy and when you are here you must give the red shrimps a try they are amazing as well as the Paraden bomba. I see many locals come here so better be early because this restaurant is popular. Service was very friendly too.

Each day a different menu! That was a pleasant surprise, the waiter said they write the menu by hand every day! The fish is super fresh!

As promised - spectacularly delicious. Best octopus tentacle I’ve ever eaten.

Been traveling to Barcelona for over 29 years and I have to say, La Medusa 73 is one of the best seafood restaurants I always like to go to when I visit. They have great atmosphere in the Ninot Market, where I can enjoy a wonderful meal and also shop at the other vendors in the market for excellent ingredients to enjoy cooking and eating back at home. Came in today and was delighted by the wonderful staff. Very friendly and helpful and attentive to detail. They have a fish market alongside their food restaurant, so you can either buy it and take it home to cook (best to come in the morning for this part) or you save yourself the work and lets their professional chef and cooks do the hard work for you. They have beer on tap, and good wine as well to keep your thirst quenched and their work is not only delicious, it is beautiful. They can cook you a whole fresh fish in a couple different ways, they have tapas and the seafood here is never fishy. You must try their specials and seasonal fish offerings. When you are visiting the market for food supplies and get hungry or just in the mood for a great seafood meal, La Medusa 73 will never disappoint. They even make a great paella or a fideua if you want a nice pan of traditional cuisine for 2 or even 3. Have a wonderful time living in or traveling to Barcelona And 100% make a stop here for a great meal. Yum diddly Yum YUM! :-) Thank you for taking the time to read my review and hope you enjoy the delicious photos of the food we enjoyed and saw being delivered. Happy Eating my fellow Foodies!

Excellent seafood, incredible quality. The chefs are all amazing and constantly cooking away with passion behind the counter. Highly recommend this place. The cockles were incredibly fresh, and not overloaded with garlic like they usually are in most places - it let the true quality and flavour shine through. The fried fish was the best we had in Barcelona.

Nice fish Market restaurantm they can make your fish even if you choose one from the fish shop. Food was very nice. Not much atmosphere for the price you pay

Great little place tucked next to the grocery in the market hall. Staff is amazing! Menu is hand written. Bombas (like potato relleno without meat) are delish! Everything is so good including the hand cut fries. 10 out of ten!

Yeah, this place was excellent. It's located in a very clean, local market, Mercat del Ninot. Much smaller than La Boqueria but way better maintained and nicer. It felt like a local market (which it is) and not completely overrun with tourists. The seafood was SO fresh. Everything we ordered was cooked in such a simple way, but the flavours were absolutely fantastic! Service was definitely friendly, welcoming, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Please keep in mind, this is not a typical restaurant. You're sitting at a seafood bar. Order a drink, enjoy watching the preparation of your food, and savour. At one point, our chef asked to take a photo with the lady next to me. I was wondering who that was and found out it was Carme Ruscalleda, a Michelin 3 star (total of 5 star) chef! She has 3 stars for her restaurant in Spain, and 2 more for the one in Tokyo! How cool is that???

we felt so lucky that we actually found this place and had our last meal in Barcelona! The food is amazing from taste to presentation, they are so fresh and authentic! We were so full but still don't want leave so the chef cooked a special dish for us-Gambas and pig ear with pimiento Joro powder, I almost cried when I had the first bite!!! The taste is amazing! Can't even describe in words! 1000 recommendations food lovers!! Besides Mercat Del Ninot is much better than La Boiqueria:) if you are looking something very local.. Guess me and my boyfriend are the only tourists in that market:)

Best price to quality (ambience, food, service) ratio we encountered in a city filled with overpriced tourist hotspots. Away from the mobs of tourist, primarily a local haunt, but also welcoming of tourists. While located in a mercado, it is clean (including the washrooms), not as crazy busy. Food was tasty and fresh. No matter how busy this small place was, they always served with a smile. This is the only eatery we can think of returning to among the ones we've tried.

Had an amazing experience here. The staff was great at recommending food & was very nice. The squid was great, paella was great. They gave us a little seafood treat on the house. The fresh oysters were amazing. Hope to go back.

I am so glad i came to la medusa 73 located at a small market in barcelona. The service was fantastic. I chose the dorada the chef. Asked how i wanted it cooked came out perfect. The wait staff rexommended two different wines that were perfect. And st the end they game me a digestive apperitif with coffe flavor. This was a perfect lunch place

Really great atmosphere. It is in the fish market itself so look for the numbers to find it. We had the scallops, prawns, which I really liked. The octopus was also nice. Fast service, fresh and perfectly cooked.
