Restaurant Cadaqués | Barcelona

This was one of the best Paella’s I have ever had. Antonio gave incredible service, switching between English and Spanish to accommodate different members of my party. Many of their dishes are prepared over wildfire stove, and the open kitchen allowed us to see our Paella and fish being prepared. They even let us go outside the kitchen to see an order of fish we had getting prepared, and they finished deboning our fish at our table. Would highly recommend!

Was recommended by our hotel concierge.... We had a very late lunch after a touristy afternoon. We were greeted warmly, were shown to a wonderful table in a quiet corner (6 of us). The food was excellent and we were well taken care of by wait staff. Had local white wine-also excellent-crisp, refreshing... with mussels, sole, paiia and langoustinos. All delicious and fresh. Highly recommend!

From the moment we walked into Cadaqués, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service throughout the evening was simply superb. Everyone made us feel welcome and cared for—from the first hello to the last goodbye. Now let’s talk about the food: everything was absolutely delicious. We started with the flower artichokes and Porrets a la graella—both beautifully prepared and full of flavor. For our main course, we had the Pato y Salsifíes paella (duck and root vegetable), and let me just say—it was out of this world. A perfect balance of richness and comfort in every bite. Our server, Ignaçi, was a delight! So animated, sweet, and attentive—he truly added to the magic of the night. To end this incredible meal, we indulged in the Xuxo de crema with warm chocolate sauce. Heavenly. We left super stuffed and super happy. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience in Cadaqués, this is the spot.

Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here! We enjoyed the fresh catch of the day - beautifully prepared scorpion fish that was expertly cleaned and perfectly presented. The flan was the perfect way to end the meal. What really made the evening special was how attentive and accommodating the staff were to our dining preferences. They went above and beyond to make sure we both had an excellent meal, and even surprised us with some lovely touches that we weren't expecting. The care and attention to detail really showed, and it's clear they genuinely want their guests to have a memorable experience. We left feeling very well taken care of and will definitely be back!

Beautiful restaurant, recommended by a local. The food, service? And atmosphere were delicious. Off the beaten path, away from the crowds, very close to On/Off tour bus (2 min walk). Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience dining at Cadaques Barcelona. The place is beautiful, the servers are fantastic and very attentive, we loved all their recommendations. We came for their famous Paella but got to enjoy that and a lot more! Thanks Allison for making our night so special!!! Can’t wait to be back :)

I usually don’t put much weight on 1–2 star reviews, but I should have listened this time. Maybe it was because we went toward the end of the night, but that shouldn’t affect food or service when you’re paying €50–100 per person. Things started off well with a friendly hostess, but it quickly went downhill. Our server rarely came by, and when he did, the energy was low. The highlight of the night was the tomato salad—it was excellent and gave us high hopes for the paella. Unfortunately, the paella was a complete letdown. The rice was undercooked and very hard, simply seasoned with saffron, and topped with a few pieces of meat. That was it—no depth of flavor, no variety, nothing memorable. I almost never leave food on the table, but this was the first meal I couldn’t finish in Europe. We left about half the dish untouched. Duck Meat was also very bland. When we mentioned this to the waiter (who hadn’t even checked on us until much later despite the restaurant being nearly empty), he just shrugged and walked away—no explanation, no effort to do anything. I would never recommend this place. I found it on Google, but wish I hadn’t. I won’t judge paella as a dish based on this experience—I’ve had far better versions outside of Spain—but sadly, this was my first one in Spain, and it was a major disappointment.

Just amazing, perfection in Barcelona, great food, superb seafood rice, cooked to perfection with charcoal open flame. Delicious wine list, top rated wines. We loved the atmosphere, friendly staff, all correct and good. For sure we will return.

Our concierge at our hotel made our reservation, yet the front desk did not have a record of it and kindly seated us anyway in a busy Saturday evening. Our server recommended a great Red wine from a local winery and it was delicious. Our party of 3 had the porkchop, squid ink rice and the duck. The duck was delicious, the other two dishes and dessert were good and better than most of our meals so far in Barcelona. We would return for sure.

The food and service was simply amazing. I wish you could smell a picture as them along do not do th9s place justice

If you are searching for a paella with authenticity and flavor rather than tourist schlock, this is the place. Cooked over an open flame (viewable through the windows from the street), the Cadaqués arroz is everything I hoped it would be and more; filled with muscles, rock fish, clams and squid and with a rice flavored with wine, saffron and other delicious mysteries. The service was friendly and the tables indoors are comfortable and feature a spare, tasteful Mediterranean decor. We will absolutely come back the next time we visit Barcelona!

Services was good. Foods was bad paella was bad rice was raw over price. A few pieces seafood . Salty
