Restaurant El Nou Cafetí

Came here because of the high google ratings and was very happy with the food. The paella was absolutely delicious and they even catered for a gluten intolerance by changing the recipe of the fried octopus. Service was also very good. Highly recommended.

My friends and I had dinner here the last day of the year. We were all super pleased by both the food and the service! It was my first time eating spanish food so I'm not an expert, anyway everything was very good! We liked the style of one of the dinner's bottles so we asked to bring it away, and they wrapped it for us like a present. They even offered us something to drink at the end of the dinner, I really recommend this place!

Charming Tapas bar specializing in seafood. 2 tapas plus the clams ; all delicious Very calm and friendly service, mix of Spanish and tourists at 8pm on a January Saturday night. Perfect in every way for what I was looking for.

Excellent place for seafood! We had the Cava sangria, razor clams, patata bravas, octopus, paella and they were all wonderful. Cozy and homely place. Would highly recommend!

This restaurant was THE best restaurant we have had in Barcelona. The prices were so good and the quality of food was fresh, delicious, and perfectly seasoned. And I have eaten at several other name brand restaurants in Barcelona and this was my favorite, honestly speaking! We got the razor clams, steamed mussels, fried squid tentacles, croquettes, and the Valenciana Paella 🥘 . All the tapas were delicious, and the paella was on another level! It was crispy on the edges and bottom, the toppings very well balanced, seasoning just right, and just a delight to eat! Paella and razor clams from other highly rated restaurants were much too salty, but El Nou Cafeti seasoned their food just right to bring out the natural flavors. Lastly, the service was so charming and personable. Thank you restaurant El Nou Cafeti! Edit: we went the next day before traveling out of Barcelona and got the razor clams again, grilled prawns, escalivada, and padron peppers. Again delicious. The prawns came out scalding and delightfully seasoned with a touch of salt. They even treated us to a shot of herbal and milk coffee shots for the road. I wish to visit this restaurant if I am ever back. Lovely!

Beautiful peeled seafood paella (much better than faffing peeling prawns) and more flavourful and large portion for 2 people. Lovely cod fritters, great house rose and white wine. Very special place and lovely waiters! A must visit despite it being a very unassuming area. Might look rough on the streets but the restaurant is charming and cute!! Complementary olives and digestif too

In this non assuming restaurant we had the tastiest paella we've had to date during our trip in Spain. Definitely recommend. Restaurant is located in a more sketchy side of town, hidden away from touristy area, short walk from the fat cat statue but the food and restaurant make up for it! Try the Clara drink, octopus and of course paella, super yum. Service is efficient and they gave us a liquor night cap. Also great prices. Thanks for the food !

Catalonian style tapas. Well done. Monkfish was rubbery but flavorful. Crema catalana slightly wet and slightly curdled but also flavorful.
