Terrassa Martínez

This was a recommendation from a friend and we were dubious given its location away from the city , but upon entering I can only say they delivered great service, lovely food and a wonderful location with views of the city. Book early to get the best seats, enjoy the rice and a fish - go as a group of 4 at least so you can truly sample what’s on offer. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here - well worth it.

Croquettes insane. Really nice host guy us a great table. Overall a great experience. Anchovies solid, Pan Tomate great, Arroz señorio high quality ingredients strong fishy flavour disappointed me though. Rice cooked too perfection, but definitely savory so I guess next time Ill try with rabbit instead. Nice atmosphere really good crowd.

If you want a more special occasion, celebratory meal, or just an elevated experience, I would recommend Martinez when in Montjuic. There is so much good food in Spain, much of it found in the most casual environments, but places like this should not be missed. I had the hands down best tuna tartare I’ve had anywhere, and the arrozes, Iberian pork and beef tenderloin were all outstanding. I had a green salad to start- something simple and light, but it was so fresh, dressed appropriately and opened my palate perfectly. When even a salad feels intentionally prepared, you should pay attention. The ambience is also so lovely, next to a gorgeous garden and with stunning views. Come with your partner or a group. You will not regret it!

We decided to eat here on our last night in Europe, having eaten our way across Morocco, Portugal and Andorra before Spain. This was by far the best place we ate the entire trip! The food was unreal and the view was simply magical. Super romantic spot for couples, an experience we’ll never forget. The service was exceptional, the staff spoke to us in English and had English menus. We also asked a lot of questions to which all were answered in a friendly and informative way. Loved this place and would highly recommend! Ps: the winter salad, steak and black rice paella are highly suggested!

Location of restaurant is pn the mountain. View is splendid. Mark, our waiter was an excellent food guide. He took the time to guide us. Paella and appetizers were DIVINE 👍👍👍. Must go restaurant. BRAVO 👍

Nice setting and great service, but the paella was a major letdown… We visited this restaurant in Barcelona to celebrate my birthday. The venue itself is quite charming, but not an extraordinary view, though it has still a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. We had made a reservation about 4-5 days in advance and informed them via email that it was a special occasion. Despite the short notice, they arranged a lovely private balcony table for us, which really elevated the experience. The staff were very attentive and welcoming throughout the evening, and the service was one of the highlights. As for the food, overall, it was generally good. However, the paella – which is one of their signature dishes – was a major disappointment. At €28 per person (€56 total for two), we had high expectations. Unfortunately, it fell short in almost every way. The rice was dry, the seafood was overcooked, and the shrimp hadn’t even been properly cleaned. The dish lacked the depth of flavor you’d expect from a place known for paella, and it just wasn’t enjoyable. It was honestly a shock, and it really dampened the mood of what was supposed to be a special night. In summary, great service and a nice setting, but if you’re going there specifically for the paella, I’d think twice. At that price point, it should have been much, much better. I now see why there are mixed reviews. I think they don’t have a standard and unfortunately, I wouldn’t go there again.

We came to Martínez just for drinks and were met with a cold, unwelcoming attitude from the start. We were told that this is a “proper restaurant,” which already made us feel uncomfortable, as if having only drinks was not acceptable. After ordering our drinks, we were left waiting for a very long time and were completely ignored. No one checked on us, no one asked if we wanted to order food or anything else. In the end, after sitting there for so long without any attention, we lost all desire to order anything at all. Disappointing service and lack of basic hospitality, especially for a place that presents itself as a high-level restaurant. Before leaving, after paying the bill, your colleague made a joke by asking whether we have money. He then said it was just humor. This is humiliating, and an article will be published about your restaurant. This is absurd!

This place was a little confusing to get to if you’re taking public transportation, but so worth the effort! It’s located on top of a hill with a beautiful view of the marina. I went alone for an early dinner and was absolutely blown away. This place is a MUST for the paella. It’s so delicious! I ordered the seafood paella. For dessert, I had the crème Catalan - do not miss this one! It was so smooth and not too sweet. A little on the pricier side, but the ambiance and the food was definitely worth it! 4 stars for atmosphere because the women’s bathroom was not working.
