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.

If you wanna go to local fish restaurant in Barcelona, this place is the perfect one. Very delicious fish, potato and salad with very budget friendly prices.

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!

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 !

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

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!
