    (Translated by Google) To tell the truth, the choice was quite random, there are so many restaurants, one in part to the other that offer practically the same things. We happened here and we happened well. Right portions and normal quality at fair prices. Really nice and helpful staff. (Original) Per dire la verità, la scelta è stata abbastanza casuale, ci sono talmente tanti ristoranti, uno in parte all'altro che offrono praticamente le stesse cose. Siamo capitati qui e siamo capitati bene. Porzioni giuste e qualità nella norma a prezzi onesti. Personale davvero gentile e disponibile.

    Paella was OK, everything else was disappointing. Pasta bolognese would make an italian cry bloody tears. Steak is made by cobbler.

    We went there by being invited by the person in front of entrance. Not very good decision. paella chicken was not very good - had quite a strong taste of tomatoes. Sardines were a bit dry and did not feel fresh. Potatoe were actually good. Together with 2 beers and a cola we payed 52 euros which i feel is a bit expensive, comapred with places located more in the city.

    A highly recommended place to eat. A variety of food to eat with the best taste. It is the best place to eat at whilst in Barcelona. Service is amazing and food is really good. Kashif who served us was very friendly, helpful and provided the best customer service. Food is always to high standards. Definitely worth the visit throughout our trip in Barcelona :) 5* SERVICE, FOOD AND ATMOSPHERE!!!

  • 1/5 Matthias M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) If absolutely nothing else is open you can do that. This was the case with us on New Year's Eve. The food is completely frozen. Even the pizzas. The prices are completely excessive. (Original) Wenn absolut nichts sonst mehr offen haben sollte kann man das machen. Dies war bei uns am Silvesterabend der Fall. Das Essen ist komplett Tiefkühlkost. Auch die Pizzen. Die Preise sind dafür vollkommen überzogen.

    Honestly the first decent meal we had in Spain aside from the hotel's breakfast buffet. The food is delicious and abundant. Not very expensive. And the staff is extremely friendly. If you are in the area and looking for a place to eat, i strongly suggest this place.

  • 5/5 Yahya S. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered many items but firstly, price was reasonable. And most importantly the taste, it was so nice, that I couldn’t find any resemblance in Barcelona! Best seafood in Barcelona, and must try PAELLA! Totally loved it❤️

  • 3/5 Apetrei N. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was tasty, but we take the menu of the day and we do not received desert and we paid de drinks.

  • 5/5 Nellie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing and affordable paella. Cod fish was great too!

  • 4/5 Leo B. 8 months ago on Google
    Good mainly fish restaurant near the beach and harbour. We took the daily menu and chose calamares and chicken fingers. Menu are in English. Prices are without taxes??? Good was great, the calamares were the most tender we ever ate and the paella was eaten till the last rice grain. Only negative was the bill, they tried to charge a second wine. A small drink is included in the menu, so this wasn't necessary.

  • 1/5 OtRozay 6 months ago on Google
    First of all, they don’t include the tax in the menu, they write 10% tax at the bottom of the menu then then charge you 11%. I ask the the waiter that we were cold and he refused to turn on the Air Conditioning off! When I asked We were the only ones in the restaurant! Other than that Decent place, a bit disappointed that the fish it’s frozen considering being on the Mediterranean coast. We asked to watch a football match and they nicely turned the tv on for us, they had some technical difficulties but that’s ok.

  • 3/5 Simon W. 11 months ago on Google
    Before going in, we were told we'd only have to wait for 15 minutes when ordering tapas. That wasn't the case and we had to wait over 45 minutes. Some of the food was pretty good, others were just meh, nothing interesting. I'd only recommend this place if you find nowhere else to eat, which was the case for us unfortunately.

  • 5/5 Razvan P. 9 months ago on Google
    The menu of the day consists in two courses, one beer, bread and desert, everything for 14 euros. The price is really good, the food is delicios instead of paella from La rambla or another places from Barcelona and the staff is really kind and respectfully.

  • 5/5 Diego B. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing place, very comfy and great service. We asked the chef if was possible to make something different from the menu (because my girlfriend is allergic) and it was absolutely delicious. We will definitely come back! The paellas are way worth to give it a try!

  • 5/5 Jesh 11 months ago on Google
    We had the BEST meal!! the portions are big and the staff are all kind and really attentive, the food looks exactly like the photos in the menu!!

  • 5/5 Wasif R. 4 months ago on Google
    Great paella at an amazing price. service was really good. Very friendly. Wasif was really great and made our lunch a memorable one. Thabjs for the grappa shots after the meal. Really appreciate it. Even though it seems very touristy, it's definitely worth making a stop.

  • 3/5 aerodaan 2 months ago on Google New
    Going after Google's rating, we chose to have our dinner here. The portion sizes are good, prices are reasonable. After discovering a long hair in our Greek salad, both our starters were replaced promptly without hassle. The proprietor was very friendly and accommodating. The food was average though. After having ordered the sole, the dorade was recommended for being a better choice. My wife ordered the paella with seafood. Though well cooked, it was a bit too lemony. The area where this place is located, is quite touristy, so the lower key is understandable.

  • 3/5 Simon S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very average food: salad was made of canned vegetables and the fried fish was way too salty. The waiters tried to help and have been very nice, even nor charging one of the dishes. But it was still a disappointing meal.

  • 4/5 Warintorn R. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice staff At the prime time, have to wait for a while.. Have a toilet

  • 1/5 Kim W. 4 years ago on Google
    Staff did not ask how food was at all once served. Paella extremely oily would not recommend at all. Other meat order also oily and fatty. Reccomend going 5 mins up road for a nicer dinner.

  • 1/5 OG S. 5 years ago on Google
    Worst paella i have ever eaten in my life and on the tapa was a black hair.

  • 5/5 Hector A. 4 years ago on Google
    Menu package contains entrance, paella, drink, and dessert for less than 15 euros. Delicious Paella, I go here every time I'm in Barcelona.

  • 4/5 Ricardo C. 4 years ago on Google
    Not expecting much along a road full of touristy road with many restaurants having similar offerings. We picked Borbo with its attentive staff who offered a free upgrade to our sea platters with Cava instead of sangria. The platter is so huge and fresh. It is a brunch that the two of us couldn’t finish! Great view for a lazy sunny afternoon. All for EUR58

    (Translated by Google) Frozen food. We fell for it. Insolence. I had a Dr. OET. Pizza as it is in my freezer ... and even you weren't able to get it hot, let alone through enough. Usury and rip-off, 9 euros for a 1.50 euros pizza! (Original) Tiefkühlkost. Wir sind voll darauf reingefallen. UNVERSCHÄMTHEIT. Ich hatte eine Dr. OET. Pizza wie sie in meinem Tiefkühlfach liegt...und selbst dazu waren Sie nicht in der Lage diese heiß zu kriegen, geschweige denn durch genug. Wucher und Abzocke, 9 Euro für eine 1.50 Euro Pizza!

  • 4/5 Punyaphat S. 4 years ago on Google
    This restaurant locates in Barcelonetta, the most tourist's attraction area. You can try several Catalán and Spanish dishes. What I recommend is Seafood Tapas. I ordered the tapas as a set of five mini dishes. The taste was quite nice. But the main point is the seafood quality of seafood is really fresh and superb. Furthermore, the sangria provided by here was not much alcoholic and easy to drink. We went in group of four people and the average price per head was around 20 euros.
