    Based on the recommendation from Trip Advisor we went to this Restaurant to have our last meal before flying back to Germany Sangria tastes good not that sweet and it is worth trying 1 L option. As main dish we ordered Paella for two people. Quantity is good and tastes amazing. Staff is very nice and welcoming.. At the end they offer two free shots :) I would highly recommend this restaurant if you like Paella 🥘

    Amazing paella, good desserts, even better sangria. Only down side was we didn’t know enough Spanish to ensure we ordered 2 portions rather than 1! Best we’ve had so far, and came recommend from a local. Must visit. The shots whilst paying the bill were a welcomed extra!

    Wow! We we‘re on our vacation three times there because we liked it so much! The service is very funny and courteous! The food was so delicious (especially the Paella!) and the interior was comfortable! Thank you so much! 100% recommended!

    (Note to viewers: The staff will ask customers to write reviews while paying bills in this restaurant.) That being said, service is great and Albert definitely deserves a praise. We had the black rice and although it's good, I've had better paellas in other places in lower prices (the black rice here is around €22). The seafood in the black rice is also average overall (apart from the shrimps, which are great in flavour!) Overall good restaurant but slightly on the more expensive side.

    we ordered the seafood paella and the black paella- the black paella was outstanding, I’d recommend people to choose the black one if they had to choose only one. the seafood was fresh and the portions large - my partner and I were filled to the brim and had to leave the last few bites as we simply could not finish it. it was the first paella my partner had in spain and he was pleased with the black one as well. the price is pretty much the same with other paella places in barcelona, but for the quality and quantity it was more than worth it. the restaurant was clean and the owner was amiable, making this an even better experience for us.

    Known for their paella and sangria, they exceeded expectations on both fronts. Squid ink seafood paella was served with garlic aioli and is a must try when here. While we were seated in an awkward corner, atmosphere was good; interesting covers of pop songs will play throughout the night.

    I had the most beautiful squid ink paella in this restaurant, it was the best meal I had in Barcelona. The staff were so friendly, especially Albert who gave us free desert peach wine to finish our lovely meal. Such a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this place!

    Awesome staff, very welcoming and polite making good suggestions about options. We loved the paella with pollo, tasteful and beautifully prepared - you could get crispy rice attached to the bottom of the pan. Lovely experience.

    My family and I are visiting from the US and dined here tonight. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully prepared. We made reservations and were seated promptly. Albert, our server, was wonderful. He was attentive, thoughtful to our little girls, ages 4 and 6, and even treated them with their very own sugar rimmed cups for their waters. Overall, we had a lovely dinner and experience!

    Visited with wife after hearing numerous positive feedbacks and got to say that they weren’t just rumors. We tried variety of foods/drinks and loved them all; especially their Seafood Paella. It was among the best that I tried. The staff by the name of Albert was extremely kind and helpful. Overall, was a very pleasant restaurant for a nice dinner. Worth the visit for sure.

  • 5/5 Tímea T. 1 year ago on Google
    Portions are huge, for tapas and for the paella as well (the two of us could only eat about half of the whole plate), and they were delicious. We tried some kind of white sangria, which was also okay. Overall it's a nice place to have paella.

  • 4/5 Jake L. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly bartender helped us order a quick drink. I recommend sitting outside to watch the drama at the 1 euro drink bar opposite! We came back here the next night for a full meal, and were greeted by good portion sizes, friendly waiters, and a free shot at the end of the meal. Highly recommend.

    Stopped in for lunch and could go back everyday. The dishes were so fresh and delicious. Our server, Leo was awesome. The sangria was some of the best I have ever had. Definitely go here, you will not regret it.

    We ordered the Seafood and Mixed paella. Both tasted absolutely great. Portions are quite big. Taste was great and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend if you're looking for good paella!

    Loveeeeeeeeeed it here! Delicious food and love the vibe 😍 Best squid ink paella I’ve had so far the portion was quite big we ordered one person portion for two people and it was enough! Their calamari was really good too we ordered the one with egg batter.

    Very tasty food. I had a seafood Paella with chicken, too much for myself but worth it. Sangria is delicious. Make your online reservation in advance to get your table in the evening. Service was very quick and friendly.

    I've been in Europe for over three months, and today marked my first time getting upset at a restaurant, prompting me to post a complaint. Firstly, despite the popularity of this restaurant, my experience today was quite frustrating. Our initial seating faced the dishwashing area, where someone continuously washed dishes and even splash water on my friend while we tried to eat. I couldn't bear it and requested a change. They moved me to a nearby spot, mentioning a 20-minute limit due to reservations. However, I observed that the restaurant wasn't fully occupied for the following forty minutes. What perplexed me was the apparent segregation, with Chinese customers placed at the crowded bar while mostly other customers occupied the tables. Is this not discrimination? Secondly, what truly provoked me was during the payment. My friend and I requested separate bills. She paid in cash, and when I asked a male waiter for the card, he nodded but then ignored me for at least 10 minutes. I gestured with my eyes, but no one acknowledged me. After calling out, I finally got attention. Later, a dramatic scene unfolded when a guy attempted to merge my friend's paid bill with mine. Despite my repeated explanations, Waiter B and the owner intervened. I reiterated that my friend had already paid multiple times. The owner claimed she was stressed, insisting she couldn't understand English, while another guy, who understood, was hindered from listening to my English explanation. Is it reasonable to expect a cheerful demeanor in such a dining environment?

    They serve paella with one person portion 👍 Being the last meal in our 5 days trip in Barcelona, it was perfect. Will definitely love to come back in the future 😊

    Hola! My travels have brought me to Barcelona! And this was my first paella experience! I heard it would be super salty, but this place had the salt on point! It wasn't as salty as I had expected and it was the right amount! The rice was also not dry and not hard but had a good crunch to it while being moist. The seafood was mussels, clams, fish (type of fish ball?), and shrimp (prawns?). The seafood was cooked to poifection and was not dry or undercooked. I would order another paella but I am stuffed! It's portion is enough for 2 (or more depending on ones appetite). You have to wait 30 minutes as that's how long it takes to prepare and cook but it's worth the wait. We also had calamari and it was crispy, but u have to ask to get a dipping sauce if wanted. Overall this place was a nice spot to eat!

    Trying Paella for the first time in Spain and this restaurant did not disappoint me. If I have a chance to come back to Barcelona I will choose this restaurant again. Service: really nice, we were given a shot of fruit wine after the meal. Price: About 25-30euros/ person.

    We wanted to find a good place to try paella in Barcelona and Micu Maku definitely hit the spot for the paella craving we had. We had an early lunch here. We had the Andalusian squid followed by the paella and had the sangria. Sat outside in the sun. The paella was very good and the waiter was very friendly as well. 8/10 on my personal score card.

  • 5/5 Mimi N. 2 years ago on Google
    BEST Paella I've ever had. Salad was okay, bread with tomato-garlic was nothing special and I didn't like the olives. However, I still give 5 stars because the Paella was really amazing.

  • 3/5 Marco G. 2 years ago on Google
    We looked for a good restaurant on TripAdvisor where to have proper paella. This place was ranked like one of the best in Barcelona and our expectation was quite high. The rice was tasty but honestly the fish (or meat in the mixed paella) did not impressed us in terms of variety and quality. We also had better Catalan cream in Italy and the cheesecake was a bit heavy. Overall it's okish but i would not recommend it as "the" place to go

  • 4/5 Tim H. 2 years ago on Google
    Chorizo was by far beyond the expectations. Service and delivery is a bit slow, paella should take for 30 minutes everywhere on the average though. Place is not spacious; 4 people are maximum to visit, depending on the availability. In conclusion, it’s well suited to invite those who are new to Barcelona here.

  • 5/5 natasa t. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good paella and chorizo!! Fresh ingredients and extra materials. Individual portions so anyone can get exactly what they want. Prices very very good and the owner provided extra olives and Malibu shots. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Totally recommend.

  • 5/5 Clément L. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful welcoming, the waiter was caring, quick and efficient. We took, pan con tomate, olives, one seafood paella, one black rice paella. Everything was at good temperature, tasty, looked and tasted fresh. We took the white wine the waiter recommended, it was good, fresh and mineral. I defenetly recomand this restaurant.

  • 4/5 Wojtek S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very very solid lunch experience! :). Great value at 12€, everything was very tasty. Obviously it’s not fine dining, but it’s perfect for a mid day pit stop. We had the croquettes, eggs with jamon and potatoes and a paella and everything was ok.
