Apartment BarcelonaNovember 24, 2014If you’re in the mood for authentic tasty seafood, there’s Botafumiero, one of the city’s most famous seafood restaurants
BrunaDecember 27, 2012Very nice place, with great food and service. I had paella( good for 2) and crepe suzette for dessert. The waiter, Jose, was very kind.
Romy Alyssa MadisonMarch 24, 2017Paella was very good, but come on, the whole menu is extremely expensive for what it is. Staff doesnt speak english, but they try which is appreciated. Surprised dessert, great apero.
Yianna KalligaOctober 2, 2022The food is perfect and the service was great. When I visit again Barcelona I will come for sure 🌺
Kenny RogersJuly 15, 2017Had the caliente seafood platter - at total hit. Tremendous amount of succulent seafood for two persons (150€).
Yasmin Van CleemputMay 7, 2013Good fish restaurant, but quite expensie. I think you can have good fisj for cheaper prices in barcelona. I did not like the atmosphere cause it is so big. A lot of tourists, no locals
Shawn PonchaMay 26, 2019Excellent restaurant for seafood lovers. Be careful not to overorder as the platters are huge!
Luxos MagazineFebruary 10, 2012Considered by far one of the best seafood restaurants in Barcelona, Botofumeiro specializes in the distinguished cuisine of Galicia, the homeland of owner Moncho Neira... Read more
Fabio CamargoApril 8, 2017One of the best paellas in Barcelona! Expensive, but you get what you pay!- Salvatore CanforaJune 21, 2016Quality seafood in an old-fashion enviroment. Prices are above the average
Jing WangApril 6, 2018Squid ink paella was the best we had in Europe. Their traditional octopus was great too.- Jing WangApril 6, 2018Squid ink paella was the best we had in Europe. Their traditional octopus was great too.
Miha StrazisarMarch 15, 2023Great oldschool seafood restaurant. If you want to live a little, go there and maybe you even stumble upon a celebrity - take a look at their wall of fame.
Matt PaulJune 21, 2016Excelent service and old world ambience. Note: this restaurant is more expensive than indicated. €€€ would be a better rating. Enjoy!
Simone P.January 3, 2017Around Xmas prices were DOUBLE (yes, double) than normal, after I read the updated menu I ran away immediately... :D #NeverAgain
Ryo TadaAugust 17, 2014the taste was lovely, but not suitable for the price. You can find better taste than this in cheaper price in Barcelona. The place was beautiful, and there are complimentary desert after the meal.
Cisil CirozlarMarch 4, 2023Paella was my best I’ve ever had. Amazing fine dining place loved everything here🫶🏻
Sharmdeva SharmdevaMarch 28, 2016Old classy restaurant will be perfect place for special occasion, delicious food!
Insiya DhattOctober 16, 2012If you love crabs have their crab salad that has olive oil, bell pepper, egg and vinaigrette.
Jeremy BassApril 30, 2018Sit at the bar (kind of a Spanish version of an oyster bar) and have a late lunch.
Sam AminAugust 29, 2015The second platter of grilled seafood for two people is awesome. Tastes beautiful , wonderfully spiced. Very big for two people, resist the urge to order anything else.
Alexsandra De Lucena TingdalMay 20, 2012The best "Robalo" fish ever. Gracious traditional well dressed old waiters attending clients courteously.
Andrea GianfredaSeptember 20, 2010A bit expensive, but if you want the best fish in the city you have to go here: nice ambience, excellent food also on the counter!
Los Angeles ChinatownDecember 29, 2015Be aware of the mid price rating because it's quite expensive. We had a seafood paella for 2 ppl and it was 60 euros plus they charge 9 euros for water and another 5 euros for olives we didn't order.
Andres DouglasJuly 7, 2012I haven't been, but I've been told it is a good Galician restaurant specializing in seafood. On the pricier side.
Shaileshwori SharmaJanuary 30, 2016TOTAL TOURIST RIP-OFF. Attentive staff try to ensure a fine dining experience but the atmosphere feels forced. About the food: €90 for starter & too salty paella. Treat yourself to somewhere better!!
RRRJanuary 16So so so so so good! We ordered (PA I APERITIU, AIGUA SENSE GAS, SALPICO DE LLAMaNTOL, CLOïSSES MARINERA) 😋
- D WSeptember 14, 2016The food was good but the service did not meet expectations. Four times our order was wrong. I would also say the the place is very expensive and not as cheap as some reviewers.
