Alexsandra De Lucena TingdalMay 20, 2012The best "Robalo" fish ever. Gracious traditional well dressed old waiters attending clients courteously.
Insiya DhattOctober 16, 2012If you love crabs have their crab salad that has olive oil, bell pepper, egg and vinaigrette.
Corbett EkonomouDecember 28, 2014Botafumeiro overall was good but not exceptional. The plates were tasty but nothing special in my opinion. High prices for what we got but nice setting and ambiance.- Corbett EkonomouDecember 28, 2014Overall Botafumeiro was good.

EbruSeptember 17, 2011A must-see restaurant in Barcelona. Paella, fish platter, crab cake. Mamma mia....
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.
Igor OstrowskiMay 9, 2017probably used to be good but today it is a tourist trap. Baked scallops arrived cold, the octopus that was highly recommended by the waiter arrived lukewarm and just bland, we did not eat it.
Igor MiniailoOctober 11, 2014Not the best choice from perspective of value for money. Dishes start from 30 euros in general. Starters and water are included to the bill.
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!!
Greg AvolaFebruary 27, 2013For foreigners - be careful - they will keep pouring wine and try to add on to your bill.
Gozde CarmikliSeptember 6, 2010Wow... Best lobster and seafood paella. And u can walk in the beautiful street after u demolish the poor thing :)
Chris KedMay 25, 2017Seafood platter was not fresh. Service okay but everything super rushed. After 30 seconds waiter asked if we are ready to order and kept bothered.
Sultan SHAugust 29, 2019Calamari as a starter, Seafood Paella and oven-baked seabass with potatoes as main 😍👌🏻
- 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.
Anthony LauSeptember 27, 2010It is expensive and food is only so-so. I had the fish soup which was good and the seafood paella which was ok. The food was too salty for me. I'm not sure it's worth it to be honest.
