    One of the best paella in town. Located in a shack just by the beach. You can also see the process o making the paella since they cook them in front of the public. (40€) it has a fireplace for winter.

    LUNCH :: Take a stroll down the beach and plant yourself down for a beachside paella and great service. It's hard to find a beach spot with great food. This is the one (and very excellent) exception.

    Nobel Peace Prize winner, Muhammad Yunus, ate paella here (with students from IESE Business School and an Italian design school). The place was his choice. How's that for an endorsement?

    Awesome seafood, one of my best restaurant in BCN have the Pica Pica to start, monkfish is good too, and a bottle of Privat cava (not too sweet and perfectly balanced). A must

    The paella is amazing! The appetisers are so good too! Would recommend getting the white sangria. It's a busy restaurant, so expect to wait.

    Great selections of paella to share. Bustling atmosphere. While location had the potential to make it a tourist trap, prices were reasonable with good service.

    Amazing paella in generous portion. Could order a one person paella and share between two to try more dishes. Order pitcher of sangria instead of by glass

    Do what everybody does. Go for the special paella and pair it with a No 4 Instabile white wine.

    Really tasty. The ham air bag is a great appetizer. Grilled squid is tasty. Octopus creamy rice is fantastic. Deserts are the area of improvement

    Paella & Sangria were amazing. We had a mixed fish & meat paella and a squid paella, both excellent. A bit pricy but worth every penny.

    Paella is really very excellent, but what I’d really write home about are their patatas bravas... something about their sauce can’t be replicated anywhere else!

    Probably the best cava sangria in the city and definitely the best seafood by the beach. The paella is simply superb.

    I just go there to have a drink, because it's "one of the best sangria in Barcelona". The sangria is just awful !!! The white one's looking nearly neon green and tastes like sh*t

    Very nice views of the beach. The food is very average and the service is extremely slow. I would not go out of your way to come here, but if you happen to walk by then maybe check it out.
