Barnabier

Barnabier has a super-​nice patio along the waterfront that allows for a welcome rest from walking to & around Olympic Park on a chilly & windy afternoon
Their enclosed patio blocked out the wind chill factor & allowed for a lovely atmosphere to gaze along the harbor & waterway… too bad they allowed smoking as everyone around us was all lit up. But what can you do?
Ordered their white wine spritzer & vegetarian garden paella… I was looking for something light & bubbly that was like a sangria, only without the liquor
The spritzer was delicious & hit the spot
The paella had a nice flavor to the rice but there was no «garden» in this mix — it was filled with zucchini and eggplant. We saw maybe 1 floret of cauliflower & some minced peppers /​onions
Where was the corn? Mushrooms? Green Beans? Carrots? Peas? There are sooooo many other veggies that grow in a garden besides zucchini and eggplant — and given zucchini gives me a stomachache, I had plateful after plateful of rice while the Mr took the majority if the zucchini & eggplant
So for taking a chance & discovering a lovely spritzer, have to say A-​OK. We wouldn’t eat here again

Dando una vuelta por el puerto decidimos refugiarnos del frío y del viento que hacía en este bar para tomar un café, ya que habíamos comido hacía poco más de una hora y no teníamos hambre.
La decoración es toda de madera, como si estuvieras en el interior de un barco y, en su carta, hay un montón de cervezas distintas para elegir, aunque ninguno de los cinco que éramos en el grupo pedimos ninguna.
Yo pedí un capuccino, el cual me costó 2,45 € y estaba bueno. La atención correcta, ninguna mala cara porque nos tirásemos allí cinco personas como hora y media con un café o zumo por cabeza (también había mucho sitio libre).

De paseo por el puerto en un día de mucho viento, el ver un par de ancianas a 4 metros de altura, volando cual cometas, nos convenció de que era hora de tomar un café y entrar en calor.
Con miedo de que los precios de la zona nos obligaran a donar órganos o fluidos, entramos en este local con intención de tomar una consumición y alargarla ad infinitum.
La atención correcta, el café bueno y el local hecho para guiris pero acogedor. Además, no hubo ninguna mueca en los camareros a pesar de alargar el café casi dos horas.
Un detalle que me gustó es que tienen una carta de cervezas enorme y los precios en la misma no son como para alzar el puño y gritar; sorprendentemente son muy normales.
Así pues, visitad Barnabier si queréis refugiaros del vendaval y emborracharos con estilo.

Baaaad so baaaaad.
I was sooo hungry so we just sat down in one of the first things that looked okay. It looked…
Off course it was in one the most touristic area but still. We both ordered a pizza. I ordered one with veggies and my friend with ham. We even said to each other: who can f**k up a pizza…
I think we waited for like 10 minutes and there was the pizza already. That makes me suspicious, even a deep frozen pizza takes 12 – 17 minutes. So it was definitely not fresh.
Well I was hungry so I started. It tasted like fat. It was so not good. When Iam writing this my stomach started protesting again.
My pizza doesn’t get any stars. But my friend did like hers, so that’s one star. And they get a star for the view. We sat outside and had some beautiful view all over the harbor. It’s was a calming view.
Next time I will skip this place for sure. There are a lot of more options further down the boulevard.

The food, service and price were all really great! View of the marina couldn’t be better, perfect spot for a quick casual dinner! Sangria was pretty good, the server’s english was better than most places and explained the pricing of paella to us, which was a really nice curtesy, to make sure we understood it was priced per person and min 2 person order. The paella was better than the € 80 paella we had 2 days ago!!! The razor clams were fresh, large and plentiful per order. didn’t try to upsell or oversell to us at all! Told us we ordered enough and shouldn’t order more. Incredibly considerate! Definitely would recommend this place and NOT a tourist trap despite their theme-​like décor!

Wish I’d have checked the reviews first. The view of the marina is nice but the food is just okay.

I must say that Barnabier was one of my favorite restaurants in Barcelona. By far, they have some of the best sangria I have ever tasted. Sweet and flavorful! We went to this restaurant at least 6 times solely for the sangria within a 3 day period! Delicious.
Additionally the food was great. I tried chicken paella for the first time and I was not disappointed. The garlic shrimp were delicious and perfect for snacking prior to the meal. I also tried the sirloin steak. I asked for medium and actually received more of a rare middle however I tried it and actually enjoyed.
The staff was prompt and courteous.
Definitely worth having a seat and trying the food.

We enjoyed the seafood Paella here as our last meal in Barcelona. Seating indoors or outside with view of harbor. Across the street from Hotel Arts Barcelona.

Today, we went to Bernabier because we had a good experience there +/​-​10 years ago.
We had excellent tapas, the sangria was just ok.
Our negative feedback :
— our waitress couldn’t almost not speak English. Not only at Bernabier was the language a problem, but also in a lot of places in Barcelona. And that for being an international city !
— we got the check and the waitress was BEGGING for a tip. We got even not the time to be alone after getting the check. This is not done and not acceptable.

Bueno agua con gas!!! Quattro formatges pizza was decent, though a bit on the cold side… My buddy couldn’t finish his as it was «too goaty»… This restaurant — one of a line of beach esplanade eateries — seems to be geared strictly to visiting tourists, with a smattering of locals. If nothing else, they should’ve done away with the foliage that blocked most of the view of the beach walk because this is strictly a people-​watching joint, with food placing a distant second… The crowd was definitely not our scene…

This is a great place right along the water. I came here for dinner with three of my friends and we ordered family style, which I recommend. My favorite dish was the delicious Chicken Paella. The rose sangria is refreshing. We also were able to get a free appetizer coupon on their website.

Les recomiendo las «espinacas gratinadas con queso de cabra» y el «bacalao a la catalana”-Son deliciosos!
