awesome neighborhood spot — friendly and fast service, and open late (though the kitchen closes for a period of time in the afternoon). we sat at their outdoor patio space for dinner around 11 pm before the beach concert for la merce (which was awesome). we got the paella dinner — prawns to start and seafood paella as a main course — to share, and added padron peppers because well, we needed some veggies in our spain diet of mostly cheese and bread and seafood. everything was delicious and timed right and cooked well. drinks are cheap too. definitely recommend for a casual lunch or dinner

If you love flavorful seafood, I highly recommend the grilled shrimp (1^st plate/​appetizer) and the cauldron de pescado (2^nd plate/​entrée). Shrimp were jumbo, perfectly salted and come with their flavorful heads on. The pescado was tender white fish, center cut so no small bones, and came in a savory tomato-​y soup base and came with clams and mussels… Comida Muy deliciosa! Amazing price given the current EUR/​USD exchange rate ;)

I came here with two friends on my first night in Barcelona. We had just gotten into the city, it was getting late, and we were starving. Thankfully,
did not disappoint.
The dishes served here seem pretty standard with everything else that is served in Spain, but I must say that the paella is one of the best I have ever had. Incredibly hearty and moist, the meat paella we got for the group was the perfect solution to our hunger. Our server was incredibly nice and accommodating and the outdoor seating is very pleasant at night. The restaurant is located on one of the main dining streets of Barcelona (according to our hostel), so it’s a great place to lounge and people-​watch. While we were eating, a roller-​blading parade randomly decided to skate by.
Quick tip: The pitchers of Sangria here are a bit expensive for what they give you (roughly 17 euro for maybe a 4 – 5 glass pitcher), so I would avoid getting it. There are plenty of other places in Spain with better and cheaper Sangria.

Nice place on «the other Rambla» Poblenou. It was a couple of blocks from our hotel and a nice spot to wind down the evening. Only had drinks here.
Cool décor. Funky lamps and wallpaper (
) and music theme (

Was mostly locals or people with much better Spanish than me!
Friendly staff and bartenders.

Desde fuera, llama la atención por el contrabajo que flanquea la entrada. En el interior, las paredes y las mesas están decoradas con discos de vinilo. Uno imagina que aquí podrá sentarse a disfrutar de una buena taza de café, escuchando algún tema clásico de Miles Davis o John Coltrane… No sé, cualquier cosa elegante y de buen gusto. Pero son perfectamente capaces de colarte los grandes éxitos de Céline Dion y hacer que se te atragante el café.
Por lo demás, es una cafetería agradable. Sólo tendrían que ser un poco más coherentes con la música.
