Somorrostro

Nettes Ambiente, nicht die «typische» Tapas Bar, auch nicht so hektisch. Es wird mit altem Silberbesteck eingedeckt und es gibt Stoffservietten. Das Restaurant bietet spezielle Slow Food Gerichte.
Das Essen war in Ordnung. Alle Portionen aber sehr klein. Die Kroketten waren für meinen Geschmack zu trocken. Sehr gut war das Kaninchen mit Hummer und Bohnen.
Trotz der beachtlichen Preise für die «Mini» Portionen Tapas wars am Ende nicht wahnsinnig teuer denn: Der sehr gute Wein war preiswert.
Der Service war auch ok.

Die ein paar skeptischen Beiträge kann ich persönlich nicht nachvollziehen. Es war wohl gerade eins der eindrucksvollsten Restaurantbesuche, die ich je hatte. Stylisch-​rustikales Ambiente, aufmerksame Bedienung und Fisch-​Tapas nicht von dieser Welt.
Unglaublich. Dieser Ort wird ab jetzt fest auf meine Barcelona-​Liste gesetzt.

Leckeres Essen, verdammt netter Service und sehr gemütliches mit offener Küche gehaltenem Restaurant. Die Speisekarte steht auf großen Schiefertafeln und wird immer zum Tisch gebracht. Die Preise für Essen und Getränke sind für dieses Niveau human!

Just spent time in Barcelona and went to about 30 restaurants… Most of which were great. But this was the best!

Great menu (also available in English) with a wide variety of options — seems like the menu is based on seasonal ingredients. The menu is pretty heavily focused on seafood. Also, they serve paella even though it is not on the menu — we didn’t have it ourselves, but we saw another table eating it after we had ordered.

Service is terribly slow and incredibly unfriendly. Tapas are ok, but definitely far from excellent. Besides the portions are just ridiculous for the prices! I have been here twice only because I thought may be the first time we did not chose the right items. But no, still not worth the money. Definitely better than tourist traps along Paseo de Joan Borbo, but nevertheless nothing special.

I could cry thinking about this place. It might be the best food I’ve had in my life. After I came here, I returned the next night and the next night. Save yourself the time and effort and just eat here. It’s the best food in the world. The service is just lovely. Omg it hurts thinking about this place, it’s just so good.
The duck ceviche is everything.
Best paella in Barcelona.
The vermouth, got me drunk! :)

Amazingly fresh food with a creative twist. We throughly enjoyed our visit. The mussels were fresh, the skip jack was delicious, the mushrooms were simple but amazing. And the paella was over the top. Add to that a wonderful setting and you have a winner. A must try.

Han cambiado totalmente el concepto de restaurante. Todo. Interior incluído. Lo que no ha cambiado es su chef, su cocina, y su filosofía; casi siempre basada en producto de proximidad, de temporada, y bajo el paraguas del concepto «slow food». Lo que pasa es que ellos ya estaban metidos en esto del «Km. 0» antes que nadie, son pioneros, y han aprendido de sus propios errores. La experiencia ha mejorado, puedes probar más tapas a mejor precio, y siguen apuntándolo todo en una pizarra, siguen dadno buenos vinos por copas y Jordi sigue tan simpático como siempre. Por poner una pega, los precios, y que se ha perdido ese puntito de «restaurante romántico» que tenía antes. Muy top.

Auf der Suche nach einem guten Fischrestaurant sind wir per Unilocal hier gelandet. …
Nette Atmosphäre, super Kellnerin die einem mit der Karte geholfen hat (unser Englisch ist nicht so perfekt)
hat uns zum probieren den Seeigel empfohlen (2 €) und Catch of the day… Hatten dazu noch Garnelen (super lecker), Sepia und Kartoffeln. …
Catch of the day haben wir nochmal erneut bestelkt, weil wir selten soo leckeren Fisch gessen haben…

Un sitio muy agradable. Caña + tapa a 2 € y un vermouth muy rico + tapa a 3,50 €. Es de agradecer que no me hayan puesto pan en la tapa!

Awesome! Unilocal delivers again! A must while in Barcelona if you are a foodie or mildly adventurous diners. I am mildly adventurous, and my wife will try anything.
Service was great. Small restaurant. Cool décor. Great feel of the place.
Extremely fresh ingredients. Every element from ingredients to preparation to combinations to presentation were fabulous.
We ate:
Sautéed Wild mushrooms, blue fish with quinoa & mushrooms, cod fish brandada with ratatouille, flat bread with tomato. All spectacular!
Deserts — apple tatin and tartlets with quince. Both were scrumptious.
I am taking a very happy girl home tonight!

Go here for dinner at least once in your time in Barcelona. This little gem was tucked away near the beach, had I known of it sooner I would have eaten there more. We showed up around 2200 with no reservations and a group of 4 on Friday night, they sat us immediately and were very friendly.
After a few minutes of reviewing the menu board and coming to no solid starting point we asked what our waitress recommended and she looked at the menu and said everything, so we took her advice and ordered almost everything. Not one plate let us down. They pride themselves on being a farm to table locally sourced type of kitchen, they do not disappoint. From tempura fried zucchini flowers with goat cheese to steamed seafood medley to roasted wild mushrooms it was truly delicious. My group ate till it couldn’t take anymore wine and food then we gladly said goodnight to the staff and wandered to the beach for an evening beach stroll. Most definitely will be returning as the seasonal menu will need another chance to make culinary magic.

Verdaderamente extraordinario. Cocina excelente. Ingredientes de primera. Servicio maravilloso. Relación calidad /​precio… Fantástico.
Truly extraordinary. Excellent cuisine. First-​rate ingredients. Wonderful service. Price quality ratio. Fantastic.

Risotto was WAY under cooked. Ratatouille was just salsa on kale chips almost. The food was way underwhelming. For the price this was awful.
One star because our waitress was very kind.

Letztes Jahr per Zufall entdeckt und absolut begeistert: Im Gegenzug zu den vielen Tapas-​Bars und auch Restaurant, die sich doch im Großen und Ganzen darauf beschränken, ein wahrlich entschleunigtes Durchatmen von der sonst üblichen Rastlosigkeit, die das Konzept Tapas gezwungenermaßen meist mit sich bringt. Slow-​Food wurde hier ganz groß geschrieben, aus einer kleinen feinen Karte konnte man klassische 3 Gänge — Vorspeise, Hauptspeise und Dessert — auswählen.
Mit genau derselben Erwartungshaltung sind wir diesmal der Entschleunigung zielgerecht entgegengesteuert und wurden hierbei aber enttäuscht: Die ursprüngliche (zumindest letztjährige) Form musste — aufgrund der Vielzahl der Besucher aus Erfolgsgründen wie wir annehmen — einem doch sehr vergleichbaren Tapas-​Bar Konzept weichen. Die Speisen waren durchwegs gut und vergleichsweise sehr kreativ, allerdings ist Slow-​Food in der Form Geschichte, das Ganze hat eher sehr gestresst gewirkt. Wie gesagt die Gerichte waren alle gut, die Weinkarte ist immer noch passabel und sehr günstig, allerdings gibt es eine Vielzahl an Lokalen die ähnliche Gerichte anbieten, unterm Strich sogar etwas günstiger. Schade!

Nach einem Jahr habe ich Lokal wieder besucht. Leider hat sich das Konzept vom Slowfood Restaurant in Gängen serviert gewandelt. Und zwar in eine gewöhnliche Tapas Bar. Da es gute Tapas Bars wie Sand am Meer hier gibt, muss sich das Somorrosto auch dieser allgegenwärtigen Konkurrenz stellen.
Die Speisen werden frisch in der offenen Küche zubereitet, was an sich auch kein Novum ist. Die Qualität ist wirklich gut aber die Preise haben auch dementsprechend angezogen. Ich finde, es war sehr teuer (zB: eine kleine Tapas Portion Gambas um EUR 15).
Daher mein Fazit nach neuerlichen Besuch: Es gibt keinen speziellen Grund mehr hier her zu gehen, dennoch wird gut und frisch allerdings auch recht teuer gekocht. Das können andere Lokale aber auch. 3 Sterne wären zu hart, 4 sind eigentlich zu viel aber das Pendel schlägt dennoch Richtung 4, da es keine 3,5 gibt.
Tip: der Cava der Marke POL ist wirklich gut und preiswert.

We didn’t have a reservation and as soon as they found out, they wouldn’t give us the time of day. One of the patrons at the bar yelled «No Englishmen» at us. We’re not even English! We waited around for a while, hoping the waitress was just busy, but she went through a couple of tasks and still didn’t bother even giving us a table.
So we went to Comestibles next door and they were nice. Try their mojito!

The food was amazing and the service was fun and very kind. My family and I tried out some foods that were new to us and ended up loving ever single thing. The serving size is quite small (tapa size) but very delicious and overall left me smiling at the end of the night.

Really good seafood plates in a nice sit down restaurant. It is located near the Barceloneta area and has access to some really fresh seafood, and it shows in the food they serve.
The shrimp, mussels, and cockels, and catch of the day (white fish) were all cooked amazingly well. The eggplant sashimi was a miss — while it’s what they said (uncooked eggplant), it didn’t taste amazing. However, the plating was well done, and the couscous it came with was very savoury.
The Padron peppers, garden tomatoes and zucchini hearts were also great, but definitely not as amazing as the seafood dishes.
Although the portions are somewhat small or tapas sized, the prices are reasonable and we ended up ordering about eight different dishes and a bottle of wine for under 100 €.
The coolest thing is that they bring you a giant (English menu available as well) menu to your table for you to order from!

Allez y les yeux fermés.
Pour notre dernier soir à Barcelone, nous souhaitions un restaurant sorti des sentiers battus, et nous avons fait appel aux avis de Unilocal.
Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été agréablement surpris d’avoir un accueil aussi chaleureux. Effectivement en une semaine à Barcelone, nous avons eu très peu d’établissement accueillant.
Quelques minutes d’attente avant d’avoir notre table, nous permettent de déguster un excellent vin blanc, avant notre voyage d’expériences culinaires aussi savoureuses, originales que belles.
Cote originalite, j’ai testé des anémones de mer en tempura. Excellent, comme tout le dîner
Il faut noter aussi que certains plats sont: Slow Food
Je né vais pas énumérer les 8 plats testés mais simplement vous conseiller d’aller vous aussi à la découverte du restaurant SOMORROSTRO.

We wanted to go to a good seafood restaurant and searched here on Unilocal and then this restaurant came up. We were a bit sceptic because of the size and where it was situated, but we had a really lovely dinner and the food was so lovely.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was autentic and the waiters was really nice and helpful. There was not noicy like in many other tapasbars in Barcelona.
Next time I come to Barcelona I will for sure visit it again and also recommend it to others.

We stumbled on this in a side street of Barcelonata. It was an unexpected find with some traditional and some creative dishes.
We had the wild boar dumpling, the monkfish Cardeba style, the chicken wings with green curry and the zucchini flower with
goat cheese.
Would recommend all of the above highly.

Just traveled for 2 weeks throughout southern Spain and this wasHands down the Best tapas in barcelona! Great atmosphere, amazing menu, excellent service!
Everything they recommended was excellent. Highlights were the dorado, dumplings and gambas! Perfecto!

This Barceloneta spot is tucked away and superb! It’s right by a city square that is worth a stroll around as well. In this area, it’s easy to get pulled into a tourist trap along the main street to the beach. However, at this restaurant the mantra is «local and fresh». The gazpacho here was my favorite in the city. Grab the oysters if you can!

Puede que haber acudido con unas expectativas excesivamente elevadas merme la capacidad de sorprender y entusiasmar. Puede que la barceloneta esté en decadencia en cuanto a calidad y autenticidad. Puede que los locales apuesten mucho por el turista, mermando la experiencia gastronómica para paladares locales. Puede que haya locales que tengan una excelente estrategia de social media, obteniendo así excelentes reviews en páginas influencers sin un potente ‘reason to believe’ detrás. Puede que todo esto aplique al Somorrostro o no. Juzguen ustedes. Mi valoración: no volveré

Nice and cosy tapas bar with authentic and high-​class food for a moderate pricing.
The cook is using fresh and local ingredients. The meals cover a variety of high-​quality fish, including unusual offerings such as moraine eel.
The Chocolate ganache with sea salt and olive oil is amazing. The shrimps and Norwegian lobster are remarkable and intensively flavorful. The wine list offers good pairings.
The place is offside the tourist tracks, but nevertheless close to La Barceloneta Beach.

Wow, I wish we found this spot earlier in our stay in Barcelona (although we had fantastic food elsewhere as well). The best culinary ending. The area it is in (Barceloneta) felt like «Spain» to us. I wanted to explore it more, but alas, will save that for the next visit.
We were a little worried they may be too busy or we’d have a wait based on the previous reviews but we got a table right away. Menus are written on big blackboards (I liked this practice throughout Europe) in English and Catalan. We tried the duck rice, goat cheese filled zucchini flowers, patatas bravas, scallops and the Iberian ham plate. Every morsel was devoured. We were blown away by everything. Favorites were the duck rice and zucchini flowers which we’d never had. Although fried, they were so light and delicious.
Wine menu is great and they are helpful with making suggestions based on what you like. Service was excellent. I wanted so badly to try the plate of chocolate/​bread/​olive oil/​salt but we literally had to run out of there when we realized the last train in Barcelona ran at midnight. Oops!
They are opened every day from 1pm until midnight. You must make this a stop if you are in the city. Not far from the beach and off the over-​beaten tourist path.
Five Full Stars.

Yes
I found this hidden secret based on Unilocal review and it lived up to the expectations.
Being American I expected bigger portions but this is Spain so tapas and normal size portions.
Paella was amazing!
Cap ipota de pollo con was good too.
Catch of the day with potatoes was heavenly.
Order two rounds of paella!
Order a bottle of house since
Staff was really accommodating of our sleeping toddler — chef made special dish for her since she’s allergic to fish and nuts
Ambiance is tranquil… soft lighting. background music

Empezamos por la atención una de las mejores de la barceloneta (y yo vivo en la barceloneta) los chicos siempre con buen ambiente y ganas de que uno se contagie.
Los platos una cosa alucinante casi que pruebo todo el menú éramos tres y pedimos al menos 10 platos cada uno lo disfrutamos mas que el otro. Sigan así chicos.

This adorable restaurant deserves all of the great reviews. It has been our best meal in Barcelona so far, by a wide margin. Each dish was perfectly done. The fresh and relatively light seafood dishes cause this place to soar high above more traditional tapas restaurants. Also, the price tag was on the moderate side, all things considered. (Update: We returned to this same restaurant a second time on our last of 10 nights in Barcelona, and now can confirm that this was definitively our favorite restaurant in the City.)

Great small little tapas place. Worth visiting if you are around the Barceloneta area

Bueno debo decir que fui esperando el menú anterior y me sorprendió que han cambiado el menú entero a un tipo mas de tapeo… Me Patricio genial el tartar de vieiras con aguacate y el risotto de pato… Las Ostras que tienen estan muy buenas y tienen buena seleccion de Vinos. Uno de esos lugares que HAY que ir x lo menos Una vez

Die Vorschreiber haben es schon klar ausgedrückt– ein fantastisches Restaurant. In unserem Fall noch nicht mal «slow» — alles kam überraschend schnell … Wir kommen wieder!

Kleine, urige Tapas-​Bar mit schlichter Einrichtung aber dafür mit einer originellenKarte, hervorragendem Essen und nettem Service. Absolut empfehlenswert!

El arroz que comí era espectacular. Los cheffs, jóvenes y con arte, me encantó. Además buen servicio y un ambiente agradable. Un descubrimiento!

Después del evento Unilocal del #SMdayBCN fuimos a cenar con Txema e Inés, hicimos servir la app y nos llevó a este sitio ¡que gran elección!
Tuvimos la suerte de encontrar una mesa libre, la cual nos prepararon de seguida. Aconsejados por la chica que nos servía nos pedimos un tinto del norte de Catalunya (aunque la etiqueta era francesa) y luego cada uno nos pedimos diferentes platos del menú y acertamos todos! Yo me pedí de primero un arroz buenisimo de ceps y de segundo un exquisito magret de pato, bueno, exquisito no, lo siguiente!
Ellos pidieron si mal no recuerdo lasaña de jabalí con salsa de calabacin y un pescado blanco, muy suave y muy rico.
El local es muy cuco y la cocina es abierta, y el precio aunque pueda parecer caro, está muy bien en relación a la calidad. Un gran descubrimiento… un 10!

Castellano: uno de mis lugares favoritos para comer en Barcelona. El menú cambia día a día, depende de qué productos frescos que tienen. He ido allí tanto que me conocen por su nombre (siempre una buena señal de servicio al cliente). La comida es siempre fresca, y el restaurante tiene un ambiente maravilloso. Es mi lugar ir cuando los clientes visitan de fuera de la ciudad y cuando quiero ser romántico. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar. No será decepcionado.
English: one of my favorite places to eat in Barcelona. The menu changes from day to day, depending on what fresh products they have. I have gone there so much that they know me by name (always a good sign of great customer service). The food is always fresh, and the restaurant has a wonderful ambiance. It is my go-​to place when guests visit from out of town and when I want to be romantic. I highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.

We walked by the Somorrosto and could get no table. That was the reason for us to come back a few days later. You better make a reservation. The small restaurant is part of a group of restaurants that have dedicated themselves to cook only fish, sold on the fish-​market of Barceloneta. Sounds great and is delicious. Prices are o.k. We had Meditarean Gambas, clams and plaice with peas and pearl barley and skate with asparagus. Definitly not the regular all day tapas and more-​cuisine. It was all freshly made in the open kitchen. Wine was nice and worth the price. Service very friendly.

Olé y olé el pescao del día de la Barceloneta, de la ‘platjeta’ a tu plato, con un toque de personalidad propio de la casa; cocina de mercado, mediterránea y con carácter. El problema (o ventaja, según se vea) es que abre sólo por la noche.
Sólo por el nombre, y en homenaje a todos los que llegaron a Barcelona y se instalaron en la playa de la Barceloneta, encarando el Levante, vale la pena ir.

Oh aquí se come muy bien. Los platos están bien, producto bueno y bien cocinado. Tienen vinitos buenos y el local es muy chulo. Colores oscuros y elegantes, música suave y mesas grandes.
Se cena bien en pareja o en grupo.
No es muy barato, pero todo está tan bueno que merece la pena provarlo.

Este restaurante que rinde homenaje, al ahora homenajeado oficialmente con placa y todo, barrio de barracas del Somorrostro, que se encontraba junto al mar, y de donde fue originaria Carmen Amaya, es una buena recomendación para comer productos frescos y de calidad.
Cada tarde los cocineros, con el delantal y los cuchillos preparados, van a la Lonja de la Barceloneta a conseguir en la subasta el pescado que, horas más tarde, estará en tu plato. Suena a cuento, pero es cierto. Y si te digo que además en el restaurante hay piano, pensarás que te estoy tomando el pelo.
Si ya te han entrado ganas de ir, te advierto que se llena bastante y es recomendable los fines de semana o más tarde de las 21:00, si se quiere una mesa en el comedor principal, hacer reserva (desde internet puedes hacerlo). Y como son de la Barceloneta y muy pícaros ellos, se inventan un juego con premio: los 15 primeros clientes podrán disfrutar de un menú cerrado por 15 €.

Lo que se dice un lugar con mimo, con concepto elaborado pero fresco, con cocina de mercado y sutileza en las raciones. Y con premio para los primeros! un menú cena de 15 € para los primeros en llegar que yo, conocida entre mis queridos por mi puntualidad perfectamente latina, nunca he llegado a conseguir! Así que tampoco puedo jurar que realmente exista…
