We came upon this restaurant the morning of our arrival into Barcelona, sleepy and jetlagged. We had time to kill before we were able to check into our Airbnb. So when we walked by this restaurant, we made a mental note to look it up on Yelp later. Fast forward to much later (after my nap), and found out nothing had been written about this place. It did not deter us, however, and we decided to head on over for dinner. Why hasn't any Yelper written about this restaurant? This place is fantastic! It's literally steps away from Sagrada Familia Basilica....2 steps maybe? Once we entered, we were greeted by the owner (maybe?). What a fun guy he was! I asked for the best table in the house and he said, "Would you care for an ocean view?" Huh?? He gave us a lovely corner table with a great view for people watching. Spaniards are just beautiful people to look at! I mean BeauTiFul! Their menu is extensive, but our waiter was very helpful and patient with us. The menu is also English friendly. So no habla Espanol? No problemo senorita. We, my husband and I, decided on: Shellfish Platter, Octopus Galician Style, Squids Andalusian Style and quenched the thirst with a bottle of some Spanish red blend from Montsant. Everything was delicious! The shellfish was sweet and juicy, and the octopus and squids were tender and seasoned to perfection. The quality of their food certainly exceeded our expectations. The nice man who greeted us (owner maybe?) came around to our corner hideaway and asked how everything was. By the way, this man speaks 5 languages fluently. Geez! Some people just amaze me. The restaurant has a nice outdoor terrace, and it's open 7 days a week. Which is a rarity since many nice restaurants in Barcelona are traditionally closed on Sundays and Mondays. The best part of the evening was the super friendly service. They certainly made us feel at ease on our first night in this beautiful city.

After a stroll from my hotel down this Avenue with several restaurants I decided to try this particular one I wanted Paella with shrimp and chicken and got exactly that. the service was wonderful the food was great!! I don't care for clams but there were small ones in the Paella and I even ate them, delicious I can't wait to return!!

Muy buenos platos, lugar muy agradable. Comida exquisita y variada. Todos los platos de mar con un sabor excelente.
