"It was so good! I had paella with a lots of seafood. Service was very nice and I would definitely come back!!!"

"Don't come here just because of the value, but I have to start with that, because the fixed price menu at this place is a great value that includes 3 substantial courses plus olives, great bread and wine or beer.
That being said, come here because it's a neighborhood restaurant that takes great pride in serving fresh authentic Catalonian food to locals who appreciate it, and they do it with a smile.
I couldn't believe their homemade foie gras paté was available for a 5€ supplement. That was totally worth it.
Is the food perfect? No. It was a bit heavy on the salt. But it was certainly a better experience and a better value than any of the tourist traps up near the market and the Dali Museum.
Many reviews mention the host/owner and I understand why. He commands the room and will guide you through a great dining experience. If you know Catalan, Spanish, or French, you'll be at an advantage. English is a bit tougher, but he'll point his way through the menu.
Almost everybody in the place is eating paella, but don't limit yourself. There's a lot interesting on the menu, A la carte options and tapas are available, and I'll probably go in that direction next time, perhaps to try the "soupy" lobster rice."
