In a city where servers have a bad attitude, Pez Vela stands out both for its amazing service and delicious food. The Patatas picantes are amazing, and si is the butifarra paella .

Sarp Erkaya

Fun beach front restaurant with decent service and good food. Enjoy the tapas (get the small fried fish 🐟 )to start with and finish off with the paella . Enjoy the beach vibe with wine 🍷

violeta

Awesome place with high quality dishes, whatever you order it'll be good. Not all the staff is very friendly , and the prices are high. Worth for the location.

Fatima Al Hashimi

Great atmosphere. I personally liked it better in the warmer weather, but was still amazing. Awesome paellas . Lobster in brothy rice was good, but a little messy. Desserts were good too.

Jorge Madrigal

Get the menú Chiringuito if you come alone. I ordered the arroz de Calamarcitos, gambas y almejas with it and it was fantastic. The helado de turrón is probably one of the best I've had.

Inge Van Hecke

Great place for lunch or dinner . Try the vegetarian or fish paella . The ham croquetes are quite good as well but nothing beats te view if the Mediterranean with Barcelona city in the background.

Miquel SV

One of the best paellas in BCN, with great views of the beach . And the clams are a must.

Lucy

Get the seafood paella , don’t think twice!

Paella was great. This place is pricey but deserves it, cause everything was so delicious. You may want to make a reservation to sit outside with a better view of the beach .

Okan Erol

Lobster broth paella is good, galician octopus is fantastic, nougat ice cream is the way to finish an amazing meal! The coolest place in Barcelona! Not cheap though. 😎

Andrew Dodd

It's pricey but this stylish , casual beach side restaurant is a great Sunday afternoon hangout. It is busy at weekends with affluent locals and their kids but still feels chilled. Booking essential.

Disappointing, worst meal in Barcelona. 44€ paella for 2 with 6 small shrimps , clams and a few pieces of squid , green salad made with cheap iceberg lettuce... A meal for birds with bad service. Avoid!

Ali Al-Hamidah

We been here in late hours when the kitchen already closed.. They have good drinks and free wifi

Alèxia Solé

They serve real paella : a thin layer of rice (not with chorizo , frankfurt or whatever). In addition, you can enjoy of the beach and the sight of the coast. Desserts were good too. I'll return.

Steph Shih

Paella is more al dente , depends on whether you like that. Tastes good but the finish was too gritty for me. Their roast chicken is a solid dish. Awesome Apple tart too.

DxbM

Paella is great .. Tartar was ok .. Loved the beans and clams .. Burrata rocket was very good and so were the desserts - apple pie and naugat...

Lowie Deseyne

A big DISAPPOINTMENT! Had a seafood paella for two and it was barely enough. Besides that you could count the clamps and squids on one hand! So actually we paid €47 for some rice . Really a bummer.

Abdullah

Good paella ( classic paella with prawn only ). Their ice cream is 👍👍 ( nougat ice cream )

samantha cantore

Arugula salad is good, and one of the best Riesling wines I ever had. Great views of Barcelona landscape

Max ua

Great place, delicious house paella , kids enjoyed roasted chicken with french fries . it's better to book in advance if you are with big company

Mihnea Miculescu

Best seafood paella I've ever had! Enjoy it with a new world sauvignon from their selection.

Bartosz Feder

Delicious paella , nice service, great views .

Jarda Malina

Everything! Paella , fish , burger , tapas . Whatever you take, brilliant. Good wine as well . Worth coming here.

Blair Shepard

Excellent ambiance / decor / setting. Service appropriate and friendly . Food: good, but I found everything a tad too salty (perhaps catering too much to a tourist crowd?). 8/10

Shay M

Had the spicy sausage paella ! Absolutely amazing. The ham croquettes were really good as well

Joaquín Gamboa

Turrón ice cream - please don’t leave without trying it.

Rene Joergensen

We had tapas and paella , nice and no fancy stuff. Service was good. Overall a nice restaurant kinda average, as I did not pick the bill, price value is a difficult call :-)

Apartment Barcelona

For the best views of the Mediterranean paired with delicious paella...Pez Vela hits the spot! Be sure to get there early for a table with a view ... Read more

Jocelyn

We came there for the paella but were very disappointed. We paid €44 for paella for two and got barely nothing. 5 clamps en a few pieces of baby squid . The sangria was very good though.

Nilay Gandhi

excellent paella ! perfect size for two. great people watching + heat lamps outside.

Sara Hashim

Everything is AMAZING, the view the food the service ♥️

Dami Suerte

The restaurant is very cool , has a nice design , the menu is fine like the price (under w hotel ) but I think they must be better in the service and also for the paella nothing special and the poor

@mrsoaroundworld

Great beach restaurant by tragaluz. Book way in advance, especially in the summer weekends. Tapas from 4pm as kitchen closes for a few hours

J B

The squid and black rice paella is amazing. As are the potatoes . Super cute view too

Albara

Steak is great! Shrimp paella is good. Apple pie with ice-cream is delicious.

Mohammed

Good food , Great service.. Paella 👍 - steak - kalamari 👌🏽

Edward Colley

Great food - excellent octopus speciality and of course paella ; good views too😄

Katerina👑🔨💍 Ieromonachou

I am not really into paella but this one was fair enough. Spicy chorizo and shrimp paellas were the best.

Remo Malarik

Also a bit touristy . And you're paying more for the view than the food, but the paella here is also great.

Anastasia

Amazing view , lovely terrace , good paella . Service is below average. We had to remind our waiter every ten min what we’ve ordered.

Александър Тарр

Nice area,the fish is always good choice!Paella is too big for two people,but is very tasty.

Lama Mousa

everything was delicious and on point

Sara Fracasso

The best paella and service ever! Have to come back! 10+

Robert Mol

Clams are simply out of this world! Kids had the charcoal grilled chicken , very very good!

Sophy Proto

Just avoid this place. One of the typical examples where the how it looks like is so far from how service and food is. Every dish was bad. Unkind service. Overpriced for what it is.

Matteo Lombardi

Clams , croquets , Iberian ham , octopus , all amazing

Serhat Şen

Great view of the beach and the sea. Good fish and nice ambiance.

Belemir Cerrahoglu Kaya

Paellas are great, don’t miss the sunset
