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 .
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 🍷
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.
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.
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.
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.
One of the best paellas in BCN, with great views of the beach . And the clams are a must.
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 .
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. 😎
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!
We been here in late hours when the kitchen already closed.. They have good drinks and free wifi
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.
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.
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...
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.
Good paella ( classic paella with prawn only ). Their ice cream is 👍👍 ( nougat ice cream )
Arugula salad is good, and one of the best Riesling wines I ever had. Great views of Barcelona landscape
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
Best seafood paella I've ever had! Enjoy it with a new world sauvignon from their selection.
Delicious paella , nice service, great views .
Everything! Paella , fish , burger , tapas . Whatever you take, brilliant. Good wine as well . Worth coming here.
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
Had the spicy sausage paella ! Absolutely amazing. The ham croquettes were really good as well
Turrón ice cream - please don’t leave without trying it.
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 :-)
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
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.
excellent paella ! perfect size for two. great people watching + heat lamps outside.
Everything is AMAZING, the view the food the service ♥️
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
Great beach restaurant by tragaluz. Book way in advance, especially in the summer weekends. Tapas from 4pm as kitchen closes for a few hours
The squid and black rice paella is amazing. As are the potatoes . Super cute view too
Steak is great! Shrimp paella is good. Apple pie with ice-cream is delicious.
Good food , Great service.. Paella 👍 - steak - kalamari 👌🏽
Great food - excellent octopus speciality and of course paella ; good views too😄
I am not really into paella but this one was fair enough. Spicy chorizo and shrimp paellas were the best.
Also a bit touristy . And you're paying more for the view than the food, but the paella here is also great.
Amazing view , lovely terrace , good paella . Service is below average. We had to remind our waiter every ten min what we’ve ordered.
Nice area,the fish is always good choice!Paella is too big for two people,but is very tasty.
everything was delicious and on point
The best paella and service ever! Have to come back! 10+
Clams are simply out of this world! Kids had the charcoal grilled chicken , very very good!
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.
Clams , croquets , Iberian ham , octopus , all amazing
Great view of the beach and the sea. Good fish and nice ambiance.
Paellas are great, don’t miss the sunset
delicious paella but be careful when ordering- the portions are huge!
The seafood paella was really good!
Deli shop with tables to eat all day round. Very good design, really tasty food. Also good just to have a drink and scape from the crowds in Passeig de Gracia. - Mar Gonzalez
Go for the €9 Euro 3 course set lunch which includes a carafe of wine. Great bargain - RTWgirl Arnette
This is a insider tip. Wonderful food, inexpensive prizes, authentic, friendly staff. Fir lunch and dinner. Reservation recommended. - Reiner
This is a very touristic beach, besides the crowds, you have a beautiful beach very close to the old town with many facilities. - Lana Mayra
Everything fresh and limes and lemons squeezed on the spot... Great drinks! - George Bagos
Awesome beach, very quiet and peaceful compared to further down near Barceloneta. Great food and drink selections near-by with the W Hotel and the Boardwalk! - Truman W.
