Not the cheapest place, but the food was really great and worth the money. Paella is amazing! And the stuff's fun and made us a compliment of postres and grappa at the end :)

Marcos Placona

Super touristy place but with great food for the location. I had the paella and a mixed salad and it was yummy. The service is not great but acceptable. Gets busy at lunch , so get a table early.

A Forsqu

Had lunch an asked for the menu of the day (2 course, dessert and drink for 12€). Really local feel to the restaurant all in all. Warning, eating at the terrace is for tourists -higher prices

Robert Carbuccia

The hustle is real. Great Paella is great but when you get the bill, be ready. You will pay for the “free bread and the free tap water ”.

Nancy Andrade

Variety of dishes. We order chicken and a vegetarian paella and both were fulfilling and delicious. Great for groups , but try to make a reservation . They give tiny dessert on the house.

Magnus Jern

Nice mix of locals and tourists with great food and vibrant atmosphere. Be aware that they are very good at selling you more than you want. Food quality is great!

Alex Ramirez

Yes, it's a tourists place, but it's also a very fine option for a paella near the beach even if you're a local. Worth visiting, even if the price (due to the area and location) is a bit high.

johnlemon

Paella was quite good, with a lot of fresh fish . Good value .

Jan Suda

This is the best restaurant in Barcelona. Go here in the evening and have Paela with Lobster .

Max Ambrozy

Classic resto at Barceloneta - prices rather high but offering good quality food: go for the Plato Olimpiades (mixed seafood for 2), we had it 3 of us and could not finish it

The Telegraph

Day one - 8.30pm: Salamanca (0034 93 221 50; gruposilvestre.com) is a boisterous, sprawling classic, with a seafront terrace and prices that are better than most (mains starting from around £11).

Jenny Eishingdrelo

They give you pan con tomate as an appetizer without asking and say it's "on the house", but they charge you 3.90 for it. Don't touch it and give it back unless you want it.

Den K

Very tasty seafood paella , nice variety of wines , kind service , liqueurs and dessert on the house after the meal, view at the sea.

Tjip Telman

It was very nice, the toilet is not very clean and no wifi , but if you like good paella with seafood , than this is a good bet. The hams on the cealing are a nice decoration wich makes it a nice place

Song Li

The seafood rice is good, but overall I would say it’s a little overpriced, plus this is the ONLY restaurant with waiter asking for tips in the Entire Europe ever for me. A bit minus

Milena

Great place if you are looking for seafood and paella (home style in a good way), big portions and nice service!

Elena Efimona

They serve bread without asking you and they don’t say that it’s 2 euros per person

Andre Rauch

When in Barceloneta check out Restaurante Salamanca and try its famous paella . You won´t be disappointed.

Maha

The best paella eveeeer, the sea food is very fresh, very friendly waiters ! Must visit

Ruslan Bes

Huge dislike for waiters putting non-free olives and bread on the table. Though awesome paella (€16-30) and good sangria .

Amy van de AK

Well , we loved it...! We had several dishes, and it was pretty fine. Our waiter Fidel was fantastic - thank you!

Oscar Trelles

Pretty touristy because if the area, but the food is actually very good. The seafood paella was great and the service did not disappoint.

Tdd Tdd

Good location by the sea, but paella overestimated in relation of the reputation. Paella came in less then 10 minutes it sounded and tasted as a warmed up plate. Not recommendable, very touristic . ????

Ирина Головач

Great restaurant with real Spanish cuisine ! Boiled octopus with boiled potatoes is great! Also excellent squid and company set Salamanca!

Moritz Kröger

Great Paella Restaurant . Outstanding service and fantastic food.

James Parton

Get the seafood platter inc the lobster to share between two. Amazing if you like your seafood straight up!

Goran Vrabec

We tried seafood paella and it was really good. Best thing is service - really fast and punctual.

Essa Al-Sheikh

paella was good but not the best in town , great location ????????

Aaron Sami

Sat outside, it was very busy but service was great. The paella has to be ordered with a minimum of two so can get expensive quickly

Diana Angelova

Paella and prawns ! Very delicious, super nice view

Freddos Freddos

Fantastic, quality fish restaurant . I strongly recommend the "special paella " with a bottle of white wine (albariño ). Helpful service , as well

Ali Al-Hamidah

Big portions .. Fried calamari is good and the paella was delicious but little salty

Wendell C

Hundreds of tables, the service is muy rápido. Full of seafood options and best for paella ????.

Juanjo Mart�s

There is a daily cheaper menu at 10€/pax they don't show to foreign guests. Regular menu id around 50€/pax at least. Ask for the day menu at entrance.

bilal ercan

An otantik seafood restaurant . Shrimps ,seabass ,crab ,lobster , turbot delicious.too much chances.Service average but fast.vine menu is not satisfactory.prices tolerable for a seafood restaurant .

Princess Consuela Bananahamic

We had daily menu , it was OK - the fish soup a bit too salty, my main food - fish - was cold. The cuttlery was dirty . Service was ok, could be nicer. Next time I would try some other place instead.

The Ceo

Excellent food tasty alroz negro . Great service too

Ina Hillevi

Brilliant paella , family feeling service, felt like at big family celebration :)

Yera Ha

The paella was fantastic, the service excellent, and the view unbeatable.

MobilAdam -

Paella and sangria .. And crema catalana ..

Lixian Wang

The paelle is too salty, not delicious. Lobster paelle comes with one person portion. The rest paelle is 2 person minimum. Bread is charged around 1 euro.

Ji Ann Ng

So Time Out and Guardian was raving about this place. Personally, the atmosphere was great by the beach , but the paella was too oily and it didn't taste as great as La Fonda.

Flora Cheng

Seafood paella is very salty. Meal came with a complimentary yellow cake dessert .

Firas Safiyeddeen

we got a fried worm in the fried xipirons plate, the paella is jus edible. flavourless, unevenly cooked and topped with old shrimps . overpriced bad tourist trap. the paellas are 18-23 euros per person

Shy Cardoso

Just Amazing!! 2 person and we left nothing. Really recommend.

Germán Inostroza

Still is a great place to go in Barceloneta but I must say is Number 2. With a delicious SeaFood too

Koroosh Biria

They give us good suggestions and we enjoyed our meal there.

Pedro Piñera Buendia

You should try the paella here. It's very delicious!

Silvia Capelli

Very tasty seafood paella , high quality of food, just in front of the beach . They bring to you bread with ham as starter and dessert (little pieces of cake ) for free and the price is reasonable.

It is a stunning piece of architecture. 2 hours is a good amount of time to anticipate if you want to enjoy it at a good pace. Get your tickets online the day before & add the tower as well. Worth it! - Josh Nelson
