Barcelona is Mediterranean food, as Barcelona is a Mediterranean coastal city, this section will give a list of the best restaurants in Barcelona in my humble opinion where you can taste the best cuisine in the city and for all the pockets.
Seafood restaurants in Barcelona
The Good restaurants to enjoy seafood in Barcelona tend to have relatively high prices because their products tend to be fresh and of high quality, there are cheaper restaurants to enjoy seafood in Barcelona but its quality is low to the two restaurants that I offer below .
Barceloneta Restaurant
For me one of the best restaurants to taste some great seafood and excellent paellas, is located in the district of Barceloneta, Barceloneta was once a fishing village, is now a popular tourist area right next to the beach and harbor the restaurant is at the end of the main avenue overlooking the old port of Barcelona, their prices are at around 50-60 € per person up.
Another good restaurants in Barcelona to enjoy good seafood is the botafumeiro restaurant , located in the quarter of Gracia, the Gracia quarter was once an independent town of Barcelona until the end of the eighteenth century, when they built the famous Paseo de Gracia was formerly a road that went from Barcelona to the people of Gracia, Botafumeiro was founded in 1975 and is currently considered one of the best restaurants to enjoy seafood in town, their prices are similar to the Barceloneta restaurant around 50-60 € per person up.
Seafood restaurants with cheaper prices
As I said before quality pays and of course the two restaurants mentioned are of the highest quality in Barcelona to enjoy seafood, but there are restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood at lower prices, in the quarter of Barceloneta in the main avenue find cheaper and many restaurants even when the food usually make special menus at a fixed price menus ranging between 14 and 16 € per person where they can choose between different menus, usually having 4 or 5 courses of first, 4 or 5 main course, dessert and drink, these menus are only available economic to lunch, to dinner is not usually offer such menus but there are some restaurants that if the offer but with higher prices .
