The 12 best spots for pho in Barcelona (2024)

Very nice and spacious restaurant. It’s very comfortable to sit there even with bigger groups. We had a team event there with 20 people and everything was perfectly organized by the staff. Food and wine was delicious, especially of course the signature dish: Paella. Freshly cooked and with many varieties to choose from, everybody will find something for their liking. It was a very nice evening and I can recommend it, although it’s a bit touristy.

What a great experience to have a paella! The place itself is beautiful and you can also get the excitement to see how are they cooking all the paellas since the kitchen is kept as an open space. We ordered a few starters to share which did not disappoint and 2 different paellas between 5 of us following advice from the very friendly staff. The live dessert menu was definitely a surprise and although we were feeling quite full, it did the trick and we decided to try some of them which were a a gift to the taste buds. There's no public transport close by but the walk along the seafront to get there was well worth it!

Our first and one of the finest dinner we’ve had in Barcelona!We ordered the degustation and the portion size was more than enough for the two of us.All the dishes were extraordinary and most certainly the seafood paella was at top of the list.The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a delightful time😊

Paella was delicious and the selection remained authentic. Overall highly recommend the black Paella and was upset that we didn’t have time to try the Catalan sausage paella. The service overall is attentive and welcoming, happy to answer any questions regarding food and co*cktails. Highly recommend Mana 75, we went twice during our 6 night stay in Barcelona.

Delicious food, excellent service, overall great experience!We ordered the seafood paella, it was 2 of us and we finished the entire pan. For dessert we shared a carrot cake. To drink, I had the Cava Sangria which was lovely!We were lucky to get a reservation for dinner the day of, either way, I highly recommend reservations for dinner.

If you like paella then this is a must visit when you are in Barcelona. The menu provides a number of options and has an assortment of set courses. I ordered Seafood Paella as main course and Croquettes for starters - they were delicious! Special shout out to Karoline (hostess) and Larisa (waitress) both of whom were extremely attentive and helpful!

This restaurant has a lovely setting just off the Barcelona Beach the food was delicious served within a reasonable time drinks stop on. Booking is recommended. we shared the seafood paella which was cooked to perfection and also the sharing steak which was absolutely gorgeous. Definitely recommend

Incredible restaurant. Delicious paella, calamares a la andaluza, pescadito frito... We loved it. The portions are really good too.The desserts were also really tasty. We tried the Crema Catalana mousse and the coulant with ice cream. Perfect!The design and the vibe are awesome. Full of light and good energy.We will come back soon.

This restaurant was beyond fantastic from the food to the service! Danny was our server and I really wish we had grabbed the name of the person helping (working on Sunday at lunch around opening) he was equally as great! This was our first visit to Barcelona and we wanted to try all the local food, Danny helped walk us through and made recommendations. The food was truly great as well, loved everything thing we ate! We'll be recommending them to anyone we know who visits, if you're looking for a great experience this is the place!!

Loved the decor, presentation of food, and waiters. We got tomato bread, razor clams, salad, seafood paella, and cheesecake. Everything was delicious. My favorites were actually the bread and clams!!!! Best clams I have ever had. For drinks we had red wine, Moscow mule, and old fashion. Drinks were delicious. All that for around 100 euros

Had a wonderful meal at Manà 75°! The owner of the restaurant met us and seated us. A wonderful man!! Pavel (Pablo 😉😉) is a sweetheart!! He showed us their paella cooking method/tools and explained how the restaurant name came about, ask about it, it's a cool little story.We hit it off because his son is living/working in a city close to ours in Canada. He bought a drink each at the end of our meal and help get us back to our hotel when we had a problem with a cab. Again, Pavel is a beautiful person and we very highly recommend eating at his establishment.Pavel, we will be back for sure!! We miss you and your hospitality already!!!Antimo, Linda, Luca e Sofia

I was late for my reservation but they let me have a table that was not occupied. That was nice. Great area near beach and nice atmosphere. Decorations are great, toilets clean. Service was good, not that attentive since it was busy 7pm. They specialize in paella and I read good reviews. Ordered the mussels and clams starter and spicy potato’s. Potato’s are nicely done, but the clam mussels broth was too salty. Seafood was fresh at least, good portion of mussels and clams. Usually I would soak the broth with bread which was not provided and it was too salty anyway. For the main course we had a seafood paella for two. Size was decent. Fragrant and with seafood aroma. Rice well cooked in the style of paella with a slight crispy base. The salt was way toooo much and we could only finish half. We took the rest home and I will add some plain rice to it. Shame.!!! I hope this is a one off and paella is not always so salty or there will be some serious health problems. They took off a beer and water from my bill when I mentioned this. Overall meal about 70 euros. Not sure I am willing to recommend this place. Will try paella in Granada and Seville to compare.

For our group of 4 adults and 5 children we have ordered some starters and 2 paella for 3. It was enough to feed all the hungry tummies.Deserts were delicious, my personal preference was the mango desert.You need to book in advance for this restaurant, there is no walk in option.Classic Sangria was big enough and very good.

Spent our last day in Barcelona here and it was a great way to close out our trip. Beautiful decor, delicious food and drinks, and excellent customer service. Highly recommend.

We had the Illusion set menu for lunch and chose Paellas as mains. They are so flavoursome, cooked to perfection with slight crispy bits at the bottom!The appetisers were superb too! Enjoyed the mussel casserole especially and the waiter gave us a basket of bread to sop the gravy up.The desserts were to die for! Instead of a menu, the waiter presented us the dessert platter with desserts to choose from! I recommend the Catalan classic chocolate with olive oil and salt. Simple and sublime.Enjoy!

Great food with amazing muscles as a starter. The staff were super friendly and the paella was extremely tasty. Delicious dessert options presented in a lovely way. We will definitely be coming back here.

The host was very friendly, the food was very good and delicious together with the dessert at the end. The restaurant has a very nice vibe also, but the only inconvenience was that we ordered one menu and they brought two which kind of ruined the experience. Other than that the service was good

We arrived early for our reservation but they were able to seat us promptly. The hostess helped us select a bottle of wine we very much enjoyed. My husband had the Mediterranean mussels and I had the Bomba de La Barceloneta. We both enjoyed the appetizers.We asked the waiter to help us decide between the artichoke/squid and octopus paella. I have a very strong negative to hard shell seafood (clams, scallops, mussels, etc) and shared that with the waiter. He suggested the octopus was better.A beautiful dish arrived but after one bite I was very concerned. I suspected the broth used to make the rice may be a problem. After speaking with two representatives, they noted the broth should be shrimp & lobster based but it was possible there was cross contamination. They offered me a substitute entree but I declined.The staff was very apologetic and super nice. They definitely wanted me to have a good experience. My husband very much enjoyed his paella, eating as much as he could ☺️.To my surprise, the restaurant elected not to charge us for the paella, even though there was a per person price. While I elected not to risk eating it, my husband certainly enjoyed a full portion!I am very grateful for the restaurant’s approach and I certainly enjoyed what I did eat. And as noted, the paella was very much enjoyed by my husband.I would absolutely return and would highly recommend Mana 75 to anyone!

A must-visit for anyone in Barcelona seeking the true essence of paella. Great for a night out, and even better for a leisurely stroll on the beach walk alley afterward.LOCATION. The location is simply excellent. Nestled next to the scenic beach walk alley, this renowned paella restaurant boasts around 20 stations where chefs masterfully prepare the dish. Whether you choose to dine indoors or relish the sea breeze on the outdoor terrace, the ambiance is enchanting.SERVICE. The staff here are exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Truly super service!FOOD. The culinary options are diverse, offering an array of paella types. The flavors are authentic and rich, making it a memorable meal.PRICE. The pricing is excellent for the quality and experience you receive.

Amazing paella, haven’t had a better one in Barcelona. The owner and team were very attentive and the service was great - especially since there were 13 of us for a birthday! We were grateful for the house shots of Bailey’s and tequila for the birthday boy 😂 an overall great experience and will be doing it again!

Very lovely atmosphere and decor as the ceiling is embellished with fabrics reminiscent of North Africa and Andalusia. They also have many options in the menu and the price isn’t too bad either. On the negative sides: the service is a bit slow and the paella for two is rather small - I must say I was still hungry after finishing it.

It was a very good experience in this restaurant. For for Catalan cuisine.. We enjoy eat paella. with other dishes, they have very good menu . The sweet and drink very good the restaurant. It’s very nice. It’s big in a good location. Good service the quality of the food is perfect. it’s one of the best places to eat in Barcelona Spanish cuisine . Recommended this place to visit try perfect Spanish dishes

There were 12 of us out for this meal.And we all had paella as our main, so we all paied up and shared 6 peallas.Me and my paella buddy went for the meat one which consisted of catalán black sausage and chunks of pork for €20.50 each.It was a nice paella...the sausage was flavoursome, and the pieces of pork were tender and soft.There were also wild mushrooms in there, which added a tasty richness to the dish.Seen as 4 others in our group went for the same dish, they brought over a mega 6 person paella! It was huge!But I'm gonna only give it 4 stars, though, as I thought there could have been a bit more meat and it was a bit pricey...plus I've had better paellas in Spain in the past for a lot cheaper.It's definitely worth a visit though, as the food is nice and the staff are very attentive and friendly. :)

We tried some authentic flavors at this fancy restaurant in Barceloneta. From tasty paella to fresh calamari, every dish hit the spot. Washed it down with some chilled sangria for the perfect dining experience! A bit pricey. Went here last year, but forgot to leave a review.

One of our favorite restaurants in Barcelona! The paellas are excellent and really authentic but our absolute favourite is the Mango salad! We came to this restaurant already 4 times and we will continue to choose it for lovely date nights!

A fancy place with nice decors.Walking distance from the marinasTried the seafood paella and was the best. Mango flan is yum.Staff were so attentive.Kudos to Jordan.He was very nice.

Everything that we ordered looked fancy. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. However, the service was a little off. We had to wait for the waitresses a lot and also they took our food before we managed to finish it.

top ratingService was excellent from greeting to our waiters.Food was great. Price is definitely reasonable.I will recommend all my friends to try Mana 75 if they are in Barcelona

Fancy restaurant with perfectly organized staff. We opted for the 3-course menu and loved it. As a starter you choose from a selection of several tappas. For the main course, the paella is highly recommended, which is also the restaurant's flagship dish and rightly so.The menu was rounded off with a very tasty selection of desserts. The mango dessert is one of the best desserts I have ever eaten in my life. A great evening in a highly recommended restaurant.

The best paella in Barcelona. It is located in La Barceloneta. They use only fresh and high-quality products. The service is impeccable. Relaxing and cheerful atmosphere. They have vegan Paella, too. Highly recommended.

Amazing paella, ridiculous burratta. Our waiter was so helpful and nice. He’s correct. The best ham croquettes we’ve had in this trip.

Lovely staff and atmosphere, the starters were okay though for the price very adequate, we had the chicken croquets and crumbed squid which I assume were frozen or not fresh. As Aussie sea lovers and having paella in other parts of Barcelona, the seafood paella was extremely fishy in a bad way as in not fresh, we tried our hardest to like it given we booked months in advance and were excited for to indulge for lunch, however the seafood paella was so salty it hurt to each, very very fishy tasting, and prawns tiny, overcooked and not fresh. Deserts were very nice. Apologies if we just had a bad batch but 45 euros per person we expected top notch. I tried to tell the waiter but she didn’t understand much English which is completely understandable.

Great ambiance and location. Staff is very accomodating and even if you're not fluent in Spanish or Catalan you will no problem communicating. The signature dish is obviously the paella, which you have to try if you visit here. I highly recommend it. Very affordable menu.

Overpriced considering you can get better authentic Spanish dishes from local businesses for half the price. Service was efficient however having our order taken or bill delivered was tedious and took around 15+ minutes. Paella portions were good however rice was burnt at the bottom of the pan and the seafood portions were rather small for €45+ euros (2 persons) the calamari batter tasted slightly off and wasn’t very enjoyable. The highlight of my meal was the spicy potatoes and sangria. Overall good for a small bite however I’d look at other nearby options for a dinner.

Lovely place, nice energy and a perfect place to spend with visiting family. However, as a local I must admit that the place is a bit of a tourist trap. The paella was a bit too salty, however the rice was made very well. The croquettes were average at best, the fried calamari was sandy at taste, and the fried fish was decent. Overall, if you look for a nice place to spend hundreds of euros, go for it. But if you really want to enjoy quality food and tasty arroz (seafood paella), find another place. There are plenty of other places to choose from. I don’t believe that the rating is correct. Based on the food, I will give a 3.2 out of 5, service 4 out of 5 (too artificial American style service), atmosphere 4 out of 5. The only desert I liked was the mango one, the rest were disappointing. Again, this is a 100% wealthy tourist place that lacks the love to prepare the food that will make you smile when tasting.[Later edit]: I was called by the venue manager inquiring about the rating. She seemed very interested on the reasons I have given this rating. I have explained why and she said it will take it and improve the situation. Thanks for your patience to understand my concerns and for the kindness of handling my feedback in a very customer oriented approach.
