Botafumeiro is a restaurant located right by the fish market, where it selects the best catches through auctions. The restaurant’s essence is rooted in the combination of fresh, high-quality seafood from the Cantabrian Sea and the Mediterranean, expertly cooked over open flames with just the right seasoning to bring out the full flavor of these exquisite products.
The menu is a celebration of the sea, offering signature dishes such as lobster Botafumeiro style, grilled Palamós prawns, and sumptuous seafood platters and stews. Their rice dishes include lobster caldoso rice, seafood paella, and black rice with baby squid. For those who enjoy meat, they offer delicious options like chuleton of Ternera Gallega D.O. or suckling lamb grilled to perfection. To finish off your meal, indulge in homemade desserts such as Tarta de Santiago or flambéed tatin.
Botafumeiro is a favorite among famous personalities, locals, and tourists alike, making it a must-visit destination for those looking to experience the best of Barcelona’s seafood dining.
