One of the things that first surprises everyone who visits Carballeira is the display at the entrance. Few other places in Barcelona offer such a wide selection of seafood with large and colourful pieces.

Wild fish from the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean, sea urchins in season, the curious ortiguillas, exquisite spider crabs and authentic Galician barnacles. Oysters, crayfish and lobsters are displayed daily in our showcase to awaken the most exquisite senses.

With a carefully decorated seafaring décor, the Restaurant maintains the essence of its beginnings and today offers a wide range of Mediterranean cuisine. Entering Carballeira evokes the interior of a ship: its lamps, wooden walls, portholes that communicate between the rooms and other pieces of boats used in its decoration transport the senses to an authentic seafaring atmosphere.

The kitchen is kept in full view of the customer, as it has always been. This is how our customers like to see how they weigh and prepare their dish with the same fresh product displayed in the showcase.

For all these reasons, it is an obligatory stop for those who visit the city for tourism or business and want to enjoy excellent quality fish and seafood, delicious rice dishes: with lobster, black or “a banda”, the most popular. Succulent dishes of monkfish, turbot or hake prepared grilled, Ondárroa, seafood or baked. Everything to suit the customer’s taste. And for the more carnivorous, a good ox steak or veal entrecôte.

For lovers of good Spanish cuisine, they have the best traditional stews and homemade desserts.
