A bit of an overdue review.
Exceptional service! Quite an iconic and historical place with important figures and celebrities from numerous different countries, from world leaders to movie stars. You can see proof of all these notable guests with autographed photographs decorated along all the walls in the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant takes you back to a decadent era, with gold colored and themed decorations, making you feel like royalty. It is a big space, and can get loud. It's a great place to go to for birthdays-- a table was celebrating a birthday and the servers and other tables began singing and celebrating with a song. The food was great with a most definite focus on the seafood they had on display as you walk in. Presentation perhaps was a bit lacking with my fish, but that was compensated with their dessert presentation!! Overall a place you have to visit if you're in the area; it's simply an iconic establishment.

This is one of those restaurants that's historic and has a list of well known clientele (e.g. Juan Carlos). Thus, it's a bit of a tourist trap. Although the service was fine (but it does seem to help very much if you are fluent in Spanish), but the food was a rip off. Small portions and not cooked all that great with very high prices.

Los canelones de mariscos fuera de serie, comiendo con los ojos cerrados, no dando crédito de lo espectacular de cada platillo. El lugar hermoso, elegante y único.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic place in Barcelona.
Not in greatest area but from the minute you walk in you feel like you are at a high end restaurant. Wait staff in fancy suits, nice internal ambiance and smiles from everyone. Our waiter was very kind and spoke good English. My hake was excellent and wife's sea bass was exceptional. Friend had a sirloin that she loved. Nice wine list. Overall excellent!

This restaurant was recommended by the front desk of our hotel. We were not disappointed. We had the grilled octopus. Which was tender & absolutely delicious. We ordered 1/2 dozen oysters. They came with a red onion mignonette that totally complimented the briny bivalves. For dinner we all opted for the paella which was chock full of seafood. The paella rice was cooked perfectly. Dessert was a chocolate lava cake & a chocolate raspberry cake. Both were dense & decadent. Overall great fine dining experience.

OMG! Don't miss out on the best food we've had so far on on our trip. I had the tuna tartare and the sea bream. My husband had sardines and the t-bone. We just had one of the best meals we've ever had. The service, the food, the ambience, don't miss out.
Be the first to ReplyBotafumeiro is a place that I needed in my life.
Let me tell you when I knew the food was going to be ridiculous. It wasn't after I looked at the reviews, it wasn't when I looked at the beautiful exterior or interior of the restaurant. I knew the food was going to be insane when I saw a photo of Beyonce on the wall eating here. If the queen pulled up I know the food is stupendous. Staff was extremely friendly and everyone spoke English which made things a lot easier for me. I saw everyone raving about the Baked Crab so of course I had to snatch that up. Everything was fantastic but the things that stood out the most was the Crab Legs, Spiny Lobster, Baked Crab, and Octopus. Actually the Octopus was one of the most tender I've ever had in my life. It actually melts in your mouth, not much chewing needed at all. Botafumeiro is doing some really amazing things and I'm very happy to be able to get a reservation before I left Spain. I'll be back literally EVERY time I'm in Barcelona no question.
Be the first to ReplySadly, our least favorite dining experience in Barcelona.
Our waitress (section captain I believe she said?) was more interested in moving us along than providing a memorable evening. In fact, the least hospitable service of all our local dining. The decor is decidedly old-school with paneling, brass sconces, photos of visiting celebs, etc. so to be honest, you might be dining in any big city. Decent, but uninspired appetizers. (We love tomato bread, but had much better renditions elsewhere.) Still, you come for the seafood and yes, that platter delivered.
Be the first to ReplyGood seafood, but steep prices if you order food to share.
Wine recommendation was totally overpriced.
Be the first to ReplyTourist trap! Tourist trap ! Run.
We were recommended to this restaurant by our Hotel Majestic concierge. We arrived and were taken to the rear of the restaurant. This is definitely sea food restaurant with nautical themes throughout. We were asked if we wanted Apéritifs and said are these cocktails ? And we're told no. So when we went to order the starters we were told, nah I don't do the food, just drinks. So I asked again: "do you do cocktails?" and I was told no. We ordered the appetizers: shrimp, octopus and cod croquettes. Mind you all the plates were really good hence the 2 stars. We asked for an Albariño--and it was not carried. We were given a substitute. We then asked for a paella without mussels. The maitre'd agreed as all paellas are custom made. We advised that my daughter was allergic to mussels but really wanted a paella. As he walked away, I saw cocktails being delivered to the table next to mine. Hmmm. My daughter's paella arrived with the mussels. I-told her to take it away and she then proceeded to remove the mussels and return the plate and between that and the cocktails I lost it. I asked for the manager and another waitress came out. They returned the paella. My black ink paella had undercooked rice. Then the bill came. It was a shocker! Just stay away. It's a disappointment.
Be the first to ReplyBarcelona's great restaurants.
The foot is fantastic with a very good and attentive staff. Try the Lobster Salad. All of the seafood dishes were delicious. It is a bit on the pricey side but well worth it.
Be the first to ReplyThis has to rank in the top seafood restaurants worldwide.
Simply the sourcing of the raw materials is perfection, they truly honor the freshness and quality of the food they serve. We were in Barcelona only 2 nights but choose to eat here on both evenings. We could get enough and wanted to try everything on the menu. Lobster salad was the best I've had, simply grilled clams was simply amazing, crab fritters, fresh fish was amazing. Our waiter Jonathan made our experience so special, guiding us to the best wine, half orders of selections so we could try more.Amazing, there is a reason for rich history here.
Be the first to ReplyMy friend and I treated ourselves to a fancy lunch here
My friend and I treated ourselves to a fancy lunch here after a morning at Park Guell and it was sooo worth it. We shared the seafood platter for two and it was definitely too much food for the both of us. We had asked the waiter if it was enough food while we were ordering, and we're so thankful he did not pressure us to order more. At the end of the meal, they brought a platter of desserts for us to pick, but we were so full we could barely eat anything more.The interior of the restaurant is filled with pictures of famous people (politicians, celebrities etc) who have eaten here.If you're looking to splurge on an amazing seafood meal, this is definitely the place!

We should have known better that it's never a good sign when two different taxi drivers recommend a place. Food was overpriced and over sauced. The staff were nice enough. Definitely will not return nor recommend.

Fantastic is the only word I can use the describe our total experience. Mustafa was an excellent server. His expertise comes with over 20 years at Botafumeiro. We highly recommend the seafood paella and hake. Mustafa chose an excellent wine.

If you want to eat seafood in Barcelona, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE! I was surprised it was such a big restaurant. It was very popular(celebrities go there). The food was delicious and the service stellar. Definitely stopping by again on my next visit!
Be the first to ReplyWonderful food in a bustling atmosphere.
Our waiter took exceptional care of us and seemed genuinely happy to serve. This was our first trip to Barcelona and our first night out. What a lovely, fine dining experience.
Be the first to ReplyOld school, fancy ambiance, nice decor, formal vibe and all
Old school, fancy ambiance, nice decor, formal vibe and all that. Reading the other reviews my guess is this: build rapport with your server early. Also, don't be in a rush. We did both, had a great guide through the menu (i.e., our server), ended up ordering some great dishes, and they even made a thing or two off-menu to appease one of our pickier eaters.I'd come here any day for fine dining, fresh seafood, and what I think is a pretty authentic Spanish experience.
Be the first to ReplyThis was the worst fine dining experience I have ever had.
The food is okay but overpriced. The service was abysmal from the start. They barely acknowledged my family when we walked in, and never changed our plates unless we asked, and forgot to bring all of our orders. To clarify, we were eating food that had a lot of shells. They also haphazardly poured the wine and basically treated us as second class citizens. If you are a minority you know what I am talking about. They made mistakes on the bill which we had to sit through and rectify. Additionally, I asked them to call us a cab ahead of time. The waiter said no, there's plenty of cabs outside. After we finished the meal, we had to wait over 45 minutes to find a taxi to take us home. The manager informed us that our waiters were working at the restaurant for over a year. This man knew there were no taxis available and purposely ruined our evening. The manager said the people serving us are going to be fired the next day but let's see if that's true lol.
Be the first to ReplyA little touristy but always a great option.
Great paella and sangria. Crowded and loud but very pretty tables and atmosphere. Every time that I visit Barcelona, I visit this restaurant. Absolutely love it.

Let's start by saying I don't eat seafood so as son as I got in I said I'm in trouble but all I can say it's I was wrong. This place is super recommended so you expect to be good, the service was great you got 3/4 persons checking you all time I ordered a Dorada (fish) at it was very good but my wife's Paella was out of this world I don't eat seafood and I could not stop eating her plate!! So I definitely recommend this place classic ambiance but cool at the same time!!
Be the first to ReplyA traditional, old school restaurant in the BEST
A traditional, old school restaurant in the BEST way--elegant, professional and dedicated to great food and the best dining experience. Good food is everywhere in Barcelona, what elevates the experience is the service, thoughtful without being imposing, a dying art!The seafood is prepared and served impeccably, the crab salad in particular is excellent, the wines are well thought out and reasonable.Eat in the front room if you can. It's great people watching, both the theatrics of the kitchen and army of waiters and the crowds filing in endlessly. Seats at the bar seems to be held for regulars.
Be the first to ReplyWe celebrated my mom's milestone birthday there.
Everything was perfect. Delicious food ( had oysters, and two fish entrees, two different desserts)... service was exceptional ... perfect lace for special occasion! They even had live music.
Be the first to ReplyMy wife and I went to Botafumeiro for dinner on on
My wife and I went to Botafumeiro for dinner on on Christmas Day, our first night in Barcelona. We placed the reservation online approximately five weeks in advance and I'm glad we did because the place was completely packed.Botafumeiro is an older restaurant and it's decor is classic. However, some of the rooms are dated and could use some upgrades. The restaurant is gigantic - the main dining area is a big space in the middle of the restaurant, there are smaller individual rooms towards the back, and small two-seater tables along the wall by the entrance. The foot traffic was insane - waiters and busboys rushing by at a mile a minute. The front of the restaurant would have been an awful place to sit and I am grateful we were seated at smaller, quieter, more private dining room at the back.We researched the restaurant online weeks ahead of time and already knew what we were going to get - the cold seafood platter for two. We ended getting a bottle of wine as well. The platter was absolutely massive and would have been better suited for a group of three or four. The seafood was fresh and there was a ton of variety. I don't know how we did it but we ended up devouring every last morsel of food and still managed to have a bit of space left for dessert. The service was exceptional and our waiter was professional, friendly and attentive. We must have spent three hours there. It was an extremely fun night and one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've ever had. It was a great introduction to Barcelona.Botafumeiro is an iconic seafood restaurant. If you are lucky enough to find yourself in Barcelona, you have to check it out. Four stars.
