This is one of the best of Gaudi's designs with numerous sculptued pieces on the rooftop. It's one of the most visited places in Barcelona. Avoid the queues and book advance tickets at the Tourist Information. 16.50 euro's this year

Went for lunch around 1pm on Tuesday and was surprised there was ample space and no queues. Had a good selection of seafood, from fishes, crabs, clams, mussels, calamari, prawns - just to name a few. These seafood are all on display on a bed of ice. You select what you want and they cook it to your liking -... More

We read about La Paradeta on Gospain and found it to be amazing. When you enter you are faced with an array of fresh seafood. You select from this and pay by weight. The fish is then cooked for you while you sup on a wine, salad or bread. The fish comes out gradually giving you time to enjoy your... More

This was one of the best seafood meals in Barcelona. Located around the block from La Sagrada Familia, this restaurant is not fancy. you walk in and look at a presentation of fish, shellfish and crustaceans on a bed of ice. you pick out what you want, and they cook and call your number to pick it up at a...

Great place for the freshest fish and you pay just for that, no frippery! You go in, choose what you want from the counter and how you want it cooked, you ask for drinks, take a seat and then wait the kitchen to call your "mesa". When it's your turn, you collect your meal and then you got just to... More

Our group of four came to La Paradeta, twice in two consecutive days, at lunch time. The first time, we waited for it to open at 1300 pm, and was Table no. 1. On the second day, we were more relaxed and came at 1305 pm as table four. We love fresh seafood and this place lets you see and... More

It's a great place just around the corner from Sagrada Familia. Unlike most of the neighbouring restaurants with standard menus and high prices this restaurant is real gem. Simple but fresh and very tasty seafood cooked right here and right now. You point your finger at the crab/shrimps/squid/whatever they are called, pay depending on the weight (you can see the...

The fish is fresh and you get to choose exactly what you want. You choose the portion and each is better than the other. It is reasonably priced and the selections are good. If you love seafood and like variety this is the place for you. There is not much in the way of ambience and it is not a... More

This is such a fantastic idea. You get to eat the freshest of seafood, choose the way you want it cooked, and it gets prepared up with a no frills, wonderfully tasty, dining experience. You get to enjoy select seafood at a fraction of the cost, sharing in the dining experience with the rest of the restaurant. This is social... More

I love the idea of this restaurant. It is like a fish market but it is a reastaurant! You can choose from the various options of fresh seafood and they will give you the options of how you can have them cooked. While they cook your food you pay at the counter. When your food is ready they'll call your... More
