Can Sole
Can Sole is one of Barcelona’s premier seafood and paella restaurants, dating back to 1903. Housed in a two-story building just off Passeig de Joan de Borbo near its corner, Can Sole has long been a family dining staple for generations past. Artists Joan Miro and Antoni Tapies made regular visits – their artwork adorning its sky-blue walls! Today, its portly waiters still charm moneyed locals with market-fresh dishes like tiny sweet clams, cabbage hearts stuffed with tuna, or its epic encyclopedia-sized zarzuela, which pays tribute to La Barceloneta’s fishing history with everything from whiting, shrimp galas, and bream!
Can Sole is one of the few restaurants in La Barceloneta that remains free from tourism’s tide. Here, you won’t find sea views, terraces, or touts outside this cozy tavern; rather, you will enjoy hearty plates of flavorful food prepared using classic recipes that never fail—prices may be slightly more costly, but well worth your while.
La Cova Fumada
There are few spots in Barcelona with such a friendly and inviting ambiance as this little tapas bar. Regulars have frequented it for generations, while some adventurous tourists also frequent it regularly to indulge in bite-sized tapas of every flavor. Delicious Spanish dishes are served up for lunch, and inexpensive wine or beer glasses help ease relaxation even further.
La Cova Fumada (“The Smoked Cave”) may look rough from the outside, with no indication that its interior hosts one of the city’s finest tapas bars. Inside are only a few tables and iron-grilled ancient windows meant for stacking crates – all clues that La Cova Fumada (The Smoked Cave) may offer tasty tapas fare.
The bar is relatively small and tends to fill quickly; unfortunately, they do not take reservations. Lines often form outside, waiting for tables. Once inside, however, guests can order dishes like grilled squid and cod, traditional Spanish tapas, and some fantastic desserts, such as their amazing churros or bunuelos, both of which come highly recommended!
Can Majo
Can Majo, one of Barceloneta’s oldest family-run restaurants, offers delicious seafood on its menu. Fresh, top-quality seafood pairs perfectly with rich paellas, ideas, and decadent homemade desserts in this cozy eatery that offers exquisite dining. Its cozy decor perfectly complements this experience in deliciousness.
Here, you’ll find exquisite shellfish dishes such as oysters, Galician clams, whelks, and other delectable mollusks. But the main attraction here is paella: packed with juicy prawns, mussels, and tender strips of tender squid with its trademark golden, almost burnt crust that marks out truly great paellas.
Can Majo stands out from other restaurants by its meticulous attention to detail and is widely considered one of the best spots in Barcelona for seafood dining. Enjoy sitting inside its exquisite white and cornflower dining room or out on its tranquil terrace overlooking the Mediterranean – either way; it should definitely be on your visit list.
