🇪🇸 Calling This One of Barcelona's Best Restaurants? I Stand By It!

📍 Arume Restaurant Carrer d'En Botella, 11, 13, 08001 Barcelona If you think paella is Barcelona's only star rice dish, let me introduce you to Arume's showstopping duck rice—a rich, sticky, umami bomb that'll make you question why you ever settled for mediocre seafood rice. (Yes, it's slightly salty, but that's part of its addictive charm.) 🔥 Why This Hidden Gem Deserves the Hype DUCK RICE = LEGENDARY 🦆🍚: Imagine tender confit duck folded into creamy, saffron-kissed bomba rice with a crispy socarrat bottom. Chef's kiss. Zero Misses Menu: From grilled squid with black garlic aioli to cod pil-pil that melts like butter, every dish sings. Raspberry Mojito 🍹: The unexpected MVP—tart, herbal, and dangerously refreshing. 🌿 Vibe Check Tucked in El Raval, Arume feels like a coastal Galician tavern—warm lighting, bustling open kitchen, and not a single tourist trap vibe. The team treats you like family (if your family were Michelin-trained chefs). ⚠️ Pro Tips Book ahead—it's tiny and always packed with locals. Order the "Arume Experience" tasting menu (€45) for a greatest-hits tour. Pair everything with Albariño wine—it cuts through the richness perfectly. Rating: 9/10 (Docking one point because I will dream about that mojito forever.) #BarcelonaEats #HiddenGem #DuckRiceObsessed #FoodieHeaven #NoPassportNeeded 🦆🔥
