Maxi — Restaurant in Barcelona

My experience at this restaurant was highly disappointing and suspicious. On Sunday, 11/05, I visited with friends and accidentally left my sunglasses on the table. About 10 minutes later, I realized I forgot them and my friend called the restaurant. They claimed they hadn’t found anything. I decided to go back myself to check. When I arrived, the restaurant was about to close, and staff were cleaning and preparing for closing. I approached the waiter girl who served us, and she confirmed she was the one serving and cleaning the table after us, and insisted she didn’t see the sunglasses. I was 100% sure I left them on the table and pressed for help. They asked everyone working, if they found some sunglasses, and all just shrugged it off and said no. I felt something was off!!! I told them I would call the police and write an official complaint if they didn’t help me to find them. The senior waiter is was talking to after, said she would refuse to give me a complaint form, as my losing my sunglasses has nothing to do with the restaurant. I told her to explain this to the police. Fortunately, she then offered to call her boss to check the cameras. While she was on the phone, the older man working there suddenly appeared from outside. and pointed behind the bar where my sunglasses sat between plats. It’s odd that the person who actually waited on us and said she cleaned the table didn’t notice them, yet he, who was nowhere near our table comes out of the blue and has found them!!!???

It’s also suspicious that none of the other staff seemed to know anything about the sunglasses. Wouldn’t you tell your co workers that you found something on table for, just in case the customer comes back looking for them?!

The girl who made the call to check the cameras looked very surprised when she took the glasses and handed them to me.

The older man’s aggressive and threatening behavior — pointing his finger at me and warning me to be careful calling the police and it was my fault in the first place for forgetting them in their restaurant — was completely unprofessional and trying to intimidating me. Overall, the handling of this situation was shady and untrustworthy, leaving a very negative impression of the establishment. I recommend caution when dealing with this restaurant and hope they improve their staff training and...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unbelievable €63 Seafood Platter – Barcelona’s Hidden Gem!

If you’re in Barcelona and love seafood, this spot is a must-visit. We ordered the full portion seafood platter for €63, and it was absolutely epic. The tray came piled high with king prawns, langoustines, razor clams, mussels, clams, shrimp, and more—all incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. Each bite was bursting with flavor, seasoned beautifully with garlic, herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil that brought everything together.

This isn’t just food—it’s a seafood experience. The portion was massive—easily enough to satisfy three very hungry people or four if you’re pacing yourself. Everything tasted like it came straight from the sea that morning.

The atmosphere was relaxed and local, not touristy at all. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and the service was fast and smooth even with a full house.

For €63, the quality and quantity you get is unbelievable. It’s easily one of the best seafood meals I’ve ever had, and the kind of place you’ll want to come back to every time you’re in the city.

Five stars. No hesitation. This is the real deal—fresh, flavorful, and...

Menuda decepción. Fuimos porque tiene mucha fama. Primero de todo hay que decir que la atención es más que correcta. El local en si es ruidoso, se llena con facilidad. Tiene terraza fuera para comer cenar, con pérgola. El servicio es rápido y correcto

La decepción vino con el pulpo. Décadas comiendo pulpo y quizás haya sido el peor que haya comido. Ya en la foto se puede apreciar el aspecto de recocido, con las ventosas muy muy hinchadas y lo peor de todo, es que por el precio no se debería servir un plato así. 30€ la media razón (que por otra parte, hay que decir que son generosas), 22€ un cuarto de ración y no había posibilidad de pedir ración entera. Aparte que es engañosa la foto, pulpo es el que hay en la foto, debajo son todo cachelos, una vieja táctica muy socorrida por los establecimientos. Sobra decir que el pulpo no sabía a nada, una lástima.

Para poneros en contexto, en otro restaurante gallego que es el más caro de toda Barcelona, una ración de pulpo (de cantidad bastante similar a la de aquí) cuesta 26€, y repito es el gallego más caro de toda Barcelona (y con más caché). Allí encontrarás buen pulpo, mucho mejor que aquí. Por primera vez en mi vida quedó un plato de pulpo sin terminar. Otro detalle es que el pulpo viene en platos en lugar de venir en la tabla redonda de madera.

La demás comida estaba bastante bien, en cantidades generosas pero con precios realmente excesivos. En cualquier gallego standard de Barcelona los precios son significativamente más baratos .Al terminar invitan a chupitos.

No se si fue algo puntual, pero yo por mi parte no tengo ganas de repetir a ver si fue algo de aquel día o es la calidad standard, o si repitiera, está claro que no...
