Red Fish — Restaurant in Barcelona

Hard to find restaurant BETTER LEFT UNFOUND!!!! All I wanted on my first night in Barca was some fresh seafood by the beach. And this place somehow made it onto a Condé Nast list of best restaurants in Barcelona. The food and experience will forever make me question Anything I read in Condé Nast.

First red flag was that no one else was eating here, would have run but I was tired and hungry. It took at least 10 minutes before menus were brought and I had to ask for water. Female waitress became extremely frustrated with me because I asked for an explanation of some of the dishes! Mind you there is no one else eating, not like she was busy..

The worst part was the extremely overpriced, worst preparation and smallest prawns I had ever seen. There was no meat, basically it was fried shells. I have never sent a dish back but I could not accept that this was what they were trying to pass off as prawns. I’ve lived on numerous coasts and shrimp/prawns are a stable in my diet. They charged me anyway and I was too tired to argue. They also charged 4 euros for water!!! The burrata I got was ok, but I had really never had it before so nothing to compare it to. But it wasn’t worth the 15 euros they charged.

Lesson learned, don’t rely on one source Condé Nast for recommendations. I should have taken the time to read some of the awful reviews...

I recently hosted my post-wedding brunch at Redfish and cannot thank Iciar, Sandra and Gonzalo enough for making it such a wonderful experience. From the very first message, the team were incredibly helpful and organised, making the whole process seamless. My guests absolutely loved the venue, the food, and the drinks. A special mention to Gonzalo, who went out of his way to arrange a birthday cake for one of my friends which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, Redfish is a fantastic venue with great event packages, but most importantly, a kind and professional team who go above and beyond to make your day truly special. Thank you, Iciar, Sandra, Gonzalo and the whole...

En un rincón privilegiado frente al mar, este restaurante ofrece una experiencia que combina gastronomía y ambiente relajado. El espacio destaca por una decoración cuidada, donde los techos con elementos de fibras naturales y la iluminación cálida crean un entorno acogedor que invita a disfrutar sin prisas. La música suave de fondo y el suave murmullo del mar complementan perfectamente el ambiente, ideal tanto para una comida tranquila como para reuniones en buena compañía.

La atención del personal fue destacable, siempre amables y atentos, asegurándose de que cada detalle de la experiencia estuviera a la altura. En cuanto a la comida, las opciones de la carta equilibran tradición y frescura. Se comenzaron con unas gildas que sorprendieron por su presentación y el equilibrio entre los sabores salados y ácidos, gracias a las aceitunas de calidad y los encurtidos perfectamente marinados. A continuación, se sirvió un plato de jamón cortado fino y dispuesto con esmero, cuyo sabor y textura confirmaron la calidad del producto.

El menú ofrece una variedad interesante, desde carnes a la brasa como el solomillo, hasta opciones de pescado fresco y arroces que capturan el espíritu mediterráneo. Los precios son adecuados considerando la calidad de los ingredientes y la ubicación privilegiada. Además, los postres como la tarta de queso o el tiramisú invitan a cerrar la experiencia con un dulce toque.

La única recomendación sería un ligero ajuste en los tiempos de servicio, especialmente en horas punta, para mantener el flujo constante entre los platos. Sin embargo, el ambiente y la calidad compensan cualquier pequeña espera.
