El Barraca is a restaurant serving rice dishes of a lifetime, but with a modern and gourmet cuisine, where you can find about five very refined rice specialties: excellent black cod rice and saffron aioli and the classic seafood pan with squid and shrimp stand out. To start with, classic Barceloneta starters: croquettes, cod fritters, and good shells. They also have meat, fish, and vegan options. The views of the sea and the Paseo Marítimo are stunning, and most of the products used are ecological and local, the philosophy of the house.
