Barraca is a restaurant serving traditional rice dishes with a modern, gourmet twist, where you can find around five highly refined rice specialties: an excellent black cod rice with saffron aioli and the classic seafood dish with squid and shrimp stand out. To start, classic Barceloneta appetizers: croquettes, cod fritters, and good shellfish. They also offer meat, fish, and vegan options.
