Barraca: the essence of the Mediterranean in Barceloneta

On the Barceloneta seafront, Barraca is the place where the Mediterranean takes its place at the table. With a seaside terrace, light wood, large windows, and two floors, it offers a bright and honest experience.

Its cuisine revolves around rice dishes, " " such as octopus, seafood and mountain produce, or veal with marrow, as well as classic seafood dishes such as anchovies with coca bread and tomato, cuttlefish croquettes, and Andalusian-style squid. The commitment to local products and sustainable fishing gives it that added value that many people look for when choosing a place to eat well by the sea.

During the summer, Barraca comes alive: show cooking, special menus, soft music, and the sea breeze in the background. It is undoubtedly one of the most authentic terraces to enjoy the Barcelona summer.
