A fantastic experience to try at la Boqueria in Barcelona . Great staff very friendly and helpful. We had the sea food platter and was the best food we have ever tried. A must to try Well done guys ��
If you haven't been, you've gotta go, seriously. This is not your typical tapas bar. The seafood is top quality. Everything on the menu is amazing. I'm a little embarrassed to say that I went for brunch/lunch every day for 7 days. There wasn't much better in town. Gigi and Nuri are top hosts. Great sense of humour and super efficient without being rude. And, there was no judgment when pouring my (full) glass of vino before 12pm (my earliest was 10.55am ). Love you guys. See you in 10 days
Best food in the boqueria! Great staff and amazing food! The lobster seafood platter for two was out if this world! Can't wait to go back in the spring!
Since the moment we met.. you took my breath away!
Every time I’m in Barcelona, I just can’t go anywhere else just here tho Barcelona is such a delicious city!
Octopus, scallops are all time favorite. Every time I order this seems it’s even better than last time!
Service is great, always happy.
If you find this place consider yourself a lucky man! ♥️
unbelievably fresh, delicious and amazing food! Great atmosphere, must visit place if in barcelona.
In dutch: easy: "Lekker"
One of my top 10!
Honestly you can get much fresher and cheaper seafood by the beach in Barcelona (and it's not that far, and way less touristy), but in a pinch this place still gets the job done if you want a quick snack.
Combo seafood platter comes with grilled langoustines, red prawns, white prawns, scallop, razor clams, and a bunch of mussels, with some leafy greens and pickled red cabbage thrown in.
It's at the front of the market so has high turnover which I assume means the food is probably as fresh as it gets in this (touristy) market.

We were walking around the Gothic quarter and stumbled upon a very unique fish market. Surrounding me were various booths selling different kinds of seafood. It was very refreshing to sense the freshness all around me. Little did I know, we stumbled upon The Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, often simply referred to as La Boqueria, which is a large public market in the Ciudad Vieja district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Anyway, Ramblero caught our eye and we head towards it. It was like a mini restaurant situated within the fish market. They had display glasses to highlight dishes they make, but it was very small and there were no seats available.
We inquired about a sit down restaurant to the lady hostess, and to our surprise, the lady said there was one and promptly took us there. We walked for about 10 minutes and finally reached our destination. The restaurant was located in a labyrinthine street plan, with many small streets opening out into squares. It was an amazing experience.
Now this review is for the food in the restaurant. As many Yelpers have written, this place is pricey but worth the money.
For appetizers, we ordered fresh olives, bread and chorizo sausage slowly cooked in red wine. Olives were marinated well and had a very tangy taste to it. The bread had tomato sauce on it which I found interesting. Being half Italian, we love to dunk our bread into tomato sauce. The chorizo sausage was a bit too salty for me, but overall it was pretty satisfactory.
For our main course, we shared the Seafood Paella. This was definitely the highlight of the experience. The prawns were huge and fresh. The sauce was spectacular and the paella was cooked very well. We also learned how to eat paella as before you dig in to eat, you have to make sure you mixed it all very well. Put the prawns and bigger seafood aside and just keep mixing it for a minute.
The ambiance was beautiful and romantic. Although the restaurant was small, it gave it that intimate feeling.
Price is average and not expensive for the quality of the food. A great seafood mixed plate for 2 at 60 €. Very fresh oysters (total of 6) is 9€ . White wine is good 7€ for 2. You are welcome by friendly staff.
However, if you like to select squids or oysters by plate, you can do. I actually prefer it because I don't like muscles (each plate is about 8-16 €).
The freshest seafood you'll find in Barcelona! Why? Because it is located next to a fish market. As a warning, this place isn't cheap! You'll pay as much to eat here as you would in a nice sit down restaurant in Port Olympic or the Barceloneta neighborhood. But dining here is a unique experience due to the high energy of this amazing market. It's a great experience to get under your belt to eat a hearty lunch here and then roam the market afterward.
You can opt for a platter to sample a wide range of seafood fare but in Barcelona speak "seafood platter" means a selection of shellfish not including fish whereas the "fish platter" means no shellfish! Although all the seafood is good here I opted for the razor clams and the "bid red prawns" (which are not included in the "seafood platter". These 2 selections are among the best seafood selections you can opt for in Barcelona.
There's limited seating but they seat you FAST. It's quick service but they don't skimp out on being friendly! :) I discovered what razor clams were today and my eyes have been opened. Hence: razor clams are a must (the long skinny clams). We got the patatas bravas (skip this since it's overpriced and it's nothing special), gambas (shrimp... also good but if I came back, I'd skip), and anchovies (the onions on it were yummy).
The seafood plate I ordered is very big, a lot food, me and my friend could not finish the whole order. Everything in the plate taste very fresh, like from the dock to the kitchen. Service is good too. The only thing is the food is a little bit oily.
We walked by the market accidentally and was attracted by this seafood stall.
Even though we just had paella less than two hours ago, we couldn't help ourselves to try couple dishes: grilled squid and scallops and boy we were absolutely in heaven! So fresh and cooked perfectly! The garnish veggie, sliced potatoes, mushrooms were all very nicely done!
Best yet, the prices were very reasonable.
Went here the first time we were here in Barcelona and stumbled upon it again this time around. We had such an great experience the first time, but this visit blew us our latter visit out of the water!! It was extremely busy but the gentleman who helped us out was ever attentive, funny, and professional. Even thought us how to crack lobster legs! This is the place you want to eat at in The Boqueria!!
We were walking around the market and saw other people order the seafood platter. We love seafood! So we had to try. The seafood is fresh and the portions are good (but the cost is 33€ for their 1 person platter which we shared). They make you order a second dish because if you want 2 seats then 2 dishes, 1 dish = 1 seat. We ordered the baby squid as well which was delicious with their dip (10€). We also ordered 2 beers which are 3€ each. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were so full and satisfied at the end!
This place has the best seafood in Barcelona hands down. The gigantic red prawns were so delicious. The razor clams were so tasty. The octopus was just cooked perfectly. So worth the price and the service was very good. Come and enjoy! Conveniently near the main entrance of La Boqueria.
Second time here in two years. Had to bring the parents here to enjoy the fantastic food and Friendly staff.
For those of you tourist foodies, you must not leave Barcelona without coming to La Mercat, what Americans call the Farmers Market. It is appealing to the eyes and taste. Everything is fresh from fruits to seafood. Having said that, you must eat at the Ramblero, if you can find a seat, which is located inside the market. You will become a bit overwhelmed with so many choices of savory tapas or entree dishes. You will not leave disappointed. You can try almost anything that local vendors are supplying and before you know it you're hooked on some of the tasty fruits, vegetables, fish, but and candies and so much more that Spain has to offer. Trust a foodie from Texas that loves to travel and I have had good food and great food and Ramblero is great!!!
21 & 22 May 2018 - 2 nights in Barcelona. The second evening we attempted LaBoqueria but were too hungry to wait. The server took us a few blocks away to their restaurant which served the same tapas so we decided to venture out of LaBoqueria. It was much quieter and cozy sitting comfortably in their restaurant instead of standing at a stall begging to be served. We had grilled padron peppers very tasty not a single HOT one and were similar taste to grilled shishitos. We could eat a bucket full. Estrella is their local brand of beer and luckily was on tap not canned. Olives were very fresh and tasty. The razor clams were delightful as well. The garlic shrimp with wild mushrooms were very tasty and again we can eat a bucket full of those. The service was very quick and pleasant with no language barriers. We still had a difficult time not tipping but still left a few euro.
Great place to try in Boqueria. The seafood is fresh and you can pick t out yourself. I have the seafood platter for 1 (which 2 can definitely share because it's huge) also the squid with potatoes is to die for. Just the right amount of flavor and spice.
La Ramblero is a bar & restaurant inside the La Mercat Boquerio in Barcelona, Spain. It presents fresh seafood including lobsters and some giant prawns. Alcohol is plentiful. Staff is friendly and inviting. It is inside the market so the ambiance is unique and nearly impossible to duplicate. It is all casual seating with stools lined up around like a bar. When one has walked through the market which presents the best fishes of the sea and fruits of the land, then this restaurant/bar is a good place to relax and soak up the atmosphere.
The Garlic Prawns are king size and out of this world. Red prawns were so sweet and the dash of garlic just puts them atop of everything else.
We will eat here again next year.
Este lugar es mi restaurante favorito en toda Barcelona. Pensé que no me gustaba el pescado, pero Alex insistió en que pidiera salmón. No me engañé. Recordaré esta comida durante mucho tiempo. Todo el equipo es increíble. Regresé y pedí la langosta. Delicioso! Gracias por todo, Christina, Alex, Said y Anna. Gracias a vosotros me siento bienvenido en Barcelona y España. ☺️
Ps: Gracias para la extra copa de Cava Christina 😁
Sehr sehr leckere Tapas Bar/Restaurant in der bekannten Markthalle in Barcelona direkt an der Las Ramblas gelegen. Wir haben uns schön durch die Karte gegessen und auch getrunken. Toller internationaler Service. Sehr zu empfehlen🙌🏻😋🙏🏻

Bar/restaurante de tapas muy, muy sabroso en el conocido mercado de Barcelona, ubicado directamente en Las Ramblas. Comimos y bebimos a través del menú. Gran servicio internacional. Altamente recomendado🙌🏻😋🙏🏻
Excelente bar de tapeo con un surtido muy variado y género de alta calidad. Se come en la barra, en un ambiente fantástico de Mercado de proximidad. El servicio muy atento y cordial. Precio medio muy correcto. Turismo y clientela autóctona. Muy divertido para pasar un buen rato comiendo y hablando con todo el Mundo 👌🥂🥳🍷
Tapasbar mitten im Markt von Barcelona. Wer auf quirliges Leben steht ist hier gut aufgehoben. Eine von vielen Tapasbars in und um La Boqueria. Bestimmt nicht die Beste und auch etwas arg teuer, wenn man vorher nach Preisen fragt weiß man darum.

Bar de tapas en pleno mercado de Barcelona. Cualquiera a quien le guste una vida animada está aquí en buenas manos. Uno de los muchos bares de tapas en La Boquería y sus alrededores. Definitivamente no es el mejor y además un poco caro, si preguntas precios antes lo sabrás.
Excelente atención, calidez de su personal, formado por personas de distintas nacionalidades. La comida deliciosa, fresca y abundante. Estuve rodeada de extranjeros de distintas partes del mundo y todos saboreaban los platos con agrado. Me gustó mucho!
El mejor puesto restaurante de toda la boqueria!!! Venimos del sur, donde tenemos el mejor ambiente y nos sentimos mejor que en casa!!!!! Sobre todo destacar a sus camareros y a su mejor tío llamado Álex!!! Un placer. Cuando volvamos 100/100 repetiremos!!! ( llevamos aquí 4 h y no nos cansamos)
Lecker Lecker Lecker!!!! Ob Tapasmix,Fisch/Seafoodplatte, oder einfach auf einen Wein und das bunte Treiben beobachten es ist ein Traum!!! Das ganze Team ist aufmerksam und super nett und immer gut gelaunt! Besonderer Dank geht an Christina!!!! Danke für die tolle Bewirtung! Wir kommen wieder!!!

Un agradecimiento especial a Cristina!!!! ¡Gracias por la gran hospitalidad! ¡¡¡Volveremos!!!
Sehr nett und sehr frisch und lecker. Ich war vor 6 Jahren zum erst mal da und konnte dieses Jahr meine Familie überzeugen, dass die Meeresfrüchteplatte der Hammer ist!

Muy bonito y muy fresco y sabroso. Estuve allí por primera vez hace 6 años y este año pude convencer a mi familia de que el plato de mariscos estaba increíble.
Fabuloso lugar en La Boquería 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾… atención sensacional y comida estupenda 😀.
El buen ánimo e ingenio de Alejandro lo hacen un espacio ameno y único.
Sí, es un sitio dirigido específicamente para “guiris”. Pero también te digo que se come fabulosamente y no es especialmente caro si tienes en cuenta la zona en la que está y el tipo de comida que sirve. Ahora ofrecen restaurante para sentarse y alejarse del barullo del mercado, pero nosotros nos decidimos por el “modo auténtico”. El sitio hasta las trancas y el ritmo frenético.
No esperes que sea un sitio para
comer y disfrutar de una agradable sobremesa.
Es perfecto para pedir un par de raciones, un par de cervezas, pagar y largarte porque detrás tienes a 2-3 grupos más esperando para sentarse con el mismo ansia que llevabas tú. Si vas con eso asumido, todo irá bien y disfrutarás como lo hicimos nosotros. Lo recomiendo 200%
Excelente sitio al entrar al mercado, a mano izquierda! Personal muy majo, todos de diferentes sitios y dicha combinación mola. Cada uno con su encanto, la comida excelente. Fresca y sabrosa. Volveremos!
La comida es muy buena y el personal muy amable, un poco estresante por tanta gente, pero se entiende que es por dónde esta ubicado. Para estar en un mercado, los precios me parecen altos.
Estuvimos el pasado viernes y la verdad es que todo muy bien. Fuimos con un groupon y aunque siempre vas con recelillo por ir con esas promociones, he de decir que todo estuvo fantástico. Era la primera vez que íbamos y era algo diferente, comer en lugar tan espectacular como es la Boqueria y además comer en la barra del bar. El menú se componía de unas bravas y unos chipirones, que estaban muyy ricos, una mariscada para dos, con gambas, cigalas, calamares, mejillones... y de postre puding. Las zamburiñas fué un extra pq somos un poco "caprichosos" jejejeje. Todo acompañado de una botella de vino blanco fresquito. Todo muy bueno.
Frisches und extrem leckeres seafood! Die großen Seafoodplatten und die Tapas sind allesamt köstlich. Die Jakobsmuscheln sind quasi auf der Zunge zergangen.
GIGI - danke für dein vorzügliches Essen und den großartigen Service!

¡Mariscos frescos y muy sabrosos! Las grandes tablas de marisco y las tapas son deliciosas. Las vieiras prácticamente se derriten en la boca.
GIGI: ¡gracias por tu excelente comida y excelente servicio!

Carta de platos que quita el sentido. Nos decantamos por mariscada....espectacular y bien servida, abundante. Buen servicio con muy buen rollo. Ambiente, la algarabía de un mercado, alegre y lleno de vida.
