La Gavina, Barcelona

Poor service, no greetings at the entrance, the female waitress just ignore us and pass by, until we tried to reach out, poor communication, we asked for the bill and the waitress just forgot it and made us wait for ages until I stood up and look for someone. Poorly managed, someone should got fired.

The food is mediocre but it’s worse that the staff would lie to you that they gave you freshly squeezed juice, when in fact it came from a box. I asked the waiter to double check if there was a mistake and maybe they ran out and he just refused saying he knows it is fresh. It obviously tasted as a mediocre orange juice from a box and for paying a 170€ bill I would expect to at least have better service and someone acknowledge what I am saying. Coffee is only Nescafé brand, so be aware as well. It’s beautiful surrounding, do yourself a favour - take photos and spend your money somewhere where you will get better food and service - which would be most other restaurants in Barcelona.

Non voglio dilungarmi oltre il dovuto, seppure abbia avuto innumerevoli occasioni, in Spagna, di apprezzare la paella, devo dire però che preferisco quella del supermercato Gigante o Carrefour che quella provata in questo locale.
Senza premettere che ho chiesto gamberi e gamberoni grigliati e frutti di mare ecc.ra, ma mi sono stati serviti cotti vapore
Prezzi esageratamente alti da 2 stelle Michelin
Resta la gradevole posizione, ma come quella i tutti i ristoranti in fila nel porto.
Buongustai ed avventori meditate, io non ci tornerò ci certo.

Esta bien ubicado, pero para tomar algo es abusivo, un tinto de verano a precio de copa… 9€… igual usan vino gran reserva para mezclar con limón

Buena alternativa para un domingo de arroz y fideua. En la terraza se está de lujo y el servicio es muy agradable. El precio, pues carrete, como en toda la zona (zon guiri), pero vale la pena.

Looks nice outside, but it is a tourist trap. The grilled vegetables tasted of rancid oil, served with a side of Romesco sauce with the consistency and taste of a canned sauce; the “Iberia Secret” paella was not particularly special, and the carrot & zucchini soup was €15,60 for a purée of curry. And they had wait 15 minutes before (to order) and the end of the meal (for the check). Terrible

El mejor arroz que he probado en Barcelona. Servicio muy atento y profesional. La terraza espectacular, la carta también y los platos salen muy rápido. Lo recomiendo 100 por 100. Volveré sin duda

Un lloc excepcional que s’ha convertit en un dels meus restaurants preferits de Barcelona.
Una cuina espectacular, Una qualitat exel·lent i un tracte i servei exquisit i dels espais privilegiats de Barcelona.

Locale accogliente e raffinato anche se l’esperienza non è stata del tutto convincente.
Antipasto di cozze molto appetitoso.
Paella discreta, mi aspettavo molto di più.
Crema catalana non soddisfacente.
Prezzi onesti per qualità e servizio.

Visited Jan 14th at 12pm. Was nice weather so we sat outside on tables next to the port. Great view of all the yachts and boats. Prices reasonable (for the location and view). Cocktails are well made, food menu is simple and tasty. Staff are welcoming and service was very good.

La peor paella que he probado en mi vida. Sin sabor, arroz pasado y precios de 5 estrellas.
Fatal!
El postre, una tarteleta de limón con merengues que ni el Mercadona y un litro de jarabe de fresa por encima para ocultar lo malo que era.
Y para que nos callamos nos ofrecen un cava más barato que ni hablar.
Dejar este restaurante a un jefe de cocina competente!

DO NOT GO HERE! WORST PAELLA IN TOWN!

Un poco más y nos empadronamos en el restaurante, Entre cada plato más de 45 minutos. Disculpas y copa de cava que no aceptamos. Lástima del emplazamiento, tiene una terraza excelente pero está llevada por personal no profesional que no se organiza ni sabe responder a la demanda. Nos sentamos a las 13: 25 horas y nos levantamos a las 17: 05 horas.

As we were leaving, a large and angry male waiter chased us (two women) down to yell at us for not paying our bill. He was being very aggressive, telling us that we were wrong and not being truthful. We had to walk all the way back down to our spot for the other waiter to say “oh yes it’s OK! ” Then the man finally allowed us to leave without any apologies. He handled the situation very poorly making us feel very unsafe in this general location.

I had a weird feeling about this place when trying to find a table. First of all, this place is GIANT, it takes up most of the boardwalk. When we sat down everything was dirty, all tables near by un-washed, all the menus sticky, and the waitress very unhappy to see us. After a lot of trying to get attention we finally got someone to take our order. Another 15 - 20 minutes passed and finally our drinks (glasses of wine, not hard to pour) came and the waiter brought our check WITH the drinks. We did not ask for it, which felt very rude. We paid and left. Then as we were finally rid of this place the man chased us down.

Did I mention it was overpriced? A glass of cava for nearly 6 euro? !

Schöne Lage. Teuer. Die schlechteste "Paella", die ich je gegessen habe. Hatte mit richtiger Paella eigentlich nichts zu tun! Lindo lugar, Caro. La peor "paella" que yo comí en mi vida. No tenía nada que ver con una paella como tiene que ser. "Arroz con cosas", como se dice en Valencia.
