Featured Customer Reviews
- “The best paella I’ve had in Barcelona”
“My family and I enjoyed the vegetarian paella, fried peppers, patatas bravas, green salad, and sangria. Everything was a 10/10. We came back two days later because we couldn’t stop thinking about the paella! The service was wonderful and very friendly. Highly recommend.”- Selin S., review on Google Maps Aribau.
- “An exceptional restaurant you can’t miss”
“The paella was fantastic, with a generous portion full of fresh seafood and perfectly seasoned. While the food was incredible, what really stood out was the service: the staff was so kind that they made our experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!”- Fred H., review on TripAdvisor Aribau.
