After a little research of what to avoid when searching for the best Paella in Barcelona; we concluded that we did find the best! No pictures outside the entrance advertising “Paella”, no English speaking wait staff trying to push a jack and coke, and no beer steins full of low grade liquor and food coloring. Just a quaint authentic restaurant who’s specialty was rice dishes. Devine!
