Not the cheapest place, but the food was really great and worth the money. Paella is amazing! And the stuff's fun and made us a compliment of postres and grappa at the end :)

Super touristy place but with great food for the location. I had the paella and a mixed salad and it was yummy. The service is not great but acceptable. Gets busy at lunch, so get a table early.

Had lunch an asked for the menu of the day (2 course, dessert and drink for 12€). Really local feel to the restaurant all in all. Warning, eating at the terrace is for tourists -higher prices

The hustle is real. Great Paella is great but when you get the bill, be ready. You will pay for the “free bread and the free tap water”.
Nancy AndradeApril 22, 2019
Variety of dishes. We order chicken and a vegetarian paella and both were fulfilling and delicious. Great for groups, but try to make a reservation. They give tiny dessert on the house.

Nice mix of locals and tourists with great food and vibrant atmosphere. Be aware that they are very good at selling you more than you want. Food quality is great!
Alex RamirezJuly 20, 2018
Yes, it's a tourists place, but it's also a very fine option for a paella near the beach even if you're a local. Worth visiting, even if the price (due to the area and location) is a bit high.

Paella was quite good, with a lot of fresh fish. Good value.
Jan SudaJuly 22, 2017
This is the best restaurant in Barcelona. Go here in the evening and have Paela with Lobster.
Max AmbrozySeptember 27, 2015
Classic resto at Barceloneta - prices rather high but offering good quality food: go for the Plato Olimpiades (mixed seafood for 2), we had it 3 of us and could not finish it

Day one - 8.30pm: Salamanca (0034 93 221 50; gruposilvestre.com) is a boisterous, sprawling classic, with a seafront terrace and prices that are better than most (mains starting from around £11).

They give you pan con tomate as an appetizer without asking and say it's "on the house", but they charge you 3.90 for it. Don't touch it and give it back unless you want it.
Den KSeptember 17, 2015
Very tasty seafood paella, nice variety of wines, kind service, liqueurs and dessert on the house after the meal, view at the sea.
Tjip TelmanApril 29, 2015
It was very nice, the toilet is not very clean and no wifi, but if you like good paella with seafood, than this is a good bet. The hams on the cealing are a nice decoration wich makes it a nice place
Song LiOctober 5, 2018
The seafood rice is good, but overall I would say it’s a little overpriced, plus this is the ONLY restaurant with waiter asking for tips in the Entire Europe ever for me. A bit minus
MilenaJanuary 2, 2019
Great place if you are looking for seafood and paella (home style in a good way), big portions and nice service!
Andre RauchAugust 1, 2018
When in Barceloneta check out Restaurante Salamanca and try its famous paella. You won´t be disappointed.
Elena EfimonaApril 5, 2018
They serve bread without asking you and they don’t say that it’s 2 euros per person
MahaAugust 5, 2013
The best paella eveeeer, the sea food is very fresh, very friendly waiters ! Must visit
Amy van de AKMay 22, 2017
Well, we loved it...! We had several dishes, and it was pretty fine. Our waiter Fidel was fantastic - thank you!
Ruslan BesJune 7, 2015
Huge dislike for waiters putting non-free olives and bread on the table. Though awesome paella (€16-30) and good sangria.
Oscar TrellesAugust 24, 2017
Pretty touristy because if the area, but the food is actually very good. The seafood paella was great and the service did not disappoint.
Tdd TddSeptember 3, 2016
Good location by the sea, but paella overestimated in relation of the reputation. Paella came in less then 10 minutes it sounded and tasted as a warmed up plate. Not recommendable, very touristic. 😰
Ирина ГоловачApril 6, 2013
Great restaurant with real Spanish cuisine! Boiled octopus with boiled potatoes is great! Also excellent squid and company set Salamanca!
Moritz KrögerMay 8, 2016
Great Paella Restaurant. Outstanding service and fantastic food.
Goran VrabecJuly 15, 2017
We tried seafood paella and it was really good. Best thing is service - really fast and punctual.
James PartonFebruary 23, 2013
Get the seafood platter inc the lobster to share between two. Amazing if you like your seafood straight up!
Essa Al-SheikhAugust 23, 2016
paella was good but not the best in town , great location 👍🏼
Aaron SamiMay 30, 2017
Sat outside, it was very busy but service was great. The paella has to be ordered with a minimum of two so can get expensive quickly
Diana AngelovaFebruary 21, 2016
Paella and prawns! Very delicious, super nice view
Freddos FreddosSeptember 16, 2011
Fantastic, quality fish restaurant. I strongly recommend the "special paella" with a bottle of white wine (albariño). Helpful service, as well
Ali Al-HamidahAugust 9, 2016
Big portions.. Fried calamari is good and the paella was delicious but little salty
Wendell CDecember 24, 2019
Hundreds of tables, the service is muy rápido. Full of seafood options and best for paella 🥘.
Juanjo Mart�sFebruary 24, 2014
There is a daily cheaper menu at 10€/pax they don't show to foreign guests. Regular menu id around 50€/pax at least. Ask for the day menu at entrance.
bilal ercanJune 26, 2016
An otantik seafood restaurant. Shrimps,seabass,crab,lobster, turbot delicious.too much chances.Service average but fast.vine menu is not satisfactory.prices tolerable for a seafood restaurant.
Princess Consuela BananahamicApril 24, 2019
We had daily menu, it was OK - the fish soup a bit too salty, my main food - fish - was cold. The cuttlery was dirty. Service was ok, could be nicer. Next time I would try some other place instead.
The CeoMarch 12, 2014
Excellent food tasty alroz negro . Great service too
Ina HilleviMarch 30, 2019

Yera HaSeptember 12, 2014
The paella was fantastic, the service excellent, and the view unbeatable.
MobilAdam -March 1, 2015
Paella and sangria.. And crema catalana..
Lixian WangNovember 26, 2019
The paelle is too salty, not delicious. Lobster paelle comes with one person portion. The rest paelle is 2 person minimum. Bread is charged around 1 euro.
Ji Ann NgSeptember 3, 2014
So Time Out and Guardian was raving about this place. Personally, the atmosphere was great by the beach, but the paella was too oily and it didn't taste as great as La Fonda.
Flora ChengSeptember 1, 2017
Seafood paella is very salty. Meal came with a complimentary yellow cake dessert.
Firas SafiyeddeenJuly 24, 2017
we got a fried worm in the fried xipirons plate, the paella is jus edible. flavourless, unevenly cooked and topped with old shrimps. overpriced bad tourist trap. the paellas are 18-23 euros per person
Shy CardosoJuly 11, 2016
Just Amazing!! 2 person and we left nothing. Really recommend.
Germán InostrozaNovember 5, 2011
Still is a great place to go in Barceloneta but I must say is Number 2. With a delicious SeaFood too
Koroosh BiriaJune 30, 2016
They give us good suggestions and we enjoyed our meal there.
Pedro Piñera BuendiaJuly 2, 2018
You should try the paella here. It's very delicious!
Gokcen K.July 1, 2016
Seafood paella
Silvia CapelliOctober 29, 2016
Very tasty seafood paella, high quality of food, just in front of the beach. They bring to you bread with ham as starter and dessert (little pieces of cake) for free and the price is reasonable.
