Awards: Michelin Selection

Open since 1975

Moncho Neira's Galician seafood institution on Gran de Gràcia since 1975 — Barcelona's largest formal marisquería at over 300 seats. Day's catch from the Galician rías and Mediterranean dock; percebes, Palamós prawns, centollo, vieiras, lobster.

The Delekta Review

Founded in 1975 by Moncho Neira; flagship of the Moncho's group of Barcelona seafood houses Long-standing celebrity dining room — David Beckham (a repeat visitor whose favourite dish is percebes), Joan Laporta and Hansi Flick from FC Barcelona, Ariana Grande, Shakira, Beyoncé, Woody Allen, and Richard Nixon among the documented guests; the room functions as a Mobile World Congress headquarters for executives each spring

Galician seafood with Mediterranean range — daily-catch focus from the rías and the local lonja, prepared in classical preparations rather than reinterpretation Pricing in the €€€€ tier — Macarfi reports about €70 per person before drinks; full mariscadas and rare-product orders push higher; Andy Hayler's wine-list scrutiny flags markups well above retail

Percebes from the Galician rías (David Beckham's pick) Gambas de Palamós a la plancha Centollo al horno — oven-roast spider crab Vieiras al horno — oven-baked scallops Pulpo á feira — Galician octopus, paprika and oil Tuna tartare and lobster Botafumeiro-style; mariscada para dos as the all-in option

A multi-room palace on Gran de Gràcia 81 — formal main dining rooms in the tourist register, plus a smaller bar that locals favour for a drink and a few platters

Quoted in

“Barcelona's reference seafood house in the upper part of the city.” — Macarfi
