Cal Chusco
Seafood & Rice · Barceloneta, Barcelona · €€
No-frills Barceloneta seafood spot. Fresh fish, excellent rice dishes, honest prices. More local than its neighbours on the beachfront strip.
The Delekta Review
Cal Chusco sits in the heart of Barceloneta serving seafood, rice dishes, and traditional Catalan fare to a clientele that mixes neighborhood families with visitors who have figured out that the best eating in this barri is not along the beachfront strip. The approach is straightforward: fresh fish, well-cooked arrossos, honest service. The kitchen does not reinvent, does not fuse, does not chase headlines — it just cooks what it has cooked for years, and does it consistently. Prices are reasonable for a waterfront neighborhood where the tourist markup is usually severe. The no-frills setting focuses attention on the plate rather than the décor. The kind of local seafood restaurant the city still has, thankfully, in the corners the tourism industry has not yet fully colonized.
