Botafumeiro

We, 8 of us in Barcelona for a family celebration, decided to eat here after reading various other reviews. What a place...

On arrival, we thought that we would be sitting on bar stools watching the kitchen at work (which is possible - probably regular locals?) but we were led past more and more tables (the place is a tardis!) until we arrived at our huge table(could have seated 10) on the mezzanine. The maitre'd was very friendly and helpful, giving us full descriptions in excellent english. One of the starters is for two (or at least 3 or 4) and is the largest selection of seafood i have ever seen - it was a pricey choice at nearly £50, but it was magnificent. The service was faultless and although an upmarket restaurant was in no way stuffy or pretensious. Highly recommended!
