📖

Full description

Botafumeiro carries the highest must-see score in this Barcelona set outside of the most heavily reviewed tapas bars, and reviewers routinely call it a seafood temple, a reputation reviewers say the restaurant has earned rather than simply marketed. It stays open late, with one reviewer arriving around midnight and still finding a warm welcome, and the seafood platters and crab dishes are singled out as exceptional.
