📖

Full description

Estimar puts the freshness and quality of its seafood front and centre, with reviewers who love it describing barnacles, langoustine, and grilled red prawn as some of the best they've eaten anywhere. At 4.3 stars from 867 reviews and a must-see score of 75, opinions vary more than at some comparable restaurants — some diners find the quality alone doesn't fully translate into a standout dining experience overall.

Its high aesthetic and trendy scores point to a polished, contemporary seafood-focused room rather than a rustic fish shack. It's a solid choice for travellers prioritising seafood quality above all else.

Reviews

Wow, absolutely incredible. Every dish was incredible - the barnacles, langustine, grilled red prawn, and even the “simple” skewer. World class restaurant - 100% tops my seafood restaurant list, not just in Barcelona but anywhere. Expensive, but worth the splurge.
