Portic Boqueria

This is located in the Rambla food market where you'll find many venues for food. I believe the best way to find the best food is to walk around and look what other people are ordering and asking them how they like it. Most people are happy to share their thoughts and recommendations and that is how we ended up at this restaurant. We saw the seafood platter and it looked fantastic. The cost with $62 euros which we felt was the best value that we saw in Spain during our 2 week trip from Madrid, down south and up the coast to Barcelona. The platter came with a very healthy slice of tuna, a nice lobster, fish, medium sized shrimps, mussels and razor clams. All were nicely seasoned and grilled with liberal amounts of olive oil. While we asked the tuna be lightly seared, it was closer to fully cooked but we won't take any stars away for the review as it was made up by the excellent service. As with these types of dishes in Spain, it is all protein and no vegetables. A small side salad balanced out the entire meal. Suggest you have the Damm Lemon beer as well. Somewhat lighter with a hint of lemon that really complemented the meal. Fully recommend this restaurant.
