Great place, it's the type of place you are made welcome and looked after.
The food is great, the best cappuccino's in Barcelona, by a long way.
Great service, Rafa , Mugar , Cristina and the brilliant Elvira will make you welcome, well looked after and it's a very safe place.
Loved it, highly recommended !!!
We enjoyed it so much on the first night of our break we went back on the last night!
Superb food served by friendly staff. Definitely recommend this place.

Not being sure what to expect upon walking in, I was glad we rode out the initial apprehension as the food and service was definitely worth it.
We found the place nearly empty upon entering and being that we were close to the noon hour thought perhaps the signs were pointing to a terrible experience.
We had requested a booth, but were ushered instead to a table for two near the windows. When I objected it was explained that for the two of us this was a more appropriate as the other tables were for larger parties. Ok, whatever, I thought....there's no one here.
After that I was a bit skeptical while reviewing the menu, but our server was kind and brought my standard house red and some chips we'd requested to start our meal.
I began to understand the seating requirement as over the next 15-20 minutes I watched a plethora of people flow in to be seated for lunch.
We ordered the seafood paella and it was so fresh it tasted as though it had just been caught that day. Fresh seafood laid atop a bed of rice and saffron filled a large skillet which they brought to the table.
After showing us the lunch they had prepared it was quickly whisked away and returned to us in equal portions on two separate plates.
Well the food was delicious, and the wine excellent as well. The service, attentive and kind and even though busy we did not have to wait long for anything we needed, including the check.
Our leisurely lunch by the sea was one of our best meals in Barcelona, but cost-wise not out of range for such an excellent meal. Barnabier is a definite gem and a place we'll revisit when we make it back to Barcelona.
We stayed in Barcelona for six days. We came here three times for lunch and now a late dinner. We love the staff -Gloria and Rane.
We enjoyed the assorted spinach, Iberian ham and toast, crispy chicken fingers, fried anchovies, grilled sirloin steak, seafood platter.
We have truly enjoyed our time in Barcelona.
Rane and Gloria were wonderful!

I just want to make a quick comment before I start my review. For those reviewers complaining the staff doesn't speak English, YOUR IN SPAIN, not the US. And most of the slow service complaints are from US Yelpers. The pace in Europe for dining IS slow, thats whats so great. They take their time and enjoy each other and the food and wine. You will never get a check until you ask for it as they don't want to rush you.
Okay, moving on. We got back to our hotel late and needed something close. Barnabier is in the Port Olympic area right at the marina providing nice views. We chose to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. The menus are in Spanish with an English next to it making it easy for those of us who don't speak the local language. Our waiter did speak limited English and we had no problems ordering.
We chose both the ham and the mushroom croquettes and the calamari to start. We also ordered the fresh sea bass and a side of clams. The croquettes were okay, a little "pasty" in texture and flavor I have definitely had better. The calamari was excellent, large rings in a light batter served with fresh lemon. The seabass arrived and we were surprised it was served whole, but we were happy to dig in. It was absolutely delicious! It was chargrilled making the skin so crispy and the chargrilled flavor went all the way into the fish, it was so moist.
The clams were also very fresh and served with butter. Overall it wasn't a bad dinner for being in a touristy location. The one negative was that smoking is allowed outside and there were many smokers. You may want to sit inside if that bothers you.
Wow. We totally expected to get overpriced and underserved food here because of its location to the beach. We were totally surprised! Fresh fish and seafood dishes at reasonable prices. Even our son's pizza was extraordinary. We highly recommend !!!!! Even the Sangria was awesome.
Excellent food at a reasonable price. Staff were very friendly especially with the children.
The pizza, pasta, and burger here are amazing. Desserts are ridiculously good. Didn't have any tapas... I would absolutely come here again.
I must say that Barnabier was one of my favorite restaurants in Barcelona. By far, they have some of the best sangria I have ever tasted. Sweet and flavorful! We went to this restaurant at least 6 times solely for the sangria within a 3 day period! Delicious.
Additionally the food was great. I tried chicken paella for the first time and I was not disappointed. The garlic shrimp were delicious and perfect for snacking prior to the meal. I also tried the sirloin steak. I asked for medium and actually received more of a rare middle however I tried it and actually enjoyed.
The staff was prompt and courteous.
Definitely worth having a seat and trying the food.
The food, service and price were all really great!! View of the marina couldn't be better, perfect spot for a quick casual dinner! Sangria was pretty good, the server's english was better than most places and explained the pricing of paella to us, which was a really nice curtesy, to make sure we understood it was priced per person and min 2 person order. The paella was better than the €80 paella we had 2 days ago!!! The razor clams were fresh, large and plentiful per order. didn't try to upsell or oversell to us at all!! Told us we ordered enough and shouldn't order more. Incredibly considerate! Definitely would recommend this place and NOT a tourist trap despite their theme-like decor!!
We enjoyed the seafood Paella here as our last meal in Barcelona. Seating indoors or outside with view of harbor. Across the street from Hotel Arts Barcelona.
This is a great place right along the water. I came here for dinner with three of my friends and we ordered family style, which I recommend. My favorite dish was the delicious Chicken Paella. The rose sangria is refreshing. We also were able to get a free appetizer coupon on their website.
Lugar recomendable, hemos venido en familia y todo nos ha parecido muy bien, el único pero es que he pedido un poco de pan “textualmente” y me han traído bastante y cobrado por dos raciones ( pan que obviamente por la cantidad no acabamos) esto es un tema del camarero, el resto todo perfecto
Visitamos en el mes de enero desde TX, USA.
Grata experiencia mientras comíamos aquí. La chica Marisol, súper amable, sonriente y atenta. Nos dio sugerencias y comimos súper bien. La comida 10/10. Muchas gracias Barnabier! 🙏🏻
Mi mujer y yo somos clientes de años, hemos comido y también de tapeo, tienen buenos montaditos, y croquetas. El servicio rápido y con simpatía, local agradable bien mantenido, por los años que tiene. Buen surtido de cervezas, y vinos. Para pasar un buen rato y disfrutar del ambiente lo recomiendo 👍
Isabel súper chévere y atenta con nosotros 10 puntos , la comida buenísima lo recomiendo 🤗
Servicio atento, aunque la comida tardó en llegar. De los mejores sitios por la zona. Volveremos.
Buen sitio para comer cerca de la playa. El menú de 25€ incluye 3 entrantes a compartir, y paella de segundo. La comida estaba muy rica y sobre todo la paella era enorme. La atención fue buena.
Buen servicio por parte de la camarera que nos atendió. Tomamos la oferta de vermut con bomba (patata y carne rebozado como una croqueta) 4€. Para lo que es la zona bien de precio. Además la terraza es muy agradable.
Muy bien. Bien servicio, muy atentos. Sobretodo la camarera de la terraza
le doy un 10. Muy atentamente, muy amable no se su nombre un 10. Ya se su nombre Isa.
Buscando que comer nos encontramos con este bar comimos muy bien, con su atención agradable y muy rápidos.
Estábamos paseando cerca… Entramos por un desayuno y un café frente al mar. Todo muy rico. Buena experiencia con brisa playera. Desayunos aproximado 10€ por persona.
