Frommer's Review
Set close to the harbor, this is one of the finest seafood restaurants in Barcelona. In summer a terrace table here is as desirable a place to eat as anywhere in the port. The interior decor, with its painting-lined walls, is in an inviting rustic-tavern style, and the staff is hospitable and friendly, though service is sometimes rushed. Seafood is the thing here, and the restaurant is renowned for its veieras (scallops), ostras (oysters), and wide range of Mediterranean and Atlantic fish, all delivered fresh that morning. Now into its fourth decade, the restaurant still serves as delicious a bullabesa de mariscos (shellfish bouillabaisse) as you'll find in the area. Also very good are the calamares salteados (sautéed squid) and bacalao (cod) served in a savory green sauce with little baby clams in their shells.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
