Botafumeiro

$$$$, Spanish, Gràcia

User Rating: ***** 4.8

Fodor's Review:

On Gràcia's main thoroughfare, Barcelona's finest Galician restaurant has maritime motifs, snowy tablecloths, wood paneling, and fleets of waiters in spotless white outfits all moving at the speed of light. The bank-breaking Mariscada Botafumeiro is a seafood medley from shellfish to fin fish to cuttlefish to caviar. An assortment of media ración (half-ration) selections is available at the bar, where pulpo a feira (squid on slices of potato), jamón ibérico de bellota (acorn-fed ibérico ham), and pan con tomate (toasted bread topped with olive oil and tomato) make peerless late-night snacks. People-watching is tops, and the waiters behind the counter could double as late-night talk show hosts.
