Botafumeiro is a veritable institution in Barcelona’s gastronomic scene; for decades it has been considered one of the city’s best seafood restaurants. Clad in white jackets with gold buttons, the waiters serve a large but careful selection of fish and seafood that ranges from oysters and freshly caught lobster to paella. The restaurant is divided into different rooms where you can dine at tables with classic place settings. It’s well worth starting off with a round of tapas at the magnificent bar.
