The restaurant la Barceloneta is in the area know as Barceloneta. Its primary dishes are fish and seafood. Recommendation 1 – take someone else to pay the bill ;-) and they may prefer it if you stay away from the live spiny lobster! That out of the way, lets discuss the food
Tourist mistake – order starters and expect them all to arrive together – so when the plates of fish and chicken nibbles arrived, they were shared around between the six of us – and very good they were too, the fish bites were especially light and fluffy. Then the mini-prawns and squid in garlic arrived – two plates – and we realised that we’d been culturally inept! So we shared the excellent plates of non-rubbery squid and tasty prawns. Main course was a more simpler affair (no-one ordered spiny lobster !). Three plates of the baked turbot, and a few meat dishes arrived – what can I say about the turbot – except that it is a fine fish, and the dish was executed brilliantly – I’m a fussy eater, but the accompanying vegetables were so tasty and complemented the dish exceptionally well that even I ate them. Desert was usual fair and exceptional again.
So, again, one to put on the list for maybe again next time.. 2 nights down 2 to go (as it’s Wednesday I already know what last night was like, but you’ll have to wait and see)
