Individual ratings for Botafumeiro
Located at the extension of the Passeig Gràcia and 300 metres away from the "Fontana" underground station.
Inside, it is like a bee hive. Waiters in white are buzzing about the elegantly laid tables.
It is an enormous restaurant extending across several dining rooms. There is a lengthy eating counter in the first room and an open kitchen. Valet parking.
Classic fish cuisine with regional specialities from Galicia. Do not miss: Tatar of tuna and avocado, "Percebes" (goose barnacles) as well as the huge sea food platter. Be sure to leave some room for the Crêpes Suzettes. The preparation of the flambé dish right by the table is quite an experience.
Well-appointed wine list with an emphasis on whites and champagne.
For years, patrons have been pampered by the same charismatic waiters in their discrete and efficient manner.

We love the classic ambience as well as the cheerful mood at the bar. It is a wonderful experience to dine with the locals. The staff appears to be in the habit to tuck away tourists in the back rooms in order to preserve an image of authenticity.
It is very easy to run up your bill here, but then of course king crab, lobster and such do have their price.
