Botafumeiro · Restaurant · Barcelona





A Galician seafood house on Gran de Gracia since 1975, serving from noon to 1 a.m. every day.
Botafumeiro is a Galician seafood house on Carrer Gran de Gracia, in the Gracia district, that has traded at number 81 since 1975. It is the life's work of Moncho Neira, the Galician chef behind it, and it buys fish and shellfish every day from the markets of Galicia and Catalonia.
Inside there is a seafood bar, a run of dining rooms and a set of private rooms, in what the house calls a classic setting of wood and bronze. Valet parking is offered at the door.
The menu is built on shellfish served plain, boiled or grilled: Palamos prawns, goose barnacles, velvet crab, spider crab and Galician lobster sold by weight. The Cantabrico platter is a cold selection for two, with a grilled mariscada and a seafood casserole as the other shared options. Galician classics run alongside, among them octopus Feira style, caldo gallego and the house empanada of cod and raisins, and wild fish and Galician beef are cooked over holm-oak charcoal. The rice list includes the paella Parellada.
The kitchen works without a break from noon to 1 a.m., seven days a week, so a late lunch or a late dinner are both possible. Private rooms seat from 10 to 50 guests and can be combined for larger parties.
