Xiringuito Escriba · Restaurant · Barcelona
A seafront rice restaurant next to Bogatell beach, cooking paella and fideua non-stop every day since 1992.
Xiringuito Escriba is a rice restaurant on the seafront next to Bogatell beach, at Avinguda del Litoral 62. It opened in 1992, the year Barcelona hosted the Olympic Games and opened its beaches to the public, and it is led by Joan Escriba, who comes from a family of pastry makers.
The terrace looks out to sea, and the rices are cooked in an open kitchen in view of the tables. The house describes the space as accessible and welcomes dogs.
Rice is ordered per person, and most recipes can be made as paella or as fideua. The list runs from the Escriba special fish paella and a Valencian-style paella with rabbit, chicken, butter beans and artichoke to a surf-and-turf paella, black rice with fish, prawn and cuttlefish, creamy rice with octopus, and rice in lobster broth. Around them sit Xiringuito potatoes with hazelnut brava sauce, grilled sardines with smoked oil and seaweed, an Iberian ham airbag and the house dessert tray.
The kitchen cooks non-stop from noon to 10:30 p.m. every day of the year, which suits a long lunch before or after the beach. Groups of ten or more are handled through a separate group request.
Address: Avinguda del Litoral 62, Bogatell beach, Sant Marti, 08005 Barcelona, Barcelona
