With such great brunch places in Barcelona like Federal Café or Brunch & Cake, it may seem like a cop-out to opt for a hotel restaurant. But the Sunday deal at the Barceló Raval might make you change your mind.

A two-staged affair, the first involves B Lounge, the hotel’s lobby level restaurant, where you can dig into the buffet. It’s a respectable spread, with all the fruit, baked goods, cheeses and cold cuts that you could reasonably expect, as well as some beautifully presented finger foods, a variety of delicious salads, and made-to-order poached eggs with spinach or jamón.

It’s the second leg, however, that makes it worth an outing: After paying up downstairs, head up to the 11th floor 360º roof terrace and enjoy an open (i.e., free) bar of mimosas, bloody marys and cava with the wristband that you’re given upon arrival.
Plunk down into a sun lounger, cocktail in hand, and enjoy the views. Then have some more drinks. And then some more. Weather permitting, take advantage of the splash pool, too (bring swimwear). The deal is good until 16:00, so arrive early to make the most of it.

With a privileged location in front of the sea, in an area where what we find most are beach bars, Agua impresses us thanks to a wonderful terrace -open in summer- with views to the sea, actually one of the most acclaimed in the area.
It is also well-know because of the quiet and cosy atmosphere and the excellent Mediterranean cuisine and the fantastic fish dishes they prepare. Full of natural light and with a Mediterranean touch, the simple decor is really cosy, with colonial style furniture and warm colours that make of this place a the perfect scenario for any kind of occasion: from couples and groups to business dinners.
The cuisine we are offered here has fish as the main ingredient and is fresh and simple. In the menu we find a large variety of dishes, from "montaditos" and salads to pasta and rice dishes. The wine list includes about fifty labels. 

Barcelona.com
Splendid location with a terrace on the beach not far from the Arts hotel. Agua is part of the successful Tragaluz chain, synonymous of quality. 
It offers Mediterranean seafood at its best, specializing in steamed mussels, Norway lobsters au gratin, grilled turbot with noodles cut from squid, a thick steak with red wine gravy, salmon tartare with leeks... Try absolutly the arroces al carbon. As price is very right for the place and the dishes, we recommend you to book... 

Fodors
With views through gnarled and ancient olive trees over the beach into the Mediterranean, this sleek spot hidden "under the boardwalk" near Frank Gehry's gleaming goldfish may not be classical Barceloneta in decor or cuisine, but it's an exciting place to dine. Hit the terrace on warm summer nights or sunny winter days, or just catch rays inside the immense bay windows. Seafood is the main draw and value on the menu here, but risottos, beef, and lamb are also equally available. Expect action, bustle, streamlined design surroundings, beautiful people, and acceptable-if-not-spectacular fare at this very popular tourist favorite. Be sure to reserve in advance.

Frommer's
It bustles, it's hip, and it serves well-prepared fish and shellfish in a hyper-modern setting overlooking the Vila Olímpica beach. A terrace beckons, but if a chilly wind is blowing, retreat into the big-windowed blue-and-yellow dining room and order heaped portions of meats and fish to be grilled over an open fire. Favorite choices include pollo (chicken), pez espada (swordfish), gambas (prawns), and an especially succulent version of calamares rellenos (stuffed squid). They are served with as little culinary fanfare and as few sauces as possible, allowing the freshness and flavor of the ingredients to shine through. Risottos, some studded with fresh almejas (clams) and herbs, are usually winners, with vegetarian versions. The only problem here is popularity; make sure you book on the weekends.

Barcelona Guide
Agua is yet another successful addition to the city's finest eateries by the restaurant group Tragaluz. It has become one of Barcelona's most popular seaside restaurants thanks to its perfect location and quality Mediterranean cuisine. The highlight is its beautiful beachfront terrace right on the boardwalk, but its sunny Colonial style interior is also very inviting. There is almost always a long waiting list for a table so book in advance.

Located on one of the towers of the cable car that goes from La Barceloneta to Montjuïc, 75 meters high, Torre d'Alta Mar presents an idyllic scenerio for the most special evenings.
With an exquisite contemporary interior design, the luxurious restaurant served up its best dish in the shape of spectacular views over the Mediterranean sea and the city of Barcelona. The experience begins in a glass lift that won't let us miss any details of the privileged place where are in. Once in the restaurant, the setting is simply astonishing, especially at night, and more than well worth a visit to the restaurant.
The menu offers the best of the Mediterraean gastronomy, with top quality products and the chef's personal touch.
As expected, this luxury is not suitable for everybody and prices are -just like the restaurant- sky-high. Still, the singularity of the place is well worth it.

75 meters high and a fabulous 360º view. Appreciated by lovers and celebrities: Norman Foster, Jodie Foster, Francis Ford Coppola, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Victoria Abril…
Go for the view but not so much for its expensive Mediterranean cuisine. High altitude but high prices!

“The setting’s the key” to this Mediterranean seafooder situated high “atop a tower at the edge of Barceloneta harbor”, affording “magnificent” views of the city and the sea; the food is a pleasant “surprise”, though a few contend it’s not worth the high prices if you don’t have “a table by the window.”

Location, location, location: at a height of 250 feet over the Barcelona waterfront in the Eiffel-tower-like Sant Sebastià cable-car station over the far side of the port, this restaurant has spectacular 360-degree views of Barcelona as well as far out into the Mediterranean. Seafood of every stripe, spot, fin, and carapace emanates from the kitchen here, but the filet mignon under a colossal slab of foie never fails to delight carnivores.

Frommer's
Alta Mar is sort of a mile-high gastro club. Its setting is the 75-m (250-feet)-high Torre de Sant Sebastián, one of the three towers that serves the port-crossing, tourist-carrying cable car. Don't worry about rubbing shoulders with backpackers when you enter this exclusive eatery; patrons are whisked up in a private high-tech glass elevator to be greeted by a simply breathtaking 360-degree view of the city and sea. Once your jaw stops dropping and you are settled in the plush decor, dine in style from a predominantly fish menu that includes such inventions as a merluza (hake), porcini, and artichoke stir-fry, stewed rape (monkfish) in romesco sauce, or rodaballo (turbot) with pumpkin ravioli.

Torre d'Alta Mar restaurant is situated in the port of Barcelona, near the cable car tower 75 meters high. From there you can enjoy the best views of the city and the sea, day or night. The location is truly privileged.
This sophisticated and innovative restaurant offers Mediterranean cuisine of the highest quality. The specialties are meat and fish, prepared with the best raw materials, as well as a broad and complete wine list.
If you want to enjoy an unforgettable experience in Barcelona, going to the restaurant Torre d'Alta Mar is a guaranteed of success.

Barcelona Guide
With incredible views, 75 meters above ground you can enjoy the panorama of Barcelona's seaside at the top of Torre de San Sebastian. Impressive views. The elevator that takes you up is an adventure in itself! Restaurant Torre de Alta Mar is chic and comfortable and serves mediterrran and local dishes based on food like fish and seafood to people who want that little extra of sunsets and starry nights over the spectacular sea. Ofcourse the view has its price, which shows clearly once its time to pay. 

Nile Guide
This restaurant, nestled atop the 75 meter high Torre de Sant Sebastián cable-car tower, is more a spectacular vantage point than an eatery. A predominantly sea-food menu is cooked in traditional Catalan style and the service is more than satisfactory. Being an upscale luxury joint, it mostly serves high-profile customers. But if you do manage to get a reservation, you are sure to have the time of your life! Come along, a whole new dining experience awaits you at torre d'alta mar.

Time Out
Mediterranean fish cuisine with modern touches, and in a chic setting: the cable car tower that looks down over the port. As you can imagine, bringing lobsters, wine and oil 75 metres uphill is not easy or cheap. So you can calculate about €80 per head, at least. Treat yourself, just for a day. Another, cheaper option is to book during the week and try their lunchtime menu.

With a Basque name that gives us a clue of the origin of the family that owns it, Kaiku goes quite unnoticed in an area so crammed with restaurants as La Barceloneta. Those who know how wonderful it cuisine is are really a few, which is an advantage for the regulars and makes up for the fact that it's only open at lunch time (it only opens at night for groups of 15 people at least, previous reservation).
The menu at Kaiku, though a bit short, is more than enough and presents Mediterranean dishes with the chef's personal touch to them. Rice and fish dishes are especially recommended.
There is nothing special about the restaurant itself, but enjoying a lunch at the terrace on a sunny day is really delightful.

Barcelona Metropolitan 
...Nearby there’s Kaiku, which is practically an icon by now thanks to carefully crafted, top-notch cooking, and a great value daytime menu. Chef Hugo is a creative sort and so it’s impossible to get anything bog standard there, which is of course a good thing, except that generally, though not always, when I’m in the market for paella I’m after something a bit more traditional. Their smoked rice creation with artichokes and wild mushrooms, wonderful as it is, is something I want a couple of times a year not every Sunday...

Fodors
You could easily pass by this undistinguished-looking little dining room on the edge of the beach at the end of Passeig Joan de Borbó. But seeking it out is worth your while; the seafood here is excellent and the value is ironclad. Rice dishes, mussels, sea anemones, fish soup are all hearty. Try the arròs del xef, a smoky rice with calamari, asparagus, and wild mushrooms. The wine list has some surprising choices at reasonable prices.

Restalo.uk
Kaiku Restaurant is a restaurant with Mediterranean cuisine. The decoration is very simple, looks like bar in the beach,  with paper tablecloths, but this is a place to recommend due to their good cuisine. The menu is short and the dishes well prepare. The terrace faces the sea and it is a real privilege.

Time Out
Good food and atmosphere. The best tables are on the terrace, with the sea spread out before you. It’s well worth trying their arròs fumat.

Blessed with two Michelin stars, Catalan chef Sergi Arola is a rising star of Spain's culinary world. The setting for his first restaurant in Barcelona (the other, Sergi Arola Gastro, is in Madrid) is the luxury Hotel Arts in the Olympic Village. Amid a pop-art interior of purple and lime green, Arola starts off with hot or cold picas (nibbles) that range from artichoke hearts with garlic and parsley to tacos de lubina (chunks of sea bass) or patatas bravas arranged on the plate to look like tiny breasts. Main courses include Mediterranean standards imbued with Arola magic: Mejillones (mussels) with citrus juice and saffron, Gorgonzola cheese croquettes, grilled gambas (prawns) with potato cream, and lubina (sea bass) with an emulsion of watercress. The dessert of goat's cheese, macadamia nuts, tomato jelly, and quince cream will convince you of his talent.

El Mirador de La Venta was born in 2001 on top of "La Venta", in a modernist building dating from the end of the 19th century.
The formula is based on very elaborate creative season cuisine, with select ingredients, freshly cooked and dishes presented with love and devotion.
The restaurant has only seven tables and enjoys really privileged panoramic views over the city. Either romantic dinners or business meals take place here.
The menu is short but balanced and the chef, Víctor Ibáñez, offers also a suggestive tasting menu with half portions of his best dishes.
El Mirador de La Venta is an unforgetable gastronomic experience with the city of Barcelona at our feet.

La Venta has one of Barcelonas most amazing views, overlooking the city from above. This is a typical restaurant where you will bring someone you want to show something special. Famous writers, politicians and celebrities get together here to enjoy the food and the city at its best. Three divine indoor terraces that work all year round, few tables, expensive, but with exquisite and elaborated courses like the Rabbit loin with crawfish and chocolate, the cod with sofrito and hearbs, the wild boar with lemon marmelade etc. International and Catalan cuisine with the best material personalized by great chefs.

This pretty, leafy restaurant is just the place to drop by if you are in the mood for some relaxation and a leisurely meal. Grab one of the thoughtfully-provided straw hats and settle into a chair under the gentle sun at the foot of the Tibidabo hill. It's from here that you can observe the city, while enjoying some excellent Catalan concoctions on the three garden terraces. A sampling of sea urchins au gratin, Txanguro salad with cucumber and beef fillets with "costra" is a must, while the three-chocolate mousse promises memories that will last long after it has been devoured!

Local cuisine with a French touch, together with one of the most spectacular views of the city. Tradition rules at La Venta, while at El Mirador de la Venta, the accent is on young, modern cuisine.

The throne room of Palau Nacional (National Palace) in Montjuïc -where the king Alfonso the 13th inaugurated the 1929 World Exposition- is the privileged scenario that houses the restaurant of the MNAC (National Art Museum of Catalunya), called Òleum.
The restaurant is located in a very special setting, with a modern design and a sober, elegant atmosphere that delights us with impressive views to Barcelona thanks to the huge windows and a panel of titltes mirrors that reflect the city's profile.
The Laie group is in charge of the cuisine since 2009, and presents Mediterranean and Catalan-inspired menu made with a creative touch.
This is definitely a great option when it comes to impressing someone.

Barcelona Guide
Located on the top of Palau Nacional with splendid views across Barcelona. A classic place, newly redecorated with very high sealing, lighth colors, design details like a hugh roof mirror that double the effect of the magnificent views etc. The food is an updated version of traditional Catalan and can include courses like scallops on squid ink noodles with lime foam.

The majestic stairs of the MNAC building overlooking Plaça Espanya make it the perfect spot for a photo op, but Catalan art manages to tempt relatively few visitors to visit the museum itself. Offering something to eat, however, has worked wonders, and Oleum is now one of the museum’s main draws. With no plastic trays or self-service in sight, this is no ordinary museum eatery, but a full-service restaurant set in a spectacular dining room (make sure to explore the rest of the impressive interiors of the museum, too), with wonderful views as well as great food for a lunch date to remember. At night it’s only open for private functions.

Located in La Barceloneta, Can Majó restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a good rice dish, a tasteful fideua or the freshest fish and seafood.
With a really cosy interior and a decor that perfectly matches the gastronomy of the restaurant, the atmosphere in this place is really nice and quiet. The restaurant has a wonderful terrace that invites us, in summer, to an irresistible lunch accompanied by the gentle sea breeze.
The restaurant receives high quality fresh fish and seafood on a daily basis and with it they prepare traditional dishes. We recommend beginning with a ""pica-pica"" and then choosing one of the dishes of the menu. They also elaborate homemade desserts, so it is better not to eat too much in order to try one of their delicious suggestions.
The restaurant offers free parking for clients.

On the seafront in the Barceloneta area, Can Majó was for years one the greatest fish restaurant of Barcelona...Not anymore...We erase past review and advise you not to go there anymore.

Nile Guide
Over the last 30 years, this restaurant on La Barceloneta beach has transformed itself from a simple snack bar to a much more sophisticted venue. It's now considered one of the best restaurants in the area. The menu is clear and simple: fresh seafood of impeccable quality along with paellas and rich homemade desserts. The wine list offers a wide range from bargain bottles to fine vintages from Rioja and Navarra. There's also a cigar and liqueur menu.

Fodors
At the edge of the beach in Barceloneta, this is one of Barcelona's premier seafood restaurants. House specialties are caldero de bogavante (a cross between paella and lobster bouillabaisse) and suquet (fish stewed in its own juices), but whatever you choose will be excellent. In summer the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean is the closest you can now come to the Barceloneta chiringuitos (shanty restaurants) that used to line the beach here. Even so, there's nothing "shanty" about the decor: a white-tablecloth experience with soft pendant lighting inside.

Frommer's
Set close to the harbor on the western edge of Barceloneta, this is one of the finest seafood restaurants in the city. In summer a terrace table here is much in demand. The interior decor, with its painting-lined walls, is in an inviting rustic-tavern style, and the staff is hospitable and friendly, although service is sometimes rushed. The restaurant is renowned for its veieras (scallops), ostras (oysters), and wide range of Mediterranean and Atlantic fish, all delivered fresh daily. Now into its fourth decade, Can Majó still serves as delicious a bullabesa de mariscos (shellfish bouillabaisse) as you'll find in the area. Also very good are the calamares salteados (sautéed squid) and bacalao (cod) served in a savory green sauce with baby clams in their shells.

Loyalists “love” this Barceloneta seafooder, under the same family ownership since 1968, serving “incredible”, “extremely fresh” Catalan specialties with a “wonderful home-cooked” style that lures fans for “once-a-week” dining; “friendly” service and the neighborhood’s “fishing-[village] atmosphere with laundry hanging everywhere” add to its appeal, so be sure to “reserve in advance” for an outdoor table.
