Can Majó

Can Majó Review

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.

    Simply the best fish retaurant we have been to worldwide, even better than the Drum and Monkey in Harrogate.Every time we visit Barcelona we eat at Can Majo and always make a point of Sunday lunch watching the locals enjoying lunch with their families ,something we seem to have abandoned in England ........ a joy .The food has been consistently superb and the service excellent , it has to be recommended but book for Sunday lunch so as not to be disappointed.Also Casa Calvet should not be missed for lunch or dinner just to sit in one of the most stunningly beautiful restaurants in a Gaudi building serving excellent food.

    Every time we visit Barcelona we eat at Can Majo at least once but always for Sunday lunch, an institution for us ,like having afternoon tea at Reids in Maderia or the tea dance at the Savoy.The food is fabulous and service what you expect from a family run business ,excellent.Het a bit of real life by sitting and watching Spanish families really enjoy Sunday lunch together , something we seem to have forgotten here in the UK . The Drum and Monkey is great but Can Majo can only be described as the best, if in Barcelona do as the .......do have Sunday lunch at Can majo an unforgettable experience
