THE 15 BEST RESTAURANTS IN BARCELONA FOR A SEAFOOD FEAST 8 Time Out BCN Guide June 2013 BOTAFUMEIRO The best seats? At the bar Botafumeiro is a fine dining institution CAL PEP in Barcelona, and an offer to pay for dinner there is a recognised bargaining chip in all kinds of negotiations. A splendid setting, with gold braid and all the trimmings, and a parade of illustrious guests are part and parcel of the legend. But above all, their reputation rests on the finest Galician seafood prepared in a simple, traditional style: dishes like goose- neck barnacles, freshly cooked and served hot.
