Sunday rice in Barceloneta

Can Solé opened in 1903 feeding the fishermen of Barceloneta harbour, and has been run by the same family for four generations. It is on Carrer de Sant Carles, in the interior of the neighbourhood, two streets from Passeig de Joan de Borbó and far from the front-line terraces. It is a tablecloth restaurant with classic seafood cooking: fish, shellfish and, above all, rice dishes.

The rice dishes and fideuàs are ordered for two at least and charged per person: seafood paella or black rice at €24.40, the house soupy rice at the same price, vegetable rice at €18.50 and versions with lobster at €36.50. To start there are salt cod fritters, clams marinara or razor clams, and among the main courses, salt cod a la llauna or zarzuela. There are also meat dishes and a large house cannelloni.

Lunch, not dinner, on Sunday

It is closed all day Monday. From Tuesday to Saturday it serves lunch from 13:00 to 15:45 and dinner from 20:00 to 22:45; on Sunday, at midday only. If your plan is a paella on Sunday after a walk on the beach, book a few days ahead, because there is only one sitting that day. Booking is on its website or on 932 215 012, and for groups of more than nine people they ask for a deposit.
