Background
About A'Palloza Restaurant
The Story
A'Palloza is a Galician seafood and grill house on Carrer del Rossello in l'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, part of Grupo O'Retorno. The owners describe it as bringing a piece of Galicia to Barcelona, drawing on family recipes passed down through generations -- patiently cooked octopus, family-sized mariscadas, and home-style stews. The name 'A Palloza' refers to the traditional round stone dwellings of rural Galicia.
The Cuisine
The kitchen focuses on traditional Galician home-style cooking with a strong seafood and grill bias. The signature shared plate is the Mariscada A'Palloza, a two-person shellfish platter with prawns, mussels, razor clams and more. Regular menu highlights include pulpo a la gallega (octopus with cachelos and paprika), grilled red prawns, langostinos and cigalas, bacalao a la llauna, salt-crusted Galician chuletón and entrecôte, lacón con cachelos, caldo gallego, and seafood paella. Many plates are offered in full, half and quarter portions. The wine list leans heavily on Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Albariño and other Galician whites.
