Background
About Mirando al Mar
The Story
Mirando al Mar sits on the second floor of the Maremagnum centre at Moll d'Espanya, one of the most visited stretches of Port Vell. The dining room and open terrace face the marina, where yachts moor against the backdrop of la Barceloneta and the Rambla de Mar footbridge.
The Cuisine
The menu centres on Mediterranean cooking with a Catalan accent: rice dishes and fideuà, fish and seafood from the Josper grill, pastas, and a long list of tapas for sharing. Expect to spend between €26 and €50 per person, with bigger-ticket items like lobster rice pushing the ticket higher.
The Team
The kitchen works through a Catalan-Mediterranean repertoire built around the charcoal-fired Josper oven for fish and meats, paired with a dedicated rice section covering paella, arròs negre, rossejat de fideus, and arròs meloso de bogavante.
