Last post about Estimar I promise (for now anyway 😐). Monkfish, sea anemones and of course don’t forget desserts of flan and cheesecake 😍
My next stop in Barcelona was to one of (if not the) best seafood restaurant in the city, @estimarzafra Estimar. And I have to express my gratitude to @the.hungry.tourist for first introducing me to this incredible restaurant 3 years ago. Here, @rafazafra_ brings in the very best of the day’s catch, lays it out in front... More

My next stop in Barcelona was to one of (if not the) best seafood restaurant in the city, @estimarzafra Estimar. And I have to express my gratitude to @the.hungry.tourist for first introducing me to this incredible restaurant 3 years ago. Here, @rafazafra_ brings in the very best of the day’s catch, lays it out in front of the small open kitchen and then works his magic. Having visited a few times now, my advice is to go with a small group and just let Rafa and his team cook what ever they want for you. Never say stop! Just keep eating! It might be a while until you have it this good again 😉
Now open in Madrid

Little sea food restaurant run by the former El Bulli chef Rafa Zafra and his wife Ana Gotanegra in the gothic district of Barcelona. The restaurant is in a small street very close to the Santa Maria del Mar church, very hard to find it without local knowledge or GPS. The dining room is a small space with rustic interior and an impressive fish display in front of the open kitchen.
On the menu they only offer fresh, properly cooked seafood dishes without any unnecessary frills just high quality... More
Little sea food restaurant run by the former El Bulli chef Rafa Zafra and his wife Ana Gotanegra in the gothic district of Barcelona. The restaurant is in a small street very close to the Santa Maria del Mar church, very hard to find it without local knowledge or GPS. The dining room is a small space with rustic interior and an impressive fish display in front of the open kitchen.
On the menu they only offer fresh, properly cooked seafood dishes without any unnecessary frills just high quality ingredients at their best.
After the snail and olive nibbles we had marinated mackerel, crayfish carpaccio, fried anchovies, sautéed clams and red prawns to start, baked John Dory, tomato salad, Portobello mushrooms and white asparagus for main dishes.
The highlights were the baked John Dory shared by all of us which was exceptionally fresh and tasty and the delicately cooked prawns from Roses-Costa Brava.
Our dessert order was a portion of home made Catalan cheesecake to share. The texture is very similar to the famous Basque cheesecake but a little bit creamier. It was simple divine.
The wine list is limited but well balanced with high quality international and Spanish wines.
The service was very professional all along our dinner with different really good dish recommendations. This was very important as the written menu is short and not very detailed. All was perfectly explained by our lovely young waiter. The restaurant is clean, friendly the atmosphere was relaxed.
Delightful experience. Less
Best cheesecake ever! Creamy, melty goodness in the center ?
