About this spot
Arrosseria XĂ tiva serves up generous bowls of paella where the rice absorbs the savory depth of saffron and seafood without becoming mushy. The kitchen respects local tradition by keeping the edges slightly firm, ensuring every bite offers a perfect texture contrast. Located in the lively GrĂ cia neighborhood, this spot feels like an authentic extension of Barcelona's street food culture rather than a tourist trap.
đĄ Tips before you go
- Order the 'paella mixta' early as portions are large and often disappear before you can finish your drink.
- Expect to share one or two paellas with friends, as individual servings are rare in traditional Valencian style.
- Ask for extra lemon wedges on the side to cut through the rich flavor of the saffron-infused rice.
