Arrosseria Xàtiva

Research-ledBuilt from current sources, not a visit. Checked .

Citorah says

Two branches, both run by Grup Xàtiva, both better than anything you'll find on La Rambla with a laminated photo menu.

From Best Paella in Barcelona 2026 — 10 Places Worth the Metro, under “5. Arrosseria Xàtiva — Gràcia (also Sant Antoni)”.

Wrong for

Solo travellers (you can't order most of the menu for one), wrong if you've got a 9pm Sagrada Família slot (each pan is cooked to order, 25-40 minutes minimum), and wrong if €40-a-head feels steep.

Good to know

Price
€17.90 per person
Where
The Gràcia room sits on Torrent d'en Vidalet 26
Getting there
five minutes from Joanic (L4) or Fontana (L3)
Where
the Sant Antoni sibling is on Muntaner 6
Getting there
a short walk from Universitat (L1/L2)
What to order
paella valenciana — rabbit, chicken, green beans, no chorizo, no peas, no apology — at €17.90 per person
Price
Order it for two and you're at roughly €36-46 before wine
Booking
Reserve. The Gràcia room is small and the Sant Antoni one fills with office lunches; walk-ins on a Friday night are a coin toss.
