Citorah PickRestaurant

Xiringuito Escribà

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

Citorah says

The Escribà family have run pastry counters in this city since 1906, and their beach restaurant at Av. del Litoral 62 is where they cook the rice.

From Best Paella in Barcelona 2026 — 10 Places Worth the Metro, under “4. Xiringuito Escribà — Bogatell beach”.

The catch

Wrong restaurant if you're solo (the rices are built for two), in a hurry (forty minutes minimum from order to table — that's how paella works), or trying to eat for under €30.
