Citorah PickRestaurant · El Born
Casa Delfín
Citorah says This is the rice address locals send their cousins to when 7 Portes is full of cruise passengers being walked in two-by-two.
The catch Wrong restaurant if you're solo, want under €20 a head, or are catching a 16:00 train.
Citorah PickRestaurant · El Born
Llamber
Best for if you're solo or in a pair where one of you hates committing to a wide pan for forty minutes
Citorah says Fran Heras's Asturian-Catalan taberna has been running since 2012 and the rice it's known for is arròs negre amb allioli — squid-ink rice with a separate quenelle of garlic mayonnaise you fold in yourself, around €18-22 a head depending on whether you split it as a ración-format tapa or order the full pan.
The catch Wrong for you if you want a wood-fired valenciana on a Sunday-lunch terrace by the sea — go to Barceloneta's Can Solé for that, not the Passeig Marítim photo-menu rank.
