Best lobster paella ever!!!!!! Would have licked the cast iron skillet if it would not have brought shame upon us! Proces were reasonable, interior charming, service first rate. Cannot recommend this gem more highly. A must when visiting Barcelona! more

I booked the Can Majo as a surprise for my boyfriend and what a surprise it was. After an initially pleasant start (nice email correspondance, and a friendly seater) it was downhill all the way. If you want to pay over the odds for a meal, be ignored then left mid sentence whilst the staff attend to a larger party,... more

As a birthday surprise for my seafood-loving self, my fiance decided to book a meal for us. The location is great (although close to, but not on the beach, as their website suggests) & we walked in hoping for one of those special evenings. Unfortunately the incredibly poor standard of service completely ruined it. It began when the head waiter... more

My wife and I were there at the end of August. it was the fifth day of our stay at Barcelona; and we were starting to get pickier with the eateries. We had read about Can Majo, and we were not disappointed. We had the octopus and a feta salad which were great. The seafood paella was the best compared... more

Very bad service.it took them over an hour and a half to bring us the food.When they finally did the waiter came back to colect two pieces of lobster (bogavante) because "we were only a party of four and he had put too much seafood on the rice".Otherwise he would charge us .On top of it it was expensive for... more

We went here recently on our trip to Barcelona. It was suggested for paella, so the first day we had some appetizers and the lobster paella. The specials of the day sounded good as well, but seems don't change day to day. The paella was just average, though the shrimp were prepared well, lobster was slightly overcooked. Overall the experience... more

For my first night out in Barcelona, I chose Can Majo because I had read very good things about the restaurant. To err on the side of caution, I booked a reservation a few days in advance. I would highly advise doing so, because there were parties who did not have a reservation and were turned away. It was quite... more

We booked in advance after reading reviews on Tripadvisor which was a good move considering that there was a number of people being turned away as we arrived at 21:30. My wife and I chose the garlic prawns to start and they were particularly good. For the main dish we ate the rice casserole with lobster. Unfortunately the lobster was... more

Just went to lunch here today ($60 USD including drinks + tip), which might have been worth it if the paella wasn´t so salty and the waitress was not so rude. I´ve downed 2.5 liters of water since the salty paella and now I´m feeling a bit ill. There were three waiters who serviced my table. When I asked for... more

We learnt about this restaurant from reading the reviews on TA. We took a chance and showed up without any reservations, but they were able to provide us a table (for 2). It was about half full (8:30pm) but by the time we left at 10pm, ppl were waiting to get a table since it was packed. The seafood was... more
