We stumbled across El Paraguayo while browsing for a place for dinner in Barcelona and decided to give it a try. We love steak and the old newspaper/magazine posted in the front window made the point that this was a red meat-lovers kind of place. My Spanish is reasonable and when we ordered we made it clear (we thought) that... More

My girlfriend and i went here on a Sunday night and had some of the best steak we had ever had. A traditional fairly rustic ambience awaits with superb meat and great wine. We decided to order the 1Kg rib eye between 2. The cost is 53 Euros. Not the cheapest but coming from London not too bad a price... More

At least filet mignon was one of the best I´ve ever had, wine recomendation worked well with it and overall feeling was warm and lively with lots of locals spendin a night there. Prices of the meats were more from the higher end (filet 28€) and side dishes aren´t included. So remember to order them too, if you don´t want... More

The staff... More

a quaint little restaurant, with moderate prices, for large portions and tasty food. Service was good as well, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. A good choice of restaurant for tourists visiting as well as a local favourite. All in all, a pleasant experience and well done, staff of Restaurante El Paraguayo :)

I thought this small restaurant had a great, bustling atmosphere and friendly service. other reviewers have said it is touristy but there were plenty of locals eating there in my experience. It is popular with groups and its not very big and that gives it the feel of a traditional taverna where everyone is squashed in. The overall feeling was... More

I had been recommended El Paraguayo by a number of friends and was looking forward to some wholesome chargrilled steak. I had heard that the place had basic decor and was small but wasn´t deterred by that. Upon arriving, the venue lived up to its "basic" label, but was family run and generally had a friendly vibe. I ordered the... More

As mentioned by others here this place is a meat eater only establishment. Other Irish take note that when you order a Steak here you are getting the meat only, no additional vegetables or sauces as expected at home. Also if you are particular about how your steak is cooked and like yours Well Done then you better clearly state... More

A very, very small restaurant but filled with a lovely 'BBQ' smell! They do great steaks and meat dishes but beware if you are a vegetarian, because there isn't much of a selection for non-carnivores. The staff are friendly and the decor is very genuine. Be aware that due to its position in BCN this is a very touristy place,... More
