AUTHENTIC PAELLA BARCELONA
Rice Specialists
Welcome to The Chipirón, your go-to restaurant for the best rice dishes in Barcelona. Located in the iconic Maremagnum, with stunning views of the port, the sea, and the city skyline—where the Mediterranean is meant to be savored.
Here, rice is cooked the right way—slowly, with fresh ingredients and deep respect for tradition. It all starts with a carefully prepared sofrito, a slow-simmered homemade broth, and top-quality market-fresh products.
Rice & Fideuá Menu
At The Chipirón, we don’t make just any paella. Rice is our craft, and achieving the perfect texture is our obsession. That delicate balance between tender, separate grains and a deep, rich flavor can only be mastered through patience, technique, and years of experience.
Organic Chicken & Artichoke Paella
Organic chicken and fresh artichokes come together in this paella, a dish that champions quality and authentic flavor. A perfectly balanced recipe that highlights local ingredients and a deep love for traditional cuisine.
Catalan Sausage & Baby Squid Paella
Our most Catalan creation. The butifarra brings its rich, intense flavor, while the baby squid adds a touch of the sea. A combination that surprises even the most traditional palates.
Black Rice with Baby Squid
Black rice is always a winning choice. With the unmistakable flavor of squid ink and tender baby squid, every bite is a tribute to Mediterranean cuisine. Pair it with a smooth aioli and enjoy a classic with character.
Seafood Brothy Rice
For those craving a creamier, more comforting rice dish. Norway lobsters, king prawns, and mussels are slowly simmered in a rich, flavorful broth that brings out the best of the sea. A choice that never disappoints.
Lobster Brothy Rice
The crown jewel. A rich, brothy rice with lobster that turns any meal into a celebration. Deep flavor, a silky texture, and top-quality seafood that speaks for itself.
Grilled Vegetable Paella
A flavor-packed vegetarian option. Grilled peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and asparagus come together with aromatic rice to create a light yet deeply satisfying dish. Perfect for those looking for a fresh and healthy alternative.
King Prawn Fideuá
For pasta lovers, fideuá is a rice-free twist that still delivers all the flavors of the sea. Perfectly golden noodles, fresh prawns, and a carefully crafted sofrito make this dish an irresistible alternative.
