WHAT IS RICE TO MEET YOU?
Rice to Meet You is a paella cooking school and rice restaurant in Barcelona where paella is taken seriously.
We offer hands‑on paella cooking classes, a lunch service focused on rice dishes, and private paella events for groups, companies, and special celebrations.
You’ll find us on Carrer de la Lleialtat 16, in El Raval, and we work with a simple idea: carefully sourced ingredients, a relaxed atmosphere, and an interactive experience that goes far beyond just sitting down to eat.
Here you don’t just taste paella. You learn about the rice, cook it yourself, share the experience, and take home a real memory of Barcelona.

WHY CHOOSE RICE TO MEET YOU?
Because here paella is not a show you watch from the outside – it’s something you live from the inside.
In our paella classes you’ll get to know the ingredients, understand the key steps of cooking rice, and enjoy the process in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
If you’d rather just sit down to eat, you can reserve our paella restaurant at lunchtime. And if you’re planning something special for a group, we design private paella events with a flexible and very personal format.
RTMY is designed for couples, friends, families, travellers, and groups who want to do something different in Barcelona and avoid generic, impersonal tourist experiences.
