Rice Restaurant in Barcelona · El Raval
House-made stock.
Albufera rice.
No shortcuts.
A tapas and rice restaurant in the heart of El Raval. Everything is made here, every day, right in front of you.
A place made for staying at the table
At Rice to Meet You you come to sit down, order well, and enjoy yourself. The space sits in the heart of El Raval, with its own character — everything is cooked in-house, every day, at its own pace. Here everything revolves around the rice, the atmosphere, and the pleasure of sharing a table — no rush, no forced dynamics.
What's on the menu?
Our rice dishes are always on the menu, made with quality ingredients: DO Valencia Albufera rice, DO La Mancha saffron, and stocks made in-house. Before the rice: cold and hot tapas, Spanish omelettes, and sourdough bread baked on site. A short menu, on purpose — every dish earns its place.

A space with its own character
The space is built for sitting comfortably and watching the rice get cooked right at the counter, in front of you. A place cared for down to the last detail, with its own story.
Who's the restaurant for?
The restaurant is your best option if you want to come straight in to eat: couples, friends, visitors and small groups after a proper rice meal in Barcelona, no extra ceremony. If you're after something more hands-on — cooking your own paella, guided step by step — the paella cooking class is the one.

Un rincón con un encanto especial en el Raval. Todo te invita a pasar un rato tranquilo. La energía del lugar es de calma y luz. La comida deliciosa. Pedimos bravas, tiras de pollo rebozado, ensaladilla y pan con diferentes tipos de mantequilla. Todo buenísimo. Deliciosa la limonada casera. Crema catalana de 10. El trato excelente, superamables.
Ya había ido al Taller con amigos y fue un 10, así que quise probar las tapas. Sin duda, a la altura. Todo casero, se nota en cada plato.
Pasamos por casualidad y que grata sorpresa encontrar sitios así y que de verdad hacen falta. La atención de Luis un 10, el sitio impecable y la comida totalmente casera y buena.
