Paella workshop and rice restaurant in Barcelona
Here we don't just
serve paella.
You can cook it, too.
Cook your own paella in the workshop, or sit down to eat it in the restaurant. You choose how you experience RTMY.
Come to eat
or come to cook
Rice to Meet You is two things in the same place.
We cook all day: rice dishes and tapas in the restaurant, non-stop from 1pm to 11pm.
If you'd rather do it yourself, come in the evening. Sofrito, stock, socarrat, all step by step in the paella workshops at 6pm, 8pm and 10pm.
No cooking experience needed, just the wish to enjoy good food and try something different.
What a paella workshop with us looks like
You arrive and we toast
We welcome you with a glass of cava and walk you through the ingredients you'll use. They're already prepped: here you cook, you don't chop vegetables.
The sofrito starts
Guided step by step, you make paella's main base: the sofrito. Then we guide you through the salmorreta and the stock. Every step gets explained before you take it.
Rice goes on the fire
This is the delicate part. You learn to read the rice and chase the socarrat without going too far.
You sit down to eat
You enjoy the paella you just cooked, with wine and dessert. Then the sobremesa.
Choose how you want to come
Paella workshop
You cook, guided step by step from start to finish.
À la carte restaurant
Come, sit down, and we do the cooking. Rice dishes and tapas, Wednesday to Sunday.
Events for groups and companies
Cooking together works better than any team activity. Bring yours: from 6 to 25 people.
Here everything starts from the base
We prepare our stocks, sofritos and bases every day in the restaurant, slowly and from scratch. While you cook your paella, you can see exactly where the flavour comes from.
Workshops are twelve people maximum. That way we can really be there with you, watch your paella closely, and help whenever it's needed.
If something goes wrong, we'll tell you. And, most of all, we'll show you how to fix it.
Our rice dishes
Every rice dish we make, exactly as on today's menu. Cooked to order, prices per person. DO Valencia Albufera rice and stocks made here.

What people take home from cooking here
LOVED IT! A friend recommended this place as it's something different than just a normal restaurant and to be honest it exceeded our expectations. It's kind of an experience, the host greeted us nicely, explained each step to cook together, cava and wine and snacks in between.
Meravigliosa sorpresa. Un'ottima paella che vedi cucinare davanti a te. Ambiente semplice e informale, ma allegro. Prezzi onesti. Da provare.
Es war ein wunderschöner Abend, tolle Gastgeber und unglaublich leckeres Essen. Das Personal ist unglaublich herzlich und es war eine tolle familiäre Atmosphäre.
In the heart of El Raval
You'll find us at Carrer de la Lleialtat 16, on a quiet street in El Raval. Here we cook every day the way we believe it should be done: with bases made in-house, rice dishes cooked to order, and time to take care of the details.
