This might be the best place for paella in Barcelona. The tapas and other flavors were also delicious. The atmosphere is perfect; I waited an hour and a half in line for a meal here for the first time in my life, and it was totally worth it. The sangria is unique to this place, but it didn't quite suit our taste. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. We also thank them for the complimentary liqueur. Comfortable and delicious! Perfect place for a casual night out! We had to wait 10-15mins before getting a table around 530pm. Seems to be popular for tourists. The paella is perfect and a must try! We also enjoyed anchovies, cod fritters, and the grilled squid. The Santiago torte was nice but not spectacular. Would definitely be back the next time we make it Barcelona! Visited this place based on TikTok videos for Barcelona’s best seafood paella. Coming into the restaurant at 7pm, there was already a line (approx-40 to 45 min wait) and it was well worth it. I absolutely fell in love with the cuisine here and we ordered more tapas like chicken wings and tomato bread. So yummy! Staff are friendly and really nice, shoutout to two of their employees (Turbo &Ala) for such great hospitality. This restaurant lives up to the hype and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Barcelona / Spain! Will definitely come back to check out more of their tapas because our experience here was amazing!

5/5. Food was absolutely delicious. Personal favourites was the seafood paella and grilled cuttlefish. Be prepared for a wait - we queued up at around 5PM and got in around 45 minutes after as a table of 4. Service was also fantastic. Although there was a wait, the restaurant was well organized and M-Gor was amazing. Love the ambiance and food, definitely worth a try if you are in the area.

We had an amazing dining experience at Colum Restaurant! We ordered the seafood paella and seafood prawns, and both dishes were absolutely delicious — full of flavor, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The crème brûlée for dessert was the perfect ending — creamy, rich, and with that perfect caramelized top. We were assisted by one of the staff Ahmed Aka Turbo and Sir Chris both were very attentive, welcoming, and joyful when speaking with customers. We like their friendly attitude really made our experience even better! Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys great seafood, good ambiance, and excellent service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Must try and i highly recommend this restaurant !!! if i visit here back in barcelona spain, i will try here over again..
