L'Arrosseria Xàtiva Gràcia

L'Arrosseria Xàtiva Gràcia is a Barcelona restaurant to consider when the plan is specifically Valencian rice and paella. The profile is direct: a casual dress code, an average price of $33 per person, a menu identity built around rice rather than a broader fine-dining format.

The clearest reason to choose it is focus. L'Arrosseria Xàtiva Gràcia is a Valencian rice and paella specialist, with signature dishes including paella valenciana, arroz de marisco, arroz negro, arroz meloso de rabo de toro, fideuà. For diners trying to fit one rice-led meal into a Barcelona itinerary, that specialization is the useful hook.

Choose it for Valencian rice depth, not a long tasting format

The useful order is to make rice the center of the meal and keep everything else secondary. Paella valenciana, arroz de marisco, arroz negro, arroz meloso de rabo de toro, fideuà are the key dishes to consider. If the table wants a classic reference point, paella valenciana is the obvious route; if the group wants another style, the seafood rice, black rice, meloso rice, or fideuà give the meal different directions while staying within the restaurant's rice-led identity.

Available information supports a simple reading of the restaurant: this is a casual Valencian rice and paella specialist in Barcelona, priced at $33 per person. Its Macarfi 6.7 Food Rating for 2026 is a useful recognition point, but the stronger practical reason to book is the match between the venue's stated focus and a diner looking for paella or arroz.

The Barcelona setting works for a midday or evening rice meal

Schedule is one of the most useful planning details. L'Arrosseria Xàtiva Gràcia is open Monday–Thursday and Sunday from 12:30 to 23:00, Friday–Saturday from 12:30 to 23:30. The kitchen is listed as open uninterrupted from 12:30 to 23:00, extending to 23:30 on Friday and Saturday.

That uninterrupted kitchen schedule makes the restaurant easier to plan around than places with a narrower service window. It can fit a midday rice meal, an early evening booking, or a later dinner within the hours.
