Maná 75 is a large paella house at the southern end of Passeig de Joan de Borbó in La Barceloneta, close to the sand of Sant Sebastià beach. Locals and visitors come for rice cooked in the open, plus a full spread of Catalan and Mediterranean seafood dishes.
The kitchen is the main draw. Cooks work a long open line of paella burners that the restaurant describes as the longest in Europe, preparing around 14 paella recipes. Choices range from classic seafood and black rice with squid ink to meat and vegetable versions (Yelp). Tapas, grilled fish and shellfish fill out the menu. Inside, the dining room is bright and spacious, and there is a shaded garden terrace outside (Maná 75). The set Ilusión Menu costs €42 per person, VAT included, and covers a starter, main course, dessert and coffee (Maná 75 menu).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekend lunches and summer evenings fill up fast, especially with large family tables. Book ahead if you want a garden seat. For a calmer meal, go on a weekday at around 1pm or arrive early for dinner. Paellas are usually ordered for a minimum of two people and take about 20 minutes to cook, so order your rice soon after you sit down. The restaurant scores 4.1 on Tripadvisor from more than 1,200 reviews (Tripadvisor). Barceloneta metro station (L4) is about a 15-minute walk away. Afterward, you can stroll the beachfront promenade toward the W Hotel.
