Barceloneta, bordered by the Mediterranean sea, is known for its many seafood restaurants lining the broadwalk and with the long stretch of sandy beach, it's nothing short of a good breakaway from winter in UK.
We came here for some fresh sea breeze and also for the paella seafood restaurant that is being raved about by the concierge. Due to the fact that I am on holiday mood and the mind isn't particularly working well, both of us forgotten to bring the slip of paper with the name and address of the restaurant we wanted to dine in and so by memory (failing us of course), we made our way to Larros Arrosseria.

For the main course, we ordered 2 huge portions of a chef recommended traditional scallop paella and a prawns and mussels noodle fideua (Spanish noodle paella).
Sadly, instead of enjoying what should be a great dinner by the seaside, the seafood was at best medicore and the mussels at time had a great hint of a detergent taste which my taste buds don't quite agree with.
While the main courses definitely have plenty of room for improvement, the service and ambience is good generally.
