Why we dined here: Can Majo came up consistently in our Google search for the best paella in Barcelona.

In a Nutshell: Delicious paella!

We went to Can Majo as a last day stop in search for Barcelona's best paella after scouring the web for reviews and recommendations. We couldn't leave Spain without having an authentic paella experience. The restaurant was located in the harbor are but right at the waterfront so you have to navigate some small streets to find it. We arrived there very late (near 11pm) but it was still bustling with patrons. The paella was the best I've had - very flavorful and the rice had good texture. This was the only paella I had in Spain though. All my other paella experiences were from Canada or the Philippines.

I docked one point off my review for the price and the service. I found the service to be spotty. Sometimes, you'd have to wait a while to get service and the servers weren't as friendly as in other restaurants in Barcelona.

Why we dined here: The receptionist at Briarwood resort (who is a Massachusetts native) recommended this spot as having the best monster lobster roll in the area.

In a Nutshell: Best monstah lobster roll and clam chowder we tasted in the New England area!

I had my best lobster roll and clam chowder experience at Falmouth Raw Bar! We tried the lobster roll and clam chowder at other restaurants in Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, but nothing else comes close. The lobster roll here was massive and had overflowing fresh lobster meat. The bun of the roll was not great, but you'll be so stuffed with the lobster that you won't be able to finish the bun anyway. The clam chowder was very creamy and had a strong essence of clam and seafood. After having the clam chowder and lobster roll here, it was hard for us to enjoy the ones from other restaurants since we kept on comparing them with the ones we had here.

The stuffed scallop and stuffed quahog were just meh, so I deducted a point for that. Stick to their specialties - the monster lobster roll and New England clam chowder!
