A historic neighbourhood tavern
The Cid family’s Can Ros retains a Barceloneta tavern identity, combining market fish, seafood snacks and rice with meat and sea-and-mountain dishes. Its address is Emília Llorca Martín 7; the operator still uses the former name Almirall Aixada 7 for the same renamed street.

Rice portions and mixed ingredients
The linked summer menu lists seafood paella at €24.50 per portion, with a minimum of two portions. Other preparations include rice with squid, pork belly and scallop, and an octopus toast with black sausage. These seasonal examples show why a seafood choice still needs its full ingredient description.
