SALT Restaurant & Beach Club sits inside the W Barcelona hotel, right at the tip of Barceloneta. It's a fine dining restaurant and beach club on Barcelona's waterfront, with direct Mediterranean access and sea views from the terrace.
The terrace and sea views are the main draw. Sunbeds and umbrellas line the beachfront, and the whole space is wheelchair accessible. The crowd skews towards hotel guests and tourists, though locals show up for weekend brunch.
Expect $$$ pricing across the board. Reservations are recommended, and you can book through their website. The venue is family-friendly with high chairs and a kids area. Paid parking is available on-site.
Rated 3.7 from 1,374 reviews. Opinions are polarized. The five-star crowd praises food and service, but a noticeable share of one-star reviews flags pricing and inconsistency. It delivers when it's on, but not every visit hits the same mark.
SALT is currently listed as temporarily closed. Check their website or Instagram (@saltbarcelona) before visiting.
