Sal Mar, Mediterranean restaurant in Barceloneta, Spain
Sal Mar is a beachfront restaurant in Barceloneta, Barcelona, Spain, with both indoor and outdoor seating facing the Mediterranean Sea. The terrace sits directly across from the Gas Jetty, offering an open view of the beach and port.
The restaurant opened as part of the broader transformation of the Barceloneta waterfront, which shifted from an industrial port area to a stretch of restaurants and beach bars. This change gradually drew both locals and visitors to the shoreline.
The menu brings together Mediterranean dishes and Asian touches, such as Vietnamese shrimp rolls alongside classic Spanish paella. This mix reflects the open, cosmopolitan character of the Barceloneta neighborhood.
The restaurant is easy to reach on foot along the waterfront promenade, and parking is available nearby. The terrace fills up quickly on warm days, so booking ahead is a good idea.
The restaurant has separate rooms set up specifically for private events and banquets, distinct from the main dining area. Despite sitting right on the beach, these spaces are arranged to work for formal gatherings as well as casual ones.
