Telefèric Barcelona

I've been to Telefèric Barcelona in Brentwood a couple of times and loved the food. It was nice to see the restaurant listed on dineLA. We went to the one in Long Beach this time.

We had the Crab Croquetas and Patatas Bravas for appetizers. We absolutely loved both. The third appetizer, the Tuna Tacos, marinated ahi tuna with mashed avocado in a wonton shell, was good but lacked flavor. 

The Mixta Paella had pork, chicken, Gulf shrimp, and octopus. We ordered it with the slightly burnt bottom, which is the way to go. This was delicious as well. The only complaint is that they did not clean the shrimp. I ate them, but it was noted that the veins were in the shrimp. When we asked our server, Alvaro, he explained that in Spain, they eat the whole thing and don't necessarily remove the black strip.

Dessert was included in the $35 dineLA menu. Churros con Chocolate: Barcelona's famous street fried dough filled with Nutella. Sandi and I weren't sure we would like it because neither of us cares for Nutella. I am used to the churros, which are dipped in rich hot chocolate.  Luckily, there wasn't much in it, so we were able to enjoy their churros.

Alvaro, by the way, was an excellent server; very attentive and pleasant as well. Telefèric Barcelona is at 6420 Pacific Coast Hwy. Suite 160 in Long Beach, California. The one in Brentwood is at San Vicente Blvd. in Los Angeles.
