best sunday lunch in barceloneta?

of the gazillion posts on barcelona eating, i'm not seeing anything that answers the pressing question: where's the best place to eat sunday lunch in barceloneta?

we'll be there this sunday, and i'm debating between the following (we have reservations on hold at all):

can majo
xiringuito de l'escriba
kaiku
suquet de l'almirall

in the past, i would have opted for can majo without hesitation. but i have seen some very mixed reviews, saying that it's gone hugely downhill.

ideals - we'd love: to eat outside, have delicious seafood + fideau/paella, and be somewhere where it feels great to sit and linger. (i'm aware that not all of the above fit the bill on all counts, we're not wholly wedded to these criteria).

it will be out first meal in barcelona, we arrive that morning.

would very much appreciate any insider info/take.

      Kaiku is very much open for sunday lunch. It would be highly unusual for an arroceria in Barceloneta to be closed on a Sunday considering it is the day of the week when they are most frequented.

        yes, normally open on sunday. but this sunday they are closed b/c of sant joan festival. unfortunate.
