Fort Saint Elme is currently closed (nil signage as to why at the location), however the surrounding views are beautiful and the walk is gorgeous. Recommend walking up and back if you’re in Collioure, rather than driving.

Really interesting visit and great value. Lots of local history. There’s a combination ticket with the local Petit Train from Collioure which gives a local guided tour. Follow the visit with a hike back into town through vineyards with spectacular views.

it is advisable to either take the petite train to the top of the fort, it's a spectacular view around the coast, and the winding roads snaking up to the mountain a wonder. I would then advise to take time to walk around the fort as the train only stops for a few minutes before returning. you can then walk down if it's not too hot to enjoy the smell and scenery of the vineyards. It is about an hour back down towards Coullier, otherwise wait for the next train which will be about the same time.

Great views of the town below and surrounding countryside, a bit expensive I thought and the access road is very narrow, so take your time if you go.

Amazing views of Colliure, the coast and the hill. Toddlers love it, they can borrow knight costumes and soft play swords.

I have been looking up at this Fort from my studio so was very impressed by the building itself, the history along with the staff working there.!

Very nicely restored fortress with extensive and well-displayed medieval armaments, tools of combat. Good historical information posted. 360 degree views of the Mediterranean and Pyrenees from atop the fortress.

Pretty castle but empate and boring. 9€ is too much for an empty castle. Views are amazing tho.

A fantastic place to visit. Spectacular views of the surrounding area from almost every angle so a great place if you like taking photos. Guided tours are available in French and they have written guides available in several languages. There is plenty of interesting information and displays about the history of the area. There is an art gallery floor with lots of beautiful pieces of work. I would describe the place as family friendly - we saw lots of young children and there was plenty of space for them to run around in the courtyard and have fun. Good, clean toilets and a place to refill water bottles. It cost us 7 Euros each to get in (August 2025) and was well worth the visit. We parked in the car park at the top of the town and used the free shuttle bus to get into the busier areas.

One of the biggest and ancient castles on the region. It’s a true royal fortress as it says. There are a lot of groups of students visiting some excursions so make sure you are prepared. In the castle there are some temporary expositions including the one dedicated to the history of the place in 1930s. Moreover you can find an escape room and a projecting performance. At the end of the visit you will see the underlying rooms of the fortress. It’s as breathtaking as the view from the highest tower.

The views from the Château Royal are absolutely amazing — looking out over the sea and the colorful town of Collioure is worth the visit on its own. However, the inside of the castle was a bit disappointing. There isn’t much to see beyond the empty stone walls, and the exhibitions felt limited and not very engaging. Considering the entrance fee, we expected more history or interactive displays. Overall, a nice stop for the scenery, but the interior could be improved to make the visit more worthwhile.

Beautiful castle, feels a bit like a maze, there are so many ways and path and it’s one of the best spot to witness the beauty of the city meeting the sea Not expensive, free for under 26, a lot of documentation and information about the history of the castle, loved it

Very nice castle. It is a big place with many viewpoints and interesting exhibitons.

Beautiful ruins and tourist attraction. Views from the top were breathtaking!

You can purchase reproductions of some of the best fauve paintings. And the manager is très sympa ! Recommended.

A very unpleasant experience thanks to the man doing the tastings. If you are unwilling to help people who speak French imperfectly, make it clear at the door that we are not welcome. Or don’t take a customer facing job if you dislike people so much.

Came here with some friends whilst visiting Collioure and our experience was too lovely. Stefane happily did an impromptu wine tasting - a proper one - among the selection of Collioure and Banyuls wines. He explained to us the history and process, how to break down the flavour, and let us practice our french with him. He even showed us some of the cellars and vintage wine bottles. It was such a memorable experience and I look forward to visiting him again next time!

My friends and I came here for a tasting during our visit to Collioure this summer. We went right before closing but Stephane was very generous with his time and we really enjoyed our experience. The wines were delicious and I loved that we got to compare the different wines from Collioure and Banyuls. Would highly recommend if you’re visiting the town!

We came for a wine tasting and it did not disappoint! Stéphane was very friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to give us an outstanding experience. Merci Stéphane!

My favourite red wine, but you have to like the Grenache.

Excellent vin

Nice banyuls selection

Great food and service. We had the menu of the day and for the price, it’s really worth it. The dishes were of high standards and delicious. Chocolate mousse is a must.

Amazing restaurant near the sea. Great choice to have seafood dishes. We took a seafood platter and anchovies, both were delicious. Big thank you to waiters for hospitality. Highly recommended.

In the second row streets with the view to the bay and castle through the gate, this small restaurant offers an innovative French menu with a short and fair priced local wine card, and inefficient service in a classic ambiance. We were a couple for a celebratory dinner that chose the banyuls aperitivos, the outstanding gravad tuna, seafood carpaccio, Entrecote, takaki tuna, a delicious chocolate mousse, all with a fabulous local Grenache red wine, a digestive, waters and coffee for €80/pax.

Super nice and authentic experience. Frensh Mediterranean food. Price is reasonable. Clean and tidy and stylish authentic.

We had a wonderful experience here. Excellent grilled seafood at a really decent price. Waiter service was really attentive and friendly too.

Friendy people in here. It's all good with seafood and great tasting steaks

Great place in Collioure focused on seafood. I had the calamari and chorizo dish (photo), and it was great from the first to the last bite. Service is efficient and polite. Very nice wine menu as well.

Got a lot of good to say about this place. Service seemed busy but was still welcoming and had plenty of time for me as a solo walk in. Wine buy the glass was delightful. Presentation of the food was beautiful. Hardly a bad seat in the place. Flavours were a mixed bag for me personally but especially given the location I think the prices were well justified.

We had the set menu, the meal was just perfect. The views down to the harbour made this an occasion to remember. Staff very attentive. Highly recommended this restaurant

Views were outstanding but unfortunately the service took away from the experience. It took 2 hours for our mains to arrive after about 1.5 hour before an appetizer was delivered and drinks were forgotten more than once. With having two children (10 and 7 year old) it was not the expectation of a place with the price point that it has. Food overall was good, main dishes under season but fixed easily with some lemon and salt. We wished it had been a better experience, maybe it was an off night for the restaurant.

Stunning restaurant with stunning views, friendly staff and delicious food and drink! A must in Collioure if you want to spoil yourself!

We have visited this wonderful restaurant twice during our stay in Collioure. Both times it was outstanding. The food is amazing, really fresh, creative and tasty. The service is impeccable, super friendly. Great views to complement the overall experience. Can recommend in the highest terms and we will return. Thank you so much.

Wonderful location, superb food and first class service. Couldn’t fault it.

The restaurant has a beautiful setting and view on Collioure. Well protected from the sun. Staff well trained. Welcoming. Excellent food, great menus and à la carte. Tables well presented. Make sure you book your parking place when reserving a table as it is very difficult to find car parking spaces in Collioure. Highly recommend.

I had a great lunch here on Sunday. It was busy, so I really appreciated the staff giving me a table inside (seated 4) even though I was just eating alone. The tapas I ordered was all really tasty and I really liked the clarity over which options were vegetarian. The staff were all really nice and checked in with my food and meal, even though they were very busy.

I’ve been in Paco several times over the years, and it’s always a highlight when in Collioure! The team are always welcoming. Many people love to sit on the outside tables, but the interior is really cozy and very atmospheric. The choices of Catalan highlights are extensive and you really cannot go wrong with anything, but a personal favourite is to order a cargolade. One tip: Arrive soon after opening if you don’t want to wait for a table, as they get pretty popular. As I already have, I’ll continue to call in time and time again! 🙂

The food was lazy. No inspiration and no creativity. A tapas staple like chorizo was just chopped up bits, fried and thrown on a plate. I’m all for simple cooking but this was just flavourless and unappetising. Same with the other staple, garlic prawns. Whatever they were cooked in had caramelised and they just tasted burnt and had zero hint of garlic off them and the prawns themselves were small and again unappetising in presentation. We also had a goats cheese dish and a breaded chicken dish and really the same comments are applicable. Very basic, with no creativity in cooking or presentation. The staff were friendly but the service was painfully slow. Edit - after restaurant response: Perhaps some dish names were lost in translation but it was definitely your restaurant and I standby my experience. I include a photo I took of your wall menu.

Best meal we had in Collioure! We ordered eight or nine different tapas and all were excellent. The calamari, tortilla and grilled bread were the highlights, but it was all great. Would definitely eat here again.

Perfection! Super fresh , diverse and tasty menu. Fast and lovely service. Beautiful presentation. Couldn’t recommend more. Best place for Tapas in the city.

Wonderful selection of tapas. Excellent food. Great friendly service, especially Emeline.

Lovely busy venue, full of the chatter of happy customers. Incredible tapas cooked beautifully. Like a greatest hits, we shared razor clams, octopus with garlic, grilled squid, grilled prawns, padron peppers, patatas bravas, ham and cheese croquettes, scallop tartar, beef carpaccio and more. Stunning.

El Capillo – A Mediterranean Gem of Flavor and Hospitality This is one of those places that stays with you. Every dish is a delightful surprise – a perfect blend of Mediterranean tradition and creative finesse. The pulled beef "hot dog" is a revelation – a dish that could easily stand on the menu of a fine dining restaurant. The grilled dorade with pesto is a sensory treat – juicy, perfectly cooked, and paired with a sauce that elevates every bite. The tapas? Simply top-tier. The Patatas Bravas with aioli are addictive. The mussels – fresh, flavorful, perfectly prepared. The anchovies – delicate, beautifully balanced, served with roasted peppers and onions – simple yet outstanding. Everything is presented with care and taste. And the desserts? Absolutely divine. The grilled brioche with vanilla ice cream, caramel, and whipped cream is heavenly. The chocolate version, topped with a butterfly-shaped crispy wafer and nuts, is both artistic and delicious. A sweet finale done right. A huge plus is the owner – incredibly kind, passionate, and welcoming. The staff is also outstanding – attentive, professional, and warm. El Capillo isn’t just a restaurant – it’s an experience. I’ll definitely return and highly recommend it. Thank you for an unforgettable culinary journey!

A charming little bistrot owned by a lovely welcoming couple. You may end up waiting quite a bit for your lunch, but the delightful food offered here is certainly worth the wait. We would gladly return here anytime.

Coming from San Francisco where we often experience world class cuisine, we give the highest rating and compliments. The food was beautifully and carefully presented, the fish so fresh. The flavor combinations were masterful. We loved the atmosphere: quiet and we loved the beautiful music. The waitress was friendly and helpful. A wonderful experience, we highly recommend. Thank you!

Delicious food well presented and wonderful service. I thoroughly enjoyed my repast here. As a solo diner I really appreciated the friendliness in this establishment. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant.

Delicious tapas, superb main courses. Dishes served with attention and flavor. Bravo chef - we had a fabulous meal. Service attentive and wine well recommended - Girl Power Highly recommended

Great spot - awesome food! 💚

I have eaten here for many years and now there are new owners for only 2 weeks. A short but delicious menu. The nicest people in Collioure and maybe in all of France . For an amazing meal but also a fabulous experience, please go there.

What an adventure! We took a journey through a tasting menu, chefs selection and were blown away. The dishes were perfectly balanced, good portion sizes and were thoroughly enjoyed by all. We will be back!

Loved it, good food , with surprises, nice service, nice atmosphere. Reservation necessary.

This is a truly fantastic restaurant and should be on the list of any visitor to Collioure. The food is interesting, delicate and unique. The service is wonderful. There was only one server on duty but she managed the room expertly. We loved our experience here and we cannot wait for a return visit!

incredible experience. never really been anywhere like it. everyone eats the same tasting menu and the food was incredible. if you can get a table go, you should definitely reserve. special mention for the waitress that handled the room expertly and was constantly smiling and translating everything to English for us. thanks again! we will be back. wonderful wonderful place

Original dishes made from local catches and veggies in season. Fresh and healthy with beautiful presentation. Not for picky eaters and don't even think about bringing a child there. Reservations imperative.
