Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in L'Escala

Just returned from a 3 night stay, what a wonderful place, staff were great, so polite and attentive, food was remarkable! A great stop off for us as we have family in France , here was very relaxed!

As always, we were delighted of having lunch here. The staff are professional, friendly, respectful, attentive and really nice. They pay attention to every detail and they make sure everything is perfect while you are there. The food was amazing. Fresh, well cooked and tasty. We have missed coming here while the Covid pandemic so much. We were delighted of celebrating our little man 4th birthday with our parents here. We have all enjoyed a lot.

We came here for lunch, it was a real treat! The food was delicious, the setting lovely, the staff professional.

We stayed for 1 night and felt for the price the hotel was fantastic. The hotel is in a renovated old mill and has a very cozy and warm atmosphere. They have an indoor fireplace too which was great for December. We felt some of the things could be improved on like the initial yard you see from the road had junk and some of the interior had a broken windows and lock. We had dinner and got the roomservice breakfast 15 € ea, highly recommend. the rooms were spacious and beautiful.

It almost deserves a 5 star but for some small details that were not quite right, like room not done quite properly on first 2 nights (missing bedsheets). But overall, it still is an absolutely delightful place, with friendly and helpful staff, beautiful and cozy rooms and all the amenities you'd expect. It's really well situated, walking distance from the empuries ruins, the beaches and the centre of the charming town of l'Escala. We may well visit again

The food is fantastic and delicious. The service is excellent. We arrived at 15:15 (the kitchen closes at 15:40) and they served us anyway! That to me is the epitome of hospitality. The space is also sort of magical and cozy. I want to come back here all of the time!

Beautiful restaurant just in the entrance of l’escala, with a huge parking and cool terrace. We had dinner there and we have ordered some dishes, the best were cod fritters, eggplant tataky and carpaccio of foie and truffle. The food was exceptional and the wines were well priced. From the other side the dishes took 25’ to come and the service (waitress) was not the best, everyone could have a bad day but in front of the people you need to be careful. We were expecting more kindful attitude and more attention due to the name of the restaurant. I hope they will sort it out and I will give more stars next time!

Amazing meal at La Gruta. We came here to celebrate our 20th anniversary and we loved every bite. We got the 6 course tasting menu and it didn’t disappoint. They had a fantastic selection of wine as well. Service was fantastic and we left with smiles on our faces and full bellies. We highly recommend going here if you want to experience a truly divine culinarily experience and great atmosphere. I do recommend sitting in the stone room (planta 0) or outside. Planta 1 was a little quiet and lacked any excitement. Request the table by the kitchen if you want to see the chef in action!

This was perhaps one of the best “fancy” dining experiences of our lives. We all chose the Chefs Menu and were blown away by the flavors and presentation. We drank house wine which was excellent! It was a complete dining experience. Highly recommend.

One of the best restaurants this year!! Every dish was delicious and every flavour was very well developed. We had the 6 course menu, what an experience! Damage: very well worth it.

Recommend by a local. Chose a 3-course menu (it’s a bargain! Only €30! Michelin star quality) - absolutely amazing. Must try their sirloin beef 😋 super friendly staff and beautiful terrace.

Very nice gastronomic expérience. Very good service, excellent and surprising food. They adapted the menu for our allergies. Very good wine advice and choice. We will be back! A must do in La Escala

First discovered this place in 2012/2013 and have loved it ever since. It has become a MUST every time we are near Perpignan. Warm welcome, great service and food that takes you places… The couple that run the place have found their calling and perfected it…

Exquisite location paired with very attentive service. Menu at lunchtime well-coordinated, including water. Wine is a mere 7€ additional fee, but it’s worth every penny. Foie Gras, Salmon Supreme, Chocolate cake and Cardahio (Coffee with brandy).

No bad places only bad prices. Despite the small portion size you should expect upwards of 50€-70€ per person. Certainly a very centric location with great seaside view can inflate prices. But still plenty of restaurants nearby offer similar view, product and service for a better price.

Fabulous place with delicious flavored food that tastes as great as it looks.. Place located in beautiful location with peaceful views.. We had an amazing dinner with sunset over the sea.. Really recommend this place..

Quite the most delicious seafood in a beautiful setting. A well deserved Michelin star restaurant with good wine at reasonable prices.

Gorgeous views, overpriced food and average service. The food was not outright bad, just bland and underwhelming. Eaten at high-class restaurants, all over the world with renowned Michelin stars, so disappointing. You can eat better and cheaper in other places in l'Escala. This is not a terrible restaurant, it's just not worth the price and, in my opinion, doesn't deserve to be a Michelin Star.

Tiramisu has to be named differently !! This one is offensive !

High expectations but turned out an overpriced and disappointing food with a bad service. We hat a table reservation at 2:30pm. They sat us on the only table with no window and facing a big stone wall behind a column. They didn't take care of our table after 20 minutes been sitting there,. We ordered the Menú Degustació and the first plate arrived to the table after 25 minutes we ordered, a total of 45 minutes sitting there with no food, any apology neither a plate explanation. The first dish was modified from the initial menu because they run off peas, the main ingredient, the alternative ingredient, fava beans made the dish no tasty how it was supposed to be. The second dish was really salty, we didn't finish it, we told it to the waiter but we didn't receive any explanation or apology about it. The third dish was okay and the fourth, the only meat dish, was the best. Neither the bread that they served us was good, it was a bad quality bread, re-defrosted dry bread. We ordered wine by the glass and it was a small selection that we could choose from, in opposite from the big wine menu. We got the smallest wine glasses ever. Unfortunately our experience was a disaster, they didn't take care of us and the food quality was just okay being nice. Only when we were leaving the table came the owner to ask us about the experience and when we explain it to her, she said a simple "sorry". I can understand that an Easter Sunday is a busy day, but your business and service has to be good no matter that. You can't make differences between the usual costumers and the new ones, because these new ones won't come back again and they pay also. So sorry that they obviously don't care. We won't go back. Grans espectacions destrossades per una qualitat pésima del servei i un menú Degustació amb moltes mancances. No tornarem.

Great decor and service. Good food

The food, the service and the ambiente are very good. The appetizer sardines, the paellas and the pizzas are really good and are definitely ‘must eats’. The offered house wine is so so, there is room to improve. Considering the valuable price the overall rating should be 4,5 stars. Unfortunately the system doesn’t allow number in between 4 and 5.

the service was great and we appreciated that alot the food - artichokes fried a bit boring and needs a sauce, they brought us mayo and ketchup the duck canneloni is pretty good the lamb shoulder had no seasoning but otherwise was ok we failed to ask for tap water and thus were forced to pay for the bottled water... and why do they bring it to the table uncapped? it should be opened at the table in front of the customer my wife was happy but i was neither wowed or impressed.

Went for the proper lunch. Excellent restaurant top on small hill near by the beach. We ate mussels as a starters and mixed paella for a main. Definately need to go back to taste scorpion fish. + dogs allowed atleast at the terrace!👍🏻

Fantastic local cuisine at a fantastic location, with a strong emphasis on fresh seafood. We visited for Sunday lunch and the restaurant was very busy but the staff still found us a great table. Service was prompt and efficient. The local anchovies were a standout part of our lunch.

The food was a very good standard and the staff very professional. The food isn't that different to thousands of other restaurants in the area but the location is what makes it special. There was nothing wrong and maybe a 3 star on the food is a little harsh but for me to mark a 4 or 5 there need to be something different to the rest. I highly recommend a visit.

Restaurant in a very beautiful historical place. A bit touristy, but you really feel like you're in Spain. I had a delicious paella with seafood. And finished with a good coffee and dessert. I recommend visiting.

Had some great wood fired oven pizza.

Tapas were quite good, the sashimi was very good and tasty but almost frozen, the croquetes were really excellent, the Spanish omelette was overcooked and finally the clamps were tasteless, same as the lemon pie that was "home made" but it did not taste like home made. The service was very good and the environment amazing. As you see below the price is in line with the food, 20 euros per person, I will come back to taste different options

Super friendly staff and very good food. Even though the menu is in many different languages, it is not a tourist trap. Would come back any time!

Very nice restaurant. Good service with tasty food. For main We ordered fish, ravioli and panzerotti. No disappointment here. Fantastic food

Excellent service, nice ambiance. I really liked that one of their desserts was ‘solidari’ which means they donate the earnings to some NGO. It’s the mango foam and it’s delicious! I recommend the vieira and the corvina carpacio too. The rest was good too, but I wouldn’t repeat. Probably would not come back here cause there are sooo many places to try in L’Escala.

The Hamburger was okay and warm, but the French fries were absolutely cold. Drinks have a pretty small size. Service was good. The restaurant is located in the old town near a small beach.

Disappointing! We looked forward to eating here at the end of our stay in l’Escala mainly because, unusually, the menu has many vegetarian or vegan choices. We ordered spring rolls, the vegetable lasagne, a chickpea and black olive burger, lemon basil sorbet and the chocolate fondant. The starter was two tiny rolls of filo? pastry containing a few strips of cabbage and one piece of carrot in only one of the rolls. They were dry, only browned at the ends and about half the size of the rolls pictured by previous customers on Google and Trip advisor and on Grop’s own site. Despite being shown as “spicy” on the menu they did not appear to have been seasoned. Thankfully they came with a sweet chilli sauce. The lasagne was in a dish with a lot of thin white sauce flavoured with nutmeg and possibly a little cream. Between the layers of pasta there was a kind of paste with some flecks of colour but no distinguishable vegetables despite supposedly being made with onion, leek, carrot, courgette, mushroom and red pepper. The burger was a patty of chickpea purée flecked with slivers of black olive and on one side there were enough for the olive flavour to actually come through. It was garnished with one slice of tomato on top and one underneath plus nine leaves of rocket. The menu says it was flavoured with spices but none were detectable. The sorbet was well flavoured with a hint of basil that went really well with the lemon. The chocolate fondant was two small buns of dry chocolate sponge one of which was burnt on the bottom. The fondant was thin liquid and not the unctuous thick sauce that normally oozes out when you cut into a fondant. The food was edible but overall it was bland, poorly seasoned and did not live up to expectations (or descriptions) with the exception of the sorbet. As always, the restaurant was very busy so it may be just the vegetarian/vegan options that could use some TLC. There was a large group being served at the same time as us, so we probably did not see the restaurant at its best but we will not be giving it a second visit any time soon.

Excellent service. Special mention for the patatas bravas and lemon tart.

We stopped by in this beautiful place and got lured into Meson del Conde restaurant for lunch. Boy, we didn't regret it. The setting is very nice for outside sitting, and the menu offers quite a few great options. Our monk fish special and the suckling pig both were simply amazing. Highly recommended.

Non descript restaurant - terrace too hot in august. Inside very nice furnishing( 60 year anniversary when we went) with a/c ( essential in summer) Firsts we had mussels - half of which were closed and 2 were borderline off. Tomato salad which was good but too much onion. Seconds I had turbet supreme on grill - a little dry. My partner had sardines a la brasa - somewhat mushy texture (grilled sardines should be crispy outside firm meat) We mentioned the mussels and received no reaction. On paying 88 euros the waiter did not offer me the receipt - and i had to ask for it. To sum up - its a tourist restaurant that has seen better days. They obviously are not interested as the passing tourist trade will keep the tables full. La Terrasa restaurant next door is far better but only has terrace ( no a/c)

One of the best arroz negro y pulpo I have recently had. The rice was super crunchy, not too salty, the fish and shrimps were super soft - that indicates it’s just so fresh. Honestly a great lunch, I would repeat it!

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and stylish, perfect for a relaxed evening. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.

Second time we enjoy it The food is top, the service is smiling and always keen to help and serve.. thanks Mahmoud :) The area is wonderful A place not to miss !

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. Overall, an excellent experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The experience was very pleasant and the quality of the food was really great. The staff was extremely friendly and not at all rushed. You can choose from a great selection of local dishes and tapas as well. All in all, it was a very enjoyable evening. A special thanks to our waiter that even spoke a few words of Dutch.

Really nice restaurant! The interior of the place was really well thought out and made you feel super cozy. The food was really good although the portions could’ve been a bit bigger, especially the main course. The desserts weren’t quite what we expected from the description but nevertheless also very delicious. Recommend it 100% 🥰

A hidden gem, well not hidden but a bit off the beaten track. Excellent food, very good service and reasonable price (1 tasting menu & wine + 1 basic menu and drinks under 85 euros). Food is fusion French / catalán I'd say.

Probably my new favourite restaurant in Cataluña. Excellent meal, perfect location and lovely atmosphere. The sauces we have tried were to die for and the deserts were just as good.. Extremely impressed by this little gem.

Exceeded our expectations in all points. - our daughter who got a child friendly dish, an age appropriate chair (kids chair for 4 years old) and was served before everyone else - Chic restaurant, with great menus - more than fairly priced - really nice staff

We chose this restaurant as the last one on our vacation, it was an excellent choice. The diner was nicely presented, very classy and tasted great. The people there were very friendly and they gave us some great pairing suggestions on the wines with the food. When we go back, it will be the first restaurant we'll visit.

The quality of food was fantastic, the atmosphere and surroundings were amazing. The only issue was a the slightly slow service, although this allowed more for conversation.

Glad to have an opportunity to spend time with family and friends in this beautiful restaurant.

We did not feel welcome. The service was friendly but very patronizing. The difference in treatment between us and the Spanish-speaking guests was noticeable. For an establishment of this standard, this is not acceptable. We run a hotel ourselves and do not tolerate such behavior. The food was ok. We had Pasta with lobster and Hamburger.

We spent few days in Cala Montgo off season. We enjoyed this restaurant and and very kind staff. Food was very tasty! One of the best foie gras I ever had!

Nice trendy restaurant close to Montgo beach. Very nice food. We ordered from the sushi menu, and the rolls are creative and very good. Very fresh ingredients and very well-made. Extensive drinks options as well. Service is fast and friendly. Book a table in advance to avoid being disappointed. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely the BEST place to eat in L'Escala if you love authentic sushi and Japanese cuisine. Definitely worth the visit, just make sure you book before you arrive, as the waiting list can be a week! ❤️👍❤️👍

We are here on our first night in Montgó. The food was good and atmosphere great.

Terrible! We arrived at 8:00 PM. After we ordered, all the appetizers were brought to our tables at different times. One salad simply wasn't brought at all and was only added to the main course. As a result, two of us couldn't eat for an hour. The appetizers were overpriced and some of them weren't worth the price. The paella was burnt, and the tortellini were simply salty and had little flavor. My chicken salad had a piece of gristle in it. Some leaves also tasted like dirt. If no one speaks Spanish, you're automatically treated worse. Bad service, expensive, and not worth the price!

Always a fantastic experience at Oreig. The sushi is incredible and never disappoints. Their goats cheese salad is divine. The service is always great and waiters are attentive. Highly recommend.

We visited towards the end of the season so quite a lot of the menu was not available. My husband had chicken and chips which he said was quite basic. I went for the octopus and was thoroughly impressed! It was absolutely delicious. We also had a very good bottle of white wine and some lovely sea views. I think the experience may have been better in peak season with more menu options.

Food become pretty awful here, we use to come here a lot before the pandemic, but now the food quality and taste has dropped drastically. Most of the dishes we had are close to tasteless. The only good thing was the drinks, highly suggest the owner turn this place in to bar with some snacks choices, instead of keeping this place as a restaurant. Service was so so, atmosphere was not bad a nice Mariana vibe.

It’s a very nice and cozy restaurant, the decor and style are just pretty. The menu has some pretty nice options, classics but with a twist (quality of the ingredients could have been a bit better). Reason for my 4 stars instead of the 5 is the service: I don’t know, maybe due to the restaurant has such a beautiful position and amazing ambience I was expecting something more (I mean, a little bit more of attention and professional service). Choose a table on the first floor and ask for views.

The food was okay, i liked the sardines a lot and squid was good too. You can also buy oysters (which were amazing) from a lady working right next to restaurant. I think they are in collabration not quiet sure. The problem is service, it is slow and i found it pretty rude that the menu was taken in front of us and given to another customer. I would be alright if there were no other menus but there was a stack of menus over there. We wanted to order something else and waiting for the menu took pretty long. Anyway the vibes were good, right near to see which is lovely.

Booked for the Benjamin Herman jazz evening at 10pm. When we arrived, chefs were acting as waiters and the place felt chaotic. We were told our table was being prepared, but ended up waiting 25 minutes past our booking time with no apology. When we asked if we could at least get a drink while we waited, we were told no “the table is being prepared, give us one minute.” Ten minutes later, still no table. So we left. Really disappointing experience. The venue felt understaffed and disorganised. A real shame, because the location and view are incredible.

The view from the restaurant, jazz music, interior were all good..they accepted dogs downstairs. Food was yummy..enjoyed the meal...but didnt know they charged a bottle of water for 2.20..so ended up having 7 bottles... the staff were friendly and spoke English.

Ultramar must be visited when in L’Escala. The food is tasty and local, creatively crafted and delicious. The restaurant is a mix of seaside colours and hints of eclectic art. I recommend the anchovies and the bacalao buñuelos, as well as the tuna. Worth visiting for a drink before sunset and a relaxed dinner right by the sea. We’ve come both for lunch and dinner and can recommend both. If you’re looking for a relaxed meal, look no further. On some days they even have live music, so keep an eye out for their event on their social media.

We had an absolutely delightful fideuà for early lunch along with a delicious burrata salad. The fideuà was so rich and flavorful. And the salad was rich and refreshing. They were welcoming snd able to seat us right away, even without a reservation. The atmosphere with the vaulted brick ceiling was wonderful.

The quality was really good. I like the two dishes we chose. The negative point goes for the price and the quantity of the foods. Especially the lamb dish was really small according to the price they offered.

Always excellent food and atmosphere. Was there for the lunch menu with Family and friends and could not reccomend more.

Delicious local food and lovely environment, especially on a stormy evening!

For the last 4 years we have our summer holidays at L'Escala. We drive all the way from Switzerland. The first thing we do when we arrive to our destination is having lunch in 'El Gotim'; it has become a tradition. We have never been. I am not sure what do we wait with more yearing, for the whole year, our first bath on the sea or our lunch in 'El Gotim'. Great Catalan food!

Nice little old school restaurant in a traditional volta catalana setting. The restaurant was clean. Service was relatively fast and on point despite being busy at lunch time. We didn’t get the set menu but instead ordered few dishes to share as starters (parmentier with anchovies, shrimps, and shrimp carpaccio) and rice with scallops (3 people portion) as mains. Everything was absolutely delicious and all came in generous portions. We had to take some rice home as we were so full. We went there for early Sunday lunch around 1.30pm and it was packed. Booking in advance is recommended.

I have been visiting Spain for almost 10 years and living here for a year and a half and this is one of the most delicious dinners I have had. The atmosphere is warm, the service is excellent and the food divine. Oh and you must try the Ratafia a Catalan specialty.

This was top on our list of places to come back to having discovered it in May. The meat is absolutely divine, empanada was the best outside of Argentine and the service is always attentive and friendly.

The atmosphere was decent, nothing too special, but the food totally made up for it. Every dish was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. If you’re going for the food alone, it’s absolutely worth it. Would definitely go back just to eat again.

Impecable service and even better food. They treated us and our son as kings. Quality of food was superb, tenderness of the beef, the steak tartar and dessert were amazing.

We had the most delightful lunch here ....the food reminded us of out trip to Argentina. There is plenty of meat options as well as local fish and the wine list has excellent local wines as well as wine from elsewhere in Spain. We are looking forward to our next visit in September. The best restaurant in L'Escala by far!

Total surprise and one of the best steaks I’ve had in my life! I got the Ojo and my partner the Vacio and it was mind blowing soft and perfectly cooked. The veggies as well and the wine amazing. We were the last to leave hence my boring photo. I wish I was staying longer in this area I would go every night

Lovely restaurant located near the sea in L’Escala. For meat-lovers, this is the place to be! Great menu and wine list. We love to come here every single time.

I had a blast eating there. Great service, amazing recipies full of flavors. You won’t regreat going there. I literally drove 85 miles to get to EL REMANSO, totally worth it =)

Excellent location near a beach. Seaside front view with predominant west orientation. You can dine and enjoy a breathtaking sunset. Sometimes in the evening you need to wait for a table. Excellent seafood options. Good service. Moderate prices. The area is mostly pedestrian and parking is scarce.

Great Tapas and most hospitable staff despite a full house. Thank you for a good time!

We were pleasantly surprised, as this is one of the places at the promenade where you can actually eat a decent food. Bocadillo de omlette was a heaven. The fresh bread and the egg just freshly cooked. Chipirones were eaten in seconds. The staff is friendly, welcoming and does their jobs with humor. Fast service.

Lovely food & location. Walters are friendly & funny. Speak various languages. Large TV for sports

Their tapas were great, Great food and view was superb. And the children can run and play on the beach while you enjoy you beer or Sangria.

Perfectly located, great food, extremely nice service AND good prices, what else can you ask for! No wonder we went back for the second night in a row!!

Very good service, and nice prices as well. You can enjoy such a good food with amazing vies, observing the beautiful sunset os Rosas Bay. Highly recommended!

Great small bar on the beach, delicious Sangria, tapas ok. The owner is an old French lady with strong character and reallly funny. I totally recommend.

I have never been treated with this much disregard !!!! To avoid !!! Details of what happened We asked for 1 ginfizz, 1 ti punch, blue lagoon and one ice tea... waited 20-25 min for them while there was nobody. ALL three cocktails were failures except the ice tea fresh from the bottle. I kindly went to the waitress and explained the situation she called the owner which as chilling and drinking with her friends. She asked us what was the matter. We explained politely that the cocktails were not good. She asked us to leave while we were ready to pay for new ones. Dont be fooled by the fake onwer which appear to be nice... she is nice when things go her way. You are warned !

Rubbish worst Pina Colada I have ever had in my life... Avoid this place it's rubbish. No customer service skills at all by the staff. We ordered a crepe that never arrived.

Visited here a number of times whilst on holiday ..great cocktails (especially the mojito although it made my head spin 🙃) and great tapas too .. the atmosphere was very friendly as were the owner and staff .. lots of lovely nights here meeting different people .. I would definitely recommend a visit to this place ❤️

Nice cocktails, open late

Nice drinks, great location.

Nice bar to sit and relax.

Skip everything else in this town and go here. Not exaggerating one bit. Prices are 70-80% of what everyone else asks but their flavours and cuisine is 200%. It's only slightly out of the touristy zone, yet insane what kind of difference. Atmosphere is nice and quiet, easygoing, the place itself is filled with interesting memorabilia which u can feast your eyes upon while u wait. Best Sangria we've had in this town. In terms of food: I've travelled all over Europe, I have never had SUCH a flavour experience as here. Everyone in the family agrees. Can highly recommend the provolone and squid with shiitake. Staff is genuinely happy and nice people. Not forced to smile while stressed out running a double shift. A MUST DO if you're in L'escala!!!

Wow!!!! We had a great dinner, in a great setting, with fantastic service! We shared six entrees between the two of us. The waitress organized to served them in the perfect order and with great care. Every dish tasted great! I have been in restaurant and hotel business for the past 45 years working as a chef and it’s been a long time since I enjoyed myself as much as I did tonight!!! Thank you very much for such a great evening!

Very disappointed - four of us arrived to a half full restaurant with plenty of outside seating at 10:30pm on Saturday night wanting to sit outside and enjoy a bottle of wine. We were told by a waitress that “We are a restaurant and don’t serve just drinks”. This is despite you advertising you serve cocktails. In the 25 years I’ve been coming to L’Escala I’ve never been to a restaurant that refuses customers to enjoy just a drink. Very poor service and won’t be coming back as clearly they’re doing very well and can afford to turn away business. This is a shame as we’ve eaten here and it was nice.

Absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in, you can really feel they care about their guests. The food was super fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Every dish we tried tasted homemade and autenthic. Great vibes, great service, and great food, definitely coming back!

First time in La mOd Jazz cafe .should have come earlier.friendly people ,great food ,nice music .tonight before leaving home we go again.looking forward to it.

Top restaurant in l'escala, very good food and chill enviroment with a very good lanscape views

This place is such a nice place. The people are very nice and the food is very good. I really appreciate a place where people do care about the quality of the food and the way they treat their clients, thank you! Also a plus is the the restaurant has a terrace with sea views. We will for sure come back! Thank you!!!

Lovely experience - the concept was really nice and everything was so clean! Refreshing ☺

Excellent food and service! The food was creative and of good quality. The staff was friendly and gave us good recommendations when we couldn't decide on certain things. Every dish was delicious. My favorite were the tuna sashimi, oxtail toast and the custard dessert of the day. Really recommend to eat here when in the area of l'escala.

Creativity, quality of products and flavor extraction make this Restaurant a must-go in La Escala! The vines are top-notch

Small and elegant restaurant serving sharing tapas. The owner is a Sommelier and has a very extensive wine list, the wine pairing is a fantastic way to experiace different wines with each of the most amazing tapas dishes that are the most wonderful creations. Throughly recommend.

Already the second year I visit this place for my birthday. Wonderful! Good wine and food, best memories. Thank you 🍷

We were lucky to get the last table, having not made reservations. And this is off season, mind you. The interior design is tasteful and cunning. While you are led to your table you walk over glas and you can see the vine cellar in the basement. There are 4 smaller tables and 2 bigger ones. The team consists of 2 men at the tables, providing impeccable service to the guests and two women in the kitchen to churn out delicious tapas. While you should at least reserve 2h for this culinary course, you do not feel left alone for a minute. Everything works hand in hand flawlessly and the tapas do come in the right order and composition. A feat not easily done when 9 tapas plus dessert and beverages are to be harmonized. Each tapas is more or less double digits and than there is the fireworks for 2 persons with all the kitchen can muster and wine included for 175,-. The Man of the house, a sommelier, prides himself of flanking every flavor with the perfect match of vine . The tasty dessert menu even makes suggestions of the perfect companion to the sweets. Like I said, expect 2h of culinary delight and your account to be lightened by triple digits together with your better half. I am certainly happy that this family enterprise knows how to make this concept work. And while not every course suited my pallet the whole experience is well worth it. Strong recommendations for a special evening. Don't miss the Xuxo :-)

We are from Montreal, a paradise for the foodies so trust us when we say that we know what is a good restaurant and we can say without hesitating that Uain is an amazing one... from far the best experience that we’ve had in 2 weeks in Spain. The tuna cubes, the salmon tataki, amazingly fresh and tasty, it melts in the mouth... good wine, very nice decor with authentic stone walls... it’s a must!! A bonus, you’ll have the pleasure to be served by the owners who are so kind!!

The best Thai food I had in Europe! Love it and totally recommend. It’s a good experience too, they are very nice, food is amazing, everything was perfect. Thanks a lot.

Absolutely amazing experience! One might not immediately think of eating Thai food when visiting Spain, but you’d be wrong not to, this place is a true hidden gem. We visited this wonderful Thai restaurant while traveling through Costa Brava, and it completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted so warmly. I had the Tom Yum soup, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever tasted, so perfectly balanced, fragrant, and flavorful that I even wrote down every single ingredient so I can try to recreate it at home! We also shared the samosa starters, which were absolutely delightful, crisp, light, and packed with flavor. What really blew us away was how pet-friendly it is. We were traveling with our dog, and they surprised us by bringing out a special little bowl of healthy food with rice just for him, along with some water. Such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture, it made the whole evening extra special. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, the service was outstanding, and you can really feel the care and passion the team puts into everything they do. Highly, highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting the area! You better reserve your spot up front though, we were lucky we entered right when they opened and they had a spot left for us.

A slice of Thailand in L’escala 😍 Very tasty food, good vibes, and the owners are so sweet. We tried the pad Thai and khao sew, both with tofu, absolutely delicious! Big servings that are perfect for the family 🙂Thanks Xavi and Montse!

We had a good time, foods are tasty, the staffs were so nice. Highly recommended👍🏻

Great place to be for lunch! Kids friendly service from very kind and easy going Owners. Nice to taste proper Thai food like if we were travelling back to Asia! Namaste

Our first visit here. Great food, very friendly and nice atmosphere. Dog friendly too, our dog was given food and water when we arrived.

Awesome service, food and location. Very friendly hosts. Great Asian experience in Spain. Very much recommend for a visit

I never had bagels in my life, I didn't know if I would like it or not, but they were amazing. Crispy but not hard, light yet filling, a lot of avocado, and just the right amount of the other ingredients, for a perfect balance. My kids got pancakes, they loved every single bite. The ones with white chocolate were a bit too sweet but they still tasted amazing, almost like ice cream. Extra fluffy, extremely tasty. Would warmly recommend.

Such a delightful location with friendly service, we enjoyed a delicious coffee break here. The croissants were heavenly. Rufo 🐶gives it a 👍👍👍👍👍 We couldn’t avoid coming back 🌞for another perfect beachside 🏖️coffee and croissant. ❤️🥰

Great breakfast menu. Toasts, bowls, juice, smoothie, frappe.. 😋 it was delicious. Right in front of the beach we had a great breakfast. It took a while to order but it worthed it.

We were today there ! We had a really tasty breakfast and the service was really friendly. It has a nice view of the beach 🏖️ ! You can chill and get some sun !

Incredible pastrami on bagel (as a New Yorker I was worried but the bread was just fine), banana pancakes were lovely, latte incredible, cookie was a 10, lovely employees, I’ll be back if I’m in the area!

Best coffee in town, definitely they know about how to roast coffee and how to prepare it in the best way. If you are tired of bad Spanish coffee... This is your place. Food is also amazing by the way... I highly recommend the pudding!!!!

Best coffee ☕️ and best view just in the front of the sea 🌊

We sat outside and were immediately struck by the atmosphere—fantastic music, fantastic service, and food that genuinely impressed. It’s tucked away, so not the easiest to stumble across, but well worth seeking out. What really stands out is that they’re clearly not resting on the usual tourist traffic. There’s ambition here—an effort to push boundaries, curate quality live acts, and deliver something memorable. A refreshing change. Check what music’s on and make the effort to visit—you’ll be glad you did.

Excellent experience. Great recommendation to the shared prawns lunch with three different sauces dish. The waiter (Max). Awesome overall. The service was good too, considering it was at lunchtime. Loved the music too. Definitely be back…

Very nice place inside the ruin area. Dishes are middle price. We order some arroz de costilla and it was pretty good. Service normal, we were waiting for the bill, being attendet and the food.

After strolling through the ancient ruins of the Greek and Roman city, you can end your walk at this great restaurant, which not only serves excellent food and has friendly staff, but also lets you, with an Aperol in hand, travel back in time.

Absolutely fantastic on all fronts, top food, impeccable service and great atmosphere - highly recommend & will be back!

Our second time at Bretta and, as always, impeccable in every way: the culinary concept, the food, the space, and the service… even the warm welcome is a solid 10. This time we went before a Portal Blau concert at the Empúries ruins, and it was the perfect formula: dinner on Bretta’s terrace at 8:00 pm, done by 9:30 pm and ready for the concert (just around the corner), and then, after the show, back to enjoy some truly magnificent cocktails. The outdoor space is perfect in summer — even in the middle of August, we were comfortable and relaxed. Service was attentive and friendly at all times, and we never wanted for anything. The food was eclectic and full of personality, with a Japanese grill whose aroma greets you the moment you arrive. The grilled sea bream was spectacular — one of the few places in L’Escala where you can enjoy fish grilled to perfection. The lighting sets a wonderful atmosphere and, as always, the wine list is superb. A flawless experience we will definitely repeat. And if I have to mention the worst part… it might have been me, who, in all the excitement, probably drank a little too much. If at any point I was too much… my apologies!

we were afraidof just another tourist trap with plastic food. but kids were hungry and we just needed food. So happy we did that, it was our best restaurant experience in spain. Food was great, service fast and friendly, atmosphere very cozy. Don't doubt a second and enjoy your lunch here!

Nice service, good pizza, but a 4.8 as of this writing? -Definitely not. It has zero atmosphere as a restaurant. So consider it more like a "over the counter" pizza joint. And while the pizzas are good, I would rate them just above average, as is the price. The calzone is indeed one of the better ones.

Great pizza great crust thin and well cooked. Service very nice 👍🙂

Definitely not 4.8!!! It has zero atmosphere as a restaurant. So consider it more like a "over the counter" pizza joint. And while the pizzas are good, I would rate them just above average.

The Lady is super nice and pizza really good for a fair price :) chill atmosphere in the restaurant.

Great pizza, great crust, not soggy at all.

Best pizza place in l'escala!

Good pizzas and very nice service!

We would give the restaurant setting and decor 5 stars. It had so much promise but was left sadly lacking by unfriendly, unwelcoming and surly service. We’d planned to have drinks followed by food but were left feeling so unwelcome by the rude waitress we didn’t stay. We tried to order some drinks and asked for a drinks menu - we were told they didn’t have one- I asked for orange juice and was told “no” and then suggested coffee and told “we don’t make coffee”. I was left to guess what they might have! She didn’t make any suggestions and seemed angry and irritable. My husband had ordered a beer and our daughter some wine. I didn’t order anything. They finished their drinks and we left as quickly as possible. We’ve spent two weeks in this beautiful area and have eaten gorgeous food in welcoming restaurants and cafes. I’ve never experienced such bizarre behaviour from a member of staff at a restaurant. Avoid Marokko .

Here are my up's 👍🏼 and down's 👎🏼... 👍🏼 Drinks 👍🏼 Ambiance 👍🏼 Location 👎🏼 Really lousy service, Long wait, not friendly, woman behind the counter is on her phone while I was waiting to pay, she didn't even make eye contact.. 👎🏼 Bad management, long waiting for order, drinks and to pay..

We had drinks only, and they were fantastic in the sun overlooking the beach. The proprietor was lovely and welcoming.

Nice atmosphere for a relaxed lunch without being trapped in fancy but anonymous restaurants, honest price, good quality (thumbs up for bread tomato & anchovies, down for patatas bravas drowning in oil and garlic), refreshing salads.

We didn't have food but what a find. Live Music chilled atmosphere. White Sangria a must Back tomorrow 😁

Friendly staff, beautiful location. Would come back again for sure!

Great tapas, great service, nice bluesy music, very stylish place. I recommend!

Food is not bad at all, the restaurant can get a bit noisy as the table is so closes to each others. The dover sole was pretty good. Service wise is efficient enough in Spanish standards but lack of attentiveness or friendliness.

An unexpectedly great restaurant at the main square so rounded with tapas bars and turística traps alike ! They even listen to your requests on how you would like the fish! Give it a try! Thank you Emiliano, you were great! We will come back because of you!

We recently had dinner here, 2 nights during the same week. The food is of a high standard and well worth the money. We were a party of four and everyone remarked on how good the food was. The location also adds to the ambience as it a frontline beach. If you are looking for guaranteed satisfaction this restaurant is well worth a visit.

Had the last dinner of our holiday here. We have been several times over the years and it never fails to impress, whether you want to wander in off the beach for a simple lunch or push the boat out with a gourmet meal. Our waitress Raquel was very friendly, professional and kind. The food was superb - great flavours, fresh ingredients, classic Catalan dishes done very well. We will always come back here when we are lucky enough to stay in beautiful, joyful L'Escala.

Patatas bravas was not worth 8 eur, coz I tried them in other places made more special and cheaper. Octopus was a lil bit overcooked and chewy, but buratta salads were amazing.

Horrible food, dirty dishes.. Service plates was dirty from other dishes, we told them they said sorry and picked it up. Salad should have some vinegar sauce, they have put PLAIN Yoghurt 😂 instead of the sauce. Nothing we ate was nice they also fully charged everything which was funny but we really didn’t have the motivation to fight for it.. Proper tourist scam, never again

Fantastic view of the beach and people walking by, good view, poor service, took ages for our drinks to be served while we waited for our meal, waitress spoke no English, didn’t seem keen to help!

Fantastic tapas, great quality and superb service. We were made to feel very welcome, the specials were clearly explained and there was no rush. Excellent value for money, would happily visit again if we are in the area.

The best place in L’Escala. Family restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere 🌺 Here you’ll eat the best homemade croquetas de jamón. Delicious food and very nice service. We will definitely come back here. 🇪🇸🫶🏻

I recommend this place for its tapas cuisine and great service.

We had tapas and they were all amazing! We also had sangria which was very nice. We had to sit in the covered area due to the wind, but it was worth it. Paid 75€ for food and drinks. Very kind people and accepted our dog, too. Totally recommend it!

Ate dinner here twice on our holiday and we will be coming back next time we're in L'escala! Cozy atmosphere, very friendly staff & owner and the food is clearly homemade and freshly prepared. Don't forget to pet the dog on your way out!

Start here, not at the tourist traps. El Patio has everything right, great drinks, kind staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. But the best part? The house dog. A sweet, soft Labrador Giya who made us feel at home. We lived right above this place and regret not coming sooner. Everything about it is genuinely wonderful.

Really too bad we couldn't eat here the day before, they were fully booked for the first round. So we booked for the next evening. The dishes are great ! Tasty and good as tapas should be. The gamba's were so good. We got 5 big ones. We also ordered patatas bravas, chicken sticks, fried potatoes, an appetizer excisting out of bread olives, Spanish sousage and cheese, beef slices and fries squid in batter. All in all verry good. The portions are fair, I mean it is tapas. Price quality is good. The drinks are not to expensive compared to the rest of the boulevard. They made a dessert for our doughter on our request. They had that on their menu. The service is considered and nice. We had a really great and enjoyable evening. After the bill, they treated us with a drink from the house. If you like tapas, this is the place. They also have a sweet dog chilling inside on her mat. Hey buddy, you come here to pet me, sure go ahead. I love it. Keep up the quality and ambiance, awesome and respect!

The food was very delicious. I had asked for some special requests. They asked the kitchen and then came back with positive feedback. Will definitely visit again! Muchas gracias a la Cosina!

The food was ok, a bit rich but plenty to choose from, the service was excellent and right on the beach.

The view was nice, and the service was good, but the food could be better. We were with two, and one had rumpsteak, which was literally cold in the middle. It had to be sent back which led to us eating separately unfortunately. Also the plates were a bit boring; you order a steak, you get nothing but a steak and blank patatoes.

(Translated by Google) A good restaurant in L’Escala! The setting is pleasant, with a superb terrace ideal for enjoying the sun. The service is both attentive and fast, and the dishes are tasty for an establishment by the sea. As an added bonus, the waiter who welcomed us spoke French, which is appreciated by some. The value for money is excellent. The only downside: the tartare, which lacked finesse, looked more like minced meat than a real tartare cut with a knife, with just a small egg. Despite this, I highly recommend this place for a good meal with family or friends. (Original) Un bon restaurant à L'Escala ! Le cadre est agréable, avec une superbe terrasse idéale pour profiter du soleil. Le service est à la fois attentionné et rapide, et les plats sont savoureux pour un établissement en bord de mer. Petit plus, le serveur qui nous a accueillis parlait français, ce qui est appréciable pour certains. Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Seul petit bémol : le tartare, qui manquait de finesse, ressemblait plus à de la viande hachée qu'à un véritable tartare coupé au couteau, avec un simple petit œuf. Malgré cela, je recommande vivement cet endroit pour un bon repas en famille ou entre amis.

(Translated by Google) We visited as a large family with five children and four adults for lunch and felt at home from the very first moment. The menu was also available in German. The service was extremely attentive and courteous. We were particularly impressed by how naturally and professionally our gluten-free diet was accommodated. When the salmon was served, a waitress immediately announced that it was the gluten-free dish (because we had ordered salmon three times), which simply gives you a good and secure feeling. Especially for a child with celiac disease, this is not something you can take for granted, and it really made our visit to the restaurant easier! The meal itself was truly delicious! We received a small greeting from the kitchen beforehand. The main course was also perfect: The food arrived for everyone at the same time, which isn't always the case with a larger group. All in all, a thoroughly successful restaurant visit, for which we would like to express our sincere appreciation! (Original) Wir waren als große Familie mit fünf Kindern und vier Erwachsenen mittags zu Besuch und haben uns vom ersten Moment an wohlgefühlt. Die Karte gab es auch auf Deutsch. Die Bedienung war ausgesprochen aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns, wie selbstverständlich und professionell auf die glutenfreie Ernährung eingegangen wurde. Als der Lachs serviert wurde, sagte eine Kellnerin direkt, dass es sich um das glutenfreie Gericht handelt (weil wir 3 mal Lachs bestellt haben), das gibt einem einfach ein gutes und sicheres Gefühl. Gerade für ein Kind mit Zöliakie ist das keine Selbstverständlichkeit, und der Besuch im Restaurant wurde uns dadurch wirklich erleichtert! Das Essen selbst war wirklich lecker! Schon vorab gab es einen kleinen Gruß aus der Küche. Auch beim Hauptgang stimmte alles: Die Speisen kamen für alle gleichzeitig, was bei einer größeren Gruppe auch nicht immer der Fall ist. Alles in allem ein rundum gelungener Restaurantbesuch, für den wir ein großes Lob aussprechen möchten!

(Translated by Google) One of the best restaurants in Riells, value for money, with exquisite tapas, a wide and varied menu, top-notch fish and seafood, as well as meats with an impressive steak tartare, delicious breasts and a cheese cake with ice cream to lick your fingers. And if at sunset you see the sunset over the bay of Roses in front of you, a 10 in everything!!! (Original) Un dels millors restaurants de Riells, relació qualitat/preu, amb unes tapes exquisides, una carta àmplia i variada, un peix i un marisc de primera, a l'igual que les carns amb un steak tartar impressionant, uns magrets deliciosos i un cheese cake amb gelat per llepar-se els dits. I si a sobre al capvespre veus la posta de sol sobre la badia de Roses davant teu, un 10 en tot!!!

(Translated by Google) Spectacular. We had garlic shrimp, noodles (coquinas), and a seafood platter 🦞... And we're delighted. We'll definitely be back. The place is beautiful, right by the beach, the food delicious, the perfect amount for two people, and the staff super friendly, attentive, and professional. I recommend it 100%. (Original) Espectacular. Hemos cenado unas gambas al ajillo, unas tallarinas ( coquinas) y una tabla de marisco 🦞... Y estamos encantados. Repetiremos seguro. El sitio es precioso, al lado de la playa, la comida riquísima, la cantidad perfecta para dos personas, y el personal super amable, atento y profesional. Lo recomiendo 100% .

4.3 Pleasant local, nice seaview. Very attentive service. A little taster plate to start - well prepared and tasty. We had a shared first course. They prepared a green salad for us off the menu. We tried a couple of duck croquetas as well. We followed with the carball ( fish) oven done. And the very good roasted suckling pig terrine. Acompanied with a glass of a Montsant claret. Dessert was a torrija, again very good. The portions were just right for us. Overall an interesting experience in a nice relaxed ambient.

Very good quality 👏👏 Amazing customer service 💯 (waiter's so professional) So beautiful view 🌊⛱️🏖️

Great food at afordable price. It's better to book in advance 'cause it's always full.

Quite simply the best restaurant in L'Escala. (IMO) Great service and lovely relaxed atmosphere. Stunning food dishes. Think of what you are going to get when you order, then be amazed when the food arrives. There's always an artistic twist to every dish. Not the cheapest place to eat but excellent value for money. A really nice place for a special occasion.

A delightful surprise an absolutely suburb restaurant with fantastic views. The Mousse de coliform must rank as one of the best dishes I have ever eaten an anchovies lovers delight. The 30 Euro lunch menu is fantastic value for great food and plenty of it.

Lovely food and very friendly service.

Excellent seafood and wine selection from the Empordà DO

Really enjoyed both the cannelloni’s and pig cheek. Lovely friendly service and was seated and served very quickly

We liked this so much we came back twice. My wife is Catalan and was impressed at the number of homemade style dishes, and also that they were presented in the regional style. We had xai (roasted baby goat) which was exceptional, and canelons (Catalan style cannelloni) which are an absolute must try. For the kids, we had a platter with a regional butifarra sausage, served with a fried egg, French fries and tomatoes. We also tried a burrata salad and calamari in a traditional sauce and bother were excellent. Desserts were great too with the lemon gelato being the sleeper hit.

Cal Galan 1966 is a beloved family-run spot in L’Escala that’s been around for decades. Known for their famous "galta" (pork cheek)—especially with creamy mushroom sauce and a side of eggs—this place delivers true casolana (home-style) cooking that warms the heart and fills you up. They also offer tasty house-made canelones, salads, and more, all at very reasonable prices. No reservations, so it’s best to arrive when they open, as it fills up fast during lunch. The staff are lovely, pets are welcome, and there are a few outdoor tables in the alley, perfect for a small group. Don’t miss their sangria—a great match for the food!

It was a real present surprise, the quality, the service and the food, felt like being home, the omelette canelonni was simple fantastic, at the end the price was 17 euros per person with dessert, simple and amazing food.

A hidden but beautiful spot in L’Escala. Traditional and simple dishes, but perfectly done. My ‘agneau roti’ was stunningly delicious. Staff is very friendly and cheerful.

A family restaurant that has been here for over 50years. Excellent traditional food, surprisingly meat rather than fish based Pig cheek is a speciality and definitely worth a try Three course lunchtime set menu €18 is good value Service was a little slow but the staff are very attentive when they are with you.

The best food I had in a long time. The restaurant is very popular. We arrived around 8 and were asked to wait 30 minutes for a table for 2. We were served drinks while waiting and got our table 20 minutes later. The food is excellent. The menue is relatively small but the items are prepared skillfully. Pork cheeks were so tender they fell apart in your mouth and the rare steak was on point. The starters were excellent as well. The wine recommendation was good. There is a broad selections of wine for your taste. The service is fine as well. While it might take a few minutes in busy hours the waiters do their best to help you select your dishes or drinks and make you feel very welcome. There is a broad selection of local spirits after dinner the staff is happy to explain and serve you as well. All in all it was a very pleasent experience. Both the food and the service made us feel welcome and we will return as soon as possible.

Went here on our first night in L’Escala and was thoroughly disappointed. Ordered a selection of tapas which was probably some of the worst I’ve ever eaten. The calamari was completely undercooked with soft, pale batter. We were then served chicken croquettes that were cold in the middle and garlic prawns served with burnt garlic. A really disappointing start to our holiday. Whilst we were given a discount on our bill after sending the food back, it’s safe to say we will not be returning. Would not recommend.

Very nice restaurant with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The tapas were absolutely delicious, especially the anchoas fritas, which I highly recommend. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the evening. Special thanks for the great music playlist and the perfectly made Aperol ♥️❤️‍🔥

Super friendly staff, amazing view, great food, and recommend the Cava sangria watching the sunset. Affordable price.

Great meal. Lovely ambience. Staff very attentive. We'll definitely be back!!

Wonderful view, great service and good food. The staff are always welcoming and happy to accommodate any special requests. The calamari is exceptional.

Dishes very good, nice view, good prices.

Great tapas restaurant with a wide variety of regional and traditional dishes.

White wine by glass was quite average compared to what I had at the other restaurants in the neighborhood. Fried calamari and garlic shrimp was ok but nothing special. The only dish that was above average was the pork cheek. The service was quite good.

Delicious! Fantastic! You'll never regret coming here for dinner! Local cuisine mastered to perfection. Super friendly staff! We are definitely coming back!

We had a disappointing diner. Paella was served with way to much liquid, it was nearly a soup. And the staff seemed pressed to see us go out again. Starter came almost directly after being ordered, only moments after we have got the aperitif. Paella was served right after that. The pan and my plate and most other things were already being cleared from the table while my wife was still finishing here meal. No time to enjoy your meal.

Lovely place to enjoy a nice time with friends while having lunch/dinner. We had the lunch menu deal for €11. We tried calamari and swordfish, they were both very fresh and tasty.

Family restaurant with amazing food in reasonable prices. Good menu, fresh ingredients. Nice one:)

Excellent value for money, clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant really deserves an excellent dinner based on fresh fish!

Very welcoming staff. Good location away from the main tourist streets. We had paella - which was great! Good value.

We had a terrific dinner last night .We were greeted and seated by the very welcoming (fellow Kiwi) Matt and enjoyed wonderful service thereafter . Great burgers and drinks. Recommend .

An exceptionally pleasant place to dine — lively surroundings yet a haven of tranquility. The service is attentive, professional, courteous, and personal. A delight. The cuisine is consistently excellent. Very good products – an authentic Mediterranean approach to culinary philosophy: only as much is 'cuisinéed'' as is necessary, allowing the ingredients to shine. This is efficient, authentic, and simply enjoyable. It also demonstrates confident mastery. In addition to the hotel's already praised service, the restaurant is highly recommended. I will repeat the experience as soon as possible!

Absolutely the most amazing food that we had in L'escala. The menuu is perfect in its simplicity paying attention to flavours and quality. We enjoyed the duck and pork ribs for a main and the escargot and local anchovies as a starter and it was DIVINE. As was the dessert and regional liqueuer. AMAZING

Great food, very comfortable setting inside and on the terrace. Very efficient service. Great recommendations from the owner. I ordered a steak and it was perfectly done, very delicious. They specialize in grilled food, and they have a good variety well executed. The restaurant was full but the wait staff managed everything very well. Would love to come back when in l'Escala. Consider making reservations as they get pretty full for dinner.

A hidden gem just off the main path Taverna de la Sal gave us one of the most meaningful dining experiences we've had in Spain. The food, drinks, and prices were all excellent, but what made it unforgettable was Matt. He sat with us, shared his story, listened to ours, and reminded us what real human connection feels like. In a sea of rushed, impersonal service, he's a gem. There’s a beautiful hotel upstairs we hadn’t even noticed, but the heart of this place is the sense of community. Warm, generous, and authentic. Skip the tourist traps. This is where you want to be.

Tasty food, very careful and polite service, best Sangria. The owner of the restaurant was a very friendly guy, working side by side with his team. Keep on!Very recommended!

Loved everything. Service was excellent - especially loved meeting another kiwi in Spain. The food/drinks were spot on. Ka pai!

We loved sardines here and the place and atmosphere is really good. If you are here, try Paella and sardines.

Really really enjoyed our night here. We came with our baby and had a paella. Lovely food and very friendly staff. The owner has owned the restaurant for fifty years! Will definitely be coming back hopefully with my family when they’re iver in ictober

Food is always delicious and fresh, staff are kind and friendly, always approachable and chat with customers. Enjoyable energy and atmosphere.

Great spot for having lunch. Very nice food and quick service. We came without a reservation and they still made room for us!!!

Lovely food. Great service. Definitely recommend.

A great restaurant with a perfect view across the water. A formal restaurant with great and attentive staff. A big selection of wines and a wide selection of meat and fish dishes. An overall great experience!

Fantastic food and service, thank you. We will be going back 👍 Update Just been back and still great food, service and atmosphere 👍👍👍

The pizza's are great, nothing wrong with those. But beware of the calamari a la romaro and the cannolini. The calamari were undercooked, the batter was still liquid inside. Not very tasteful to say the least. The cannolini for desert were at least 1 year old: the filling was dry and like shifted butter. The outside cookie was soft and leathery like. A shame to serve this to your clients. And you are served by a gentleman in a black jacket, not very admospheric...

We had some very nice pizza. From bacon to veggie. Everybody like it. We only had pizza's so cannot judge the other dishes. Staff and service was quick and friendly. Will definitely come back here.

Tasty pizza, the maxima was very good with pickled cucumber. Unfortunately, the margarita was burnt and my children didnt enjoy it. They where extremely busy, so quality can be affected but a pizziola should not let a burnt pizza into the pizza box.. I worked as a pizza chef myself and would remake the pizza and apologise for the extra wait.

Outstanding pizzas with a lot of different options. If you don’t like pizza there also is a pasta menu. Recommended to make a reservation with large groups. Reservation on Friday to Sunday not possible.

The best pizza i've ever had in my entire life. Never have i tasted such greatness before. Amazing!! Authentic ambient and very friendly staff. You really made our night!

First class service and the Pizza was delicious. Recommend the one with Truffle oil. One of the best pizzas I have had. We will return.

Can only comment on the pizzas- just excellent, if you like hand formed, thin crust and wood fired.

A totally unexpected exceptional experience at this lovely restaurant. Annette and her team are welcoming, knowledgeable and efficient. The chef is on-hand to discuss the delicious food and explain how he is cooking. A good wine selection at reasonable prices.

A gorgeous family-run restaurant. Eating here was a highlight of both my visits to L'Escala, 5 years apart. Second time round I chose some of the same dishes as my first visit as they lingered long in my memory. As a semi-Swede I love that they offer Sweden-inspired dishes as well as delicious Mediterranean fare.

The owner is very nice and friendly, her origin is Swedish and the character of the dishes is also rather nordic, which gives an exclusive and excellent taste to it. It is definitely worth a visit! No calories bombs, but absolutely well and thoughtful combinated dishes with perfect taste and texture. Unfortunatly the full menu is not always available but they have alternatives and inform about them.

It was great. The food was excellent so as the atmosphere. If possible recommend to visit the restaurant!

Every year we have diner here and every time it is the best. We will be back very soon.

Great dining experience. Interesting menu packed with flavours. I can highly recommend the delicious cold soup with anchovies. Only downside was slow service, although the owner has came to apologise and explained they where understaffed.

Great place at the center of l’Escala managed by a nice couple and providing creative food. Probably one of the best value for money in the area with a nice and casual service. Can’t wait to try the new tasting menu next time I will be there.

Amazing octopus and ribs! The Sangria was also delicious, our meal was better than some Michelin rated restaurants in Barcelona. Thank you David for your great service!

Food was delicious and arrived quickly, staff were friendly but waited some time to order. Location is nice - right next to the beach. Atmosphere was lovely but a bit too busy for my taste. Drinks were wonderful and well made

Poke bowls normal and vegan, huge and tasty burgers, signature cocktails and nice staff. Totally recommend it for a fabulous experience

Nice location, but the food isn't very good, at least the vegetables. We had a bowl and a quinoa burger, and both were quite bland. The burger came without any sides, and we had to order the fries separately, but they were very nice. The service was good, but the concept was a bit confusing: one waiter took food orders, and another handled drinks. We wondered why we couldn't just order everything from one person. The drinks were great, and the prices were okay, but not cheap.

We would definitely recommend Waikiki. The food was so fresh and delicious. The waitresses were so friendly and helpful to provide a table with some shade.

Wonderful food, all homemade and cooked with love! Jordi is very welcoming and informative with the menu! I really recommend the “slow cooked egg, mash potatoes and veggies” dish! 5 stars! The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed! Will be coming back ☺️

a nice selection of cocktails and the poke bowls are delicious!

banging fish spot right on the port came recommended by a local winemaker. calamari to dream about great fish soup wonderful razor clams and a very decent organic cava to wash it all down! question mark over whether all the fish on the mixed plate were fresh but all in all a truly local delight :)

Fresh fish was not really fresh, it tasted like supermarket fresh fish or farm fish to the most. We complained about it but no response. Overall poor food and service

Casual usual spanish dinner overlooking the nice fishermans quay of the port of L'Escala. Much quieter than the city center dining area.

Friendly service, the seafood is great. Our kid got chicken fillet and fries. Too salty, especially for kids. The chicken was good tough. Our dishes existed of seamonk and gamba's. The seamonk was delicious, sturdy and tasty. The gamba's were a bit overcooked. The dish was also on the salty side of the moon. We got some bread on the side which was free of charge. I can recommend this place, just ask for less salt if you don't like it.

Abundant, quality fish & sea-food, but very expensive for Spain. Chipirones + parrillada de pescado (were both excellent) + 1 beer + 1 glass of wine (for 1 person) = 30€...The same quality (and better) can be found elsewhere for half the price. Usually very crowded too

Very good quality food. Not to pricey and the good was quick and the waiters were nice.

This the place for fresh fish in L'Escala. Chipirones (baby squid), clams and all Mediterranean fishes are there and perfectly cooked.

Food wise is definitely tourist food level, the calamari is tasteless. Their food quality level is only frozen food level. Service wise staff are efficient and friendly. Atmosphere wise is not bad for a drink.

We have been going to this restuarant for 33 years, travelling over the border from France for a day out. Even though it has cahnged ownership a few years ago, we have never been disappointed with the food, the staff or the service. A wonderful ambiance in this charming village.Gets busy in the summer but somehow, the staff always seem to be able to produce a table. See you later this year.......

Menus with pictures of the food in multiple languages scream tourist trap to me BUT we had a delightful dinner here this evening ..The staff and servers were beyond friendly and helpful and the food and drinks were fast . We enjoyed goats cheese salad, croquettas and cuttie fish , all delicious . Loved the service, food and location .

My favorite Restaurant in Sant Marti D Empuries since many years. The food is great, the fish is fantastic and the staff is always very friendly.

Our favorite place! We had a great time when we visit this restaurant! Incredible! (I don’t know how long a wait for a table since we always make a reservation. Better call for a table if not sure)

The waiter out front beckoned to me as if he knew exactly what I was looking for and that he could serve it to me. They have a full menu, but I was there for the delicious cappuccino and crepes. So good I went back a second time. ¡Que bueno!

Fair prices and good food.

Unfortunately the mussels were not properly cleaned while the calamari portion and the sole fish felt too small. However the staff were super friendly and attentive which in the area it is something hard to find. The location by the sea is also memorable.

Nice restaurant on the beach. We enjoyed the Paella and the Burrata salad, wine was cheap and very good. We later ordered Sangria de Cava, which was horrible and was left untouched, nobody asked us for a reason and we ended up paying for it because nobody spoke a word of English and it felt pointless to try to prove anything to anyone, which ruined the impressions of this place. P.S. We did go back one more time - Paella was as good if not better, Burrata salad was once again amazing and the service was in better English.

Had a really nice and relaxed meal with a fantastic view. Very friendly atmosphere and staff. Wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Food was bad…pizza tasted worse than the frozen ones from the supermarkets. We ordered patatas bravas but the sauce was a bit too greasy and the potatos dry.

We have been coming to Cala Montgo twice a year for 4 years now and we have tried every single restaurant in the area including La Escala and this place has the best food and service far superior to the rest. After 4 years visiting we find ourselves coming to this restaurant 90% of the time. Paloma the chef it’s outstanding in every way , adorable person, very accommodating in cooking your food as you like it and OH MY GOD TRY HER FILLET STEAK. We absolutely love her and all the staff that works there treats you like a family and going beyond their means to be nice. Thank you for everything ♥️

Good price to value. Paella was perfekt!

Really good food, better attention, astonishing views from the terrace

Very nice view, but only Spanish speaking. People are very nice here

The food was good, but the service wasn't that fast. You have several different options for meat and fish, but the vegetarian options are rather limited. You can look at salads, and I think there were 2 or 3 vegetarian options.

The food was fine, but the service was really terrible. First our friends were not allowed to go sit with us because they just wanted a drink, not food. They directly took our table away. The food was nice, but much to small for the prices. In the end, we couldn’t pay separately, even though we were four people who ate different meals. They forced one of us to pay for us all. I am really disappointed and we felt really unwelcome there.

Amazing, really good, with vegan options!💚🌱

lovely food and atmosphere! would recommend.

We were here during off season and enjoyed some really good pizzas and fresh pasta. Finished with really nice coffee.

Came mid-October, very nice food, very good coffee. Good service and just overall a nice vibe!

The location is great, but the food was mediocre. The plate was very basic and the entrecote was very dry.

Fabulous friendly service. Delicious tasty food. Lovely place. Price good. Will definitely return another day.

We come here a lot. It has the best views. Very well run and the food is just delicious.

Restaurant with an amazing location and views. Tasty food but a little limited menu. However the quality is correct and portions are generous.

I haven't been to this restaurant for 8 years, after they charged us 5€ for a glass of milf for my son. However I went again 2 days ago. I hasn't change at all, still average food for the expensive price they charge. I think I will avoid it for another 8 years!

staff were lovely. we both got carbonara and it was perfect

Great food, excellent service!

As a repeat customers libing locally we knew this was a 'quirky' venue due to the attitude of the staff but the food was great. Sad to say this time the portion of fish was half the size of previously and the service even worse than usual. Rude, dismissive, unintelligible and unwelcoming if you are not French or Belgian (even though we're in Catalonia/Spain) we felt very unwelcome, it was almost laughable how rude they were - seemingly a father and some team? - and absolutely won't be back, and we shall tell our friends.

Very bad, made a reservation with friends for 4, there were people sitting at our table when we arrived because the restaurant allowed them to have a drink until we arrived. it resulted in us waiting 10 min standing until they freed our table, we waited another 30 minutes before getting the menu, because the staff isn't organised. We asked for water and the restaurant told us they didn't have any left!! So we had to go buy our own water at the vending machine near by because they were not able to provide us water. When the food arrived (45minutes after we ordered), one of the dish wasn't the one we ordered, and the staff was extremely pissed off when we told them we didn't wanted a dish we didn't ordered. Ultimately, we almost got kicked out by the staff requesting us to leave our table to go pay because they were closing (not our fault we had to wait so long to eat), and while waiting another 10 mins to be able to pay since they asked every table to leave at the same time and we had to wait behind other clients, we got asked not to stand in the way and to leave if we had already payed (which again, we were waiting in line to pay). The food wasn’t even good, to conclude avoid!!

We saw fish and chips were on the menu, so thought we would try them. They were good. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The meal too a while to come but that was because everything was cooked fresh to order.

We had high hopes for this place but unfortunately it was not great. Firstly the food was plentiful and delicious, a big plus. However, the service was bad, long waiting times, dismissive attitude and bad communication. Half the menu options were not available . As for the dining room it was overly loud and gloomy. The electricity kept cutting out. Get takeaway would be my recommendation! REPLY: I think you are mistaken. Nothing was ever explained to us. You certainly didn't offer is a free coffee.

We had a lovely lunch here today with our two dogs .. I had moules and Frites and my Husband had fish and chips .. the food was beautiful and hot when it arrived and I must say the chips were the best I’d tasted in L’escala .. Service was friendly and quick and we would definitely recommend it

Chicken Kebab and chips takeout took an hour. I appreciate it was reasonably busy, and we suspect they forgot about our order, but we were sitting there waiting. No apology, just started cooking it once we started asking where it was.

The place to be for Belgian fries, some great meets, and amazing burgers.

Lovely fish restaurant in a quiet road behind the seafront. Extremely fresh, well cooked fish and seafood. Absolutely delicious. Special mention for the outstanding mixed seafood plate but also the chipirones and the patates los compadres, which the owner told us are actually Patates d’Olot, and that her husbands parents gave them a new name when they started the restaurant in 1968 as people from outside the region didn’t know Olot! Highly recommended.

Highly Dissapointed!! We were given one side of tapas we didnt order, which were then put on the bill. Out of 7 people 2 of us were waiting for the main dish until the Rest of the group was already finished only to hear that the fish we ordered is sold out. It would be a nice gesture to take the wrongly served tapas dish off the bill After waiting for 2 main orders for over 20 minutes but the staff was really rude and disrespectful when we confronted them afterwards about our problems. We then ordered some else fish that was served with green beans. To be honest i have never eaten such horrible beans. Everything tasted like it was frozen and reheated in the microwave and the meat was cold when brought to our table. Fries were not salted, meat and fish not seasoned. We paid 8€ for the Tapas dish „Asparagus with Mayonaise“ which consisted of TWO cut in half pieces of canned asparagus and a side salad… We do not understand why this place has such good reviews considering the quality of the food.

Visited twice this trip, firstly for tapas and last night for mussels and grilled squid amongst other things. I'm learning Spanish and the lovely family staff are most appreciative and encouraging. This is a Spanish family restaurant and the clientele are almost all Spanish. It is only a couple of streets from the main tourist venues but could be a million miles. This is now a regular fixture for us, love it!

Great place to try tapas with sea food. Extremely good service, very kind, food of excellent quality. Ratio of price to quality much more above average. This restaurant is located at the smaller street, with less tourist traffic, so it is peaceful to eat. If I come back to the town for sure I will come back to this place as well.

Great staff. We followed her suggestions and do not regret it. The food was very good and the amount just right. Try the "sepia con albóndigas" and the mussels, both great. The rest was also very good. With service like this one enjoys spending time in the place. Will definitely be back soon.

Cheap and good "home cooked" style food. Nothing fancy but good quality. The mussels in particular were great (and you get loads). Dessert was a bit of a let down. Service was friendly and quick.

Amazing food, amazing service and local vibes! Definitely recommended 😋

The staff are lovely and the location is very nice, the food is not so great. Sardines in garlic and parsley were so overcooked they were dry and desiccated, and much too salty. Calamari tasted like it was straight from a freezer bag into the deep fat fryer. Patatas bravas were nice. Tomato bread was nice. Steak was fine. We complained about the sardines and it was taken off the bill.

Visited this place mid November. It was very crowded and loud so after a while we started losing the climate of the place. Then we waited for nearly an hour for our paella, and I assume we got it only because I've asked the waiter about it. And finally the food (both paella and starters) turned out to be really average. I recommend choosing some more local places bit further from the beach

Delicious food all round and very friendly service!

My buddy and have been backpacking through Europe and we stopped here after visiting the Roman and Greek ruins and it had a beautiful view and great beer and food we had two appetizers, and two entrees and I had a dessert along with copious amount of beer and wine and we ended the night at around 65 but if you drink normally then you should get out around 40-50 euro. Great restaurant a street performer even played some Louis Armstrong towards the end of our dinner over all great food amazing view and incredible service. Would love to eat here again.

The best tapas I've had in a long while, and the tastiest on this stretch of beach. Please try the calamari, spinach and gorgonzola croquettes and the cod fritters, you won't be disappointed. The waiters and waitresses were also incredibly friendly and gave us the best table on the terrace with a beautiful view of the beach and sunset. They even popped a candle on the cheesecake (which was also delicious) and we all sang happy birthday to my sister after I told them we were out celebrating.

Great place to enjoy tasty tapas. Beautiful view. We also came for breakfast and it was great as well. Friendly service and as well the menu in English. Will definitely come back.

Lovely place, good food, it is a bit tapas style. Very nice staff. Nice terrace

We had a nice lunch, with fresh seafood. You feel very welcome here :-)

The small sepias tasted good but had sand in them. Also, the plate was rather small for the asking price. As to the chipirones, again, a small portion and very dry. Disappointing quality of the food compared to nearby places. Service was rather minimal. Lack of enthusiasm to serve customers. Finally, they only had the wine list in catalan. We wanted to like the place but our experience did not come any way near our expectations.

Very disappointed in this restaurant. As soon as we came in, the waitresses were acting bothered and annoyed, like they didn’t want to work there. Regarding the pizzas, they use 1/4 mozzarella and 3/4 emmental (of what I understood) for their pizza, which means that the pizza essentially comes out burnt!! The first one was dark brown, which we sent back. The second one came back light brown. After tasting, we understood it was emmental as it was sweet (emmental burns in high temperatures but is cheaper than mozzarella!) We complained and got shouted at so badly by the boss! We explained that if it is the way to make pizza (as he was saying) and everyone likes it like that then he should put the ingredient emmental on the menu next to mozzarella and all others; that sent him in a rage. I suspect he understood that we knew he was doing that to make cheap pizzas! The bill came in half a second and we were made to feel extremely unwelcome! A.V.O.I.D (Photo is a simple margarita)

Good food, great service. Prices are fair, specially for pizzas. Our waiter Carmen was super nice, incredibly attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Thank you!

Just went there with my wife who wasn’t feeling all to well already. The service was extremely welcoming and nice, the food was delicious, happy to accommodate us with our two dogs. All in all it was a recommended experience! Thank you!

Great gluten free pizza and everything that's gluten free is marked on the menu. The dough was a little undercooked, but I assume this is because we arrived at their opening time so the pizza oven couldn't have been up to temperature yet so not a fault of the restaurant in my eyes!

Very good gluten free pizza

The mussels were à bit undrcoocked and the Rice of the paella was not well coocked. The icecream had small pièces of ice in them

We came here on a sunny day for an ice cream, but didn't like it. The ice cream I took was the "Blong Jhon". When we received it, the ice cream was almost completely molten away. This while my wife hers was really fresh. So there was probably something wrong with the timing. My ice cream didn't good either, in the end I just left some over because I couldn't anymore. My wife took the "Copa Crocant" which was good in taste, but not easy to eat. It was stacked rather high in a small bowl. We will not be coming back here for ice cream.

Really great tapas menu of the day... Awesome!

Local fish dishes for low prices. Make yr reservation before 7pm to be sure for a seat outside on 1st floor.

bad quality

(Translated by Google) Seven of us came, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. It took over an hour and 10 minutes for the first courses to arrive, and we weren't even served at the same time: the dishes arrived up to 15 minutes apart, which is unacceptable for a group meal. The quality of the food also left something to be desired: the mashed potatoes were cold, and the paella was more like a risotto, far from what you'd expect from such an iconic dish. The service was slow and disorganized, with no apologies or goodwill gestures. We won't be back and we don't recommend this place; there are much better options in L'Escala! (Original) Nous sommes venus à 7 personnes, et malheureusement, l'expérience a été très décevante. Il a fallu plus d'1h10 d'attente avant que les premiers plats arrivent, et nous n'avons même pas été servis en même temps : les plats sont arrivés avec jusqu'à 15 minutes d'écart, ce qui n'est pas acceptable pour un repas en groupe. La qualité des plats laissait aussi à désirer : la purée était froide, et la paella ressemblait plus à un risotto, très loin de ce qu'on attend d'un plat aussi emblématique. Le service était lent et désorganisé, sans excuses ni geste commercial. Nous ne reviendrons pas et ne recommandons pas cette adresse, il y a bien mieux à l’escala !

(Translated by Google) Disastrous... 1h30 wait for 2 poor dishes. The first of the mussels a la plancha which were in water without taste + 1 chipiros dish frozen in oil from last year. It looks like nothing...not fresh, not good...the dishes are served 15 minutes apart and without any accompaniment. The star is for the friendly waitress. To escape, a real trauma.... (Original) Désastreux... 1h30 d attente pour 2 pauvres plats. Le premier des moules à la plancha qui étaient à l eau sans goût + 1 plat chipiros surgelés dans l huile de l an dernier. Ça ressemble à rien..pas frais pas bon...les plats sont servis à 15 min de différence et sans accompagnement. l étoile c est pour la serveuse sympathique. A fuir, un vrai traumastisme ....

Local spot with delicious fideua. They have their own parking lot and the ambience is homey/welcoming. My boyfriend and I came strictly for the fideua as his sister loves this place, and I highly recommend it. The portion is generous and they give copious amounts of garlic aioli on the side to mix in. It was a high quality meal and one that would be good for lunch or dinner.

Amazing experience! For us the perfect end to our holiday in L'escala. The food as well as the service were exquisite and we left very happy. Also the athmosphere is amazing, it looks like you step into a museum, where the dishes are part of the artwork. We will definitely be back next time! ¡Mucho gusto!

Amazing food and service, one of the best seafood in the area. Recommend 100%

Best restaurant in L’Escala. Incredible restaurant, amazing service and the best fresh fish i have had in a long time. I strongly recommend it. The deserts are also a must! Food - 5 Service - 5 Quality vs price - 5 Ambience - 5 Best plate - the shrimps and the parrillada.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent.

Excellent food prepared to highlight its freshness, served in beautiful surroundings by a classically trained staff, again anytime!

Great seafood restaurant. We will come back. We ate in the terrasse and it was very nice

I ordered chicken fajitas and half way thru eating i found a long Black hair inside the fajita. I immediatly stopped eating and showed the waitress the hair inside and She took the plate and didn’t say anything. She offered to make a new plate with fajitas but i said no as my appetite was gone. When we payed they didn’t take chicken fajita off the bill and we had to pay full price for a hairy fajita. Extremely bad service and experience.

Nice enough location, we had a beer and tapas potato bravas and calamari. The service was a bit slow but friendly and the food tasted good.

Nice bar with beautifully presented cocktails. It’s a great spot to sit and relax. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the service was quick and friendly. A lovely place to enjoy a well-crafted drink!

I've come here all summer and every time we get amazing service no matter how busy they are. It's a laid back beach vibe but lovely food and the best mojitos on the strip!

Excellent food, great beer/drinks selection. Friendly, efficient service. Way better than other places in the vicinity. Don't hesitate.

Good views of the beach and bay. Typical tapas available.

Owners and staff very friendly and good service

We usually visit here every year on holiday and both me my husband and elderly parents went today. Restaurant is beautiful & exceptionally clean. The staff are all lovely & friendly and provide a very efficient service. The restaurant is disabled friendly and great large disabled bathroom with child changing facilities. The food was lovely and hot and served nicely. Finally the view which is just wow. It’s stunning & so special to sit in such a nice restaurant with such a fantastic view. Keep doing what your doing it’s perfect.

Everything was very tasty. Definitely an option for lunch.

Great sent email in English to book and was answered. Very nice setting and the meal was delicious

My one observation is excellent food, good menu but portions are far to big.

14 calamarrings for 11,50 euro :((((( crazy prices . We payed 30 eiros for nothing. Burglers. Verbrecher finger weg.

Very welcoming attentive staff. Food good. Thank you.

Rip off Mussels most of the shells were empty and no meat in the dish

I've been here four times over the last 10 years or so and it's always, and I mean always, great. If you like your food then this is a fantastic place to go. There are very few places like this in L'Escala. I see some reviews that complain about the prices. I went with my wife, and we had 2 evening menus, and a bottle of wine and it was 100. This is a starter, main, dessert and a glass of wine (plus the extra bottle we ordered). In England, it would be double. Highly recommended.

Absolutely best food experience in L'Escala. We had a wonderful dinner with the best catalan food on offer. It was a set dinner concept but with plenty of choices to choose from. The amount of food was just perfect to enjoy the experience. Served with good humour and a big heart. Would recommend without a moment of hesitation.

Staff were lovely and very friendly to me, my wife and our 1 year old. The snails for starters were delicious, galta for main was a bit average and small portion of mash. My wife’s chicken was good. Puddings were good. Wine was nice. My real problem was there is no kids menu, they charged us €15 for canelones and we asked for some fruit for desert (for our kid), they charged us €5.5 for a peach we had to cut ourselves. Pretty outrageous pricing!!

A gem - it's easy to get to and has a really pretty and calm outdoor seating area, the food are all simply wonderful (we really recommend the Catalan snails and the grilled whole fish), and the servers are incredibly friendly and welcoming! Really great dining experience

Nice place with simple but nice food. Place frequented by locals. Good price /performance. No sea views but has a terrace

Mery-Lou is a very friendly local who runs this cosy restaurant with her family. She serves tomatoes from her fathers vegetable garden. Cosy, sociable restaurant, with nice food where you feel right at home.

A slightly pretentious place with the dining room that is full of echoes. If possible sit outside. A Menu del Dia at € 25. If you order à la carte from the menu you quickly get there anyway. Fresh anchovies excellent and brought still sizzling in the pan to the table. Sardines also fresh and fried. One skate wing in caramelised a balsamic glaze was slim pickings. Each of these dishes was accompanied by the same smidgen of salad and purée potatoes. One desert, fruit del Bosque in yoghurt/cream was indifferent Total without wine €50 – not a great experience.

Worst dining experience we've ever had. We had hamburgers and pasta carbonara. There was an extra charge if you wanted a bun on the hamburger. The hamburger was far from worth the money. The pasta carbonara had no meat at all and the pasta itself was highly undercooked. We made a complained but nothing was done about it. We come to L'escala every year and we will never eat here again. NEVER.

Delicious food, I recommend fish dishes. Fresh and authentic from the nearest sea. Service is good. Good view, right front of the beach. The waiter (half English) was friendly and kind. we will come back. Thank you. You have to find a parking then walk for few minutes. walking is not too bad either as the street is totally for tourist. have lots of shops for window shopping.

Despite the waitress being very kind and helpful, the rest of the staff is not wearing mask and breathing on top of your food when cooking It. Moreover, when you ask them if this is normal (6people not wearing mask inside the bar and kitchen) they say It is their policy.... Food was below standards, i will not come back

We are tapas here and they were good. Saw the reviews on the diner options yet I can’t judge those. The tapas were good, staff very friendly and seating with sea view. Great lunch!!!

excellent quality and quick and friendly service. one of out favourite places to visit whilst on holiday. Fantastic location overlooking the sea and sand. must try the Alioli or the Prawns!!! Gracias.......dos fanta naranja!!!

Great service staff and the food was very good, same for the cocktails!!!

(Translated by Google) The setting is magnificent, the waiters friendly, but you feel quite watched. As soon as a drink is finished, for example, someone comes to take it away from you, which is quite annoying; it's one of the only flaws we have to point out. We ate as a group of 6. The children had carbonara and Bolognese pasta, which they quite liked. The portions are generous; they couldn't finish them. A small flaw: very little bacon in the carbonara. We had a pizza (which is made on bread), it was excellent, and also a potato omelet sandwich, a treat. For 6 (5 courses because we had a little one who ate from our plates), we paid 90.50 euros, including drinks. We recommend! (Original) Le cadre est magnifique, les serveurs sympathiques, seulement on se sent assez observé, dès qu'une boisson est terminée par exemple, on vient nous la prendre directement c'est assez gênant, c'est un des seuls défauts que nous avons à souligner. Nous avons mangé à 6 les enfants ont pris des pâtes carbonara et bolognaise, ils ont plutôt aimé, les portions sont généreuses ils n'ont pas réussi à finir, petit défaut : très peu de Lardons dans les carbo. Nous avons pris une pizza (qui est faite sur du pain, elle etait excellente, également un sandwich Omelette pdt, un régal. Pour 6 (5 plats car nous avions un petit qui a manger dans nos assiettes) nous avons payé avec les boissons 90.50 euros. Nous recommandons !
