Or Llotja (as written in Catalan)…read more On my little day trip to Palamos, my friend insisted that I must hang around to check out the fish market. It doesn't open until after the day's catch is hauled in - so at around 4:30, the boats start unloading their hauls. One of the biggest food scandals in the United States lately has been about fish fraud: cheaper fish being sold as their more expensive cousins. But this isn't an issue (fissue?) here. You are getting fresh fish, and it's all whole, so you can see what kind of fish it is (as opposed to the filets or steaks that are sold in American super markets). I'm not the biggest seafood fan, but I was definitely impressed.

I tried to add this restaurant and found it under this name when I checked the address…read more Name says L'arros &.... New number 972 606 979/638 151 553 Hours of operation : Lunch 1pm - 4pm Dinner 8pm-11pm Wednesday closed all day Tues open for lunch only. Came by this place since it was close to where I was at that time.. There seems to be so many good seafood restaurants in this town. I've been to different restaurant in Barcelona with similar style. But this place preps the dish different style and full service.. The restaurant was very clean, stylish and friendly staff. You pick the seafood, they weight it front of you and cost to cook the style you want. I ordered 2 fresh oysters. Lady helping us said it was her favorite kind/imported from France. $5 a pop so ordered 2 only . Ordered sea urchin, baby clams cooked with garlic and parsley. Also ordered the lagosta arrossos caldosos style.. I was told it was like paella but more soup style.. Only thing I was not happy with was that they had to split it and make it into 2 order which ended up costing 80 euro. But I was in a splurging mood so I decided to go for it. Also ordered fried calamari. So for starter bread.. Seems all the bread main in Spain is yummy. Ordered beer and water... First came oysters and sea urchin.. Oyster was definitely good.. Nice plump size and fresh. Sea urchin was different than one I'm used to. Smaller size but more sweet and less irony. Fried calamari was also yummy. Nice tender and the breading was just right. Baby clam also fresh clean and full of flavor. Now the main dish.. It came in a bit bowl and it reminded me of gumbo. I was bit disappointed to see that it basically had double amount of all dente rice. So one lagosta split in half double amount of rice for 80 euros. This could have been made one serving for 40 euro but that was not an option. But over all it was good. First time having lagosta (weird looking lobster). I think I would have preferred prepared it grilled. Now to dessert.. Order tiramisu and xuixo de girona (was told Girona dessert). Tiramisu in a little cup.. Omg.. I have to say this was one of the best tiramisu I've ever eaten.. Soooo melt in your mouth, I'm in heaven dessert. The other one looked like fried egg roll sprinkled with sugar. Inside was cream I'm told. That was also yummy.. Nice crispy outside and inside was warm, sweet, and bread pudding texture.. That was also yummy. Over all it was good experience and food was yummy.. I would definitely come back here again.

Wish I had more time in Girona. Passed this place on my way to a Game of Thrones walking tour and…read moreit did not disappoint. You're able to order the seafood you want from the counter. We got 2 uni (sea urchin) which was like 8 euros and both tasted different, scallop, seafood risotto soup, octopus and oyster. Everything we had was delicious. The seafood all tasted fresh and would come back here again if I ever find myself back in the beauty town of Girona.

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I was in Gruissan for a week and I ate at…read moreLa Cranquette 5 times because I love it so. Wonderful food, incredibly nice people in a beautiful little town. Have the smoked foie gras if it is available. Also if tellines are on the menu, you must try. So good.

You'd probably expect great quality seafood in a little fishing village like Gruissan, which La…read moreCranquette delivers in spades. But it sets itself apart from others in the town by being a bit creative too - Sardines on a profiterole with Wasabi, for example is truly awesome, while Cuttlefish Cassoulet isn't half bad either. Also thoroughly recommend the Razor clams and the best mouelleux Chocolat I've ever had! Prices are pretty good - starting at EUR7ish for a starter and EUR13 ish for a main. Menus change depending on what gets caught that day, which can only be a good thing in my book!

A wonderfully fun place to stop for lunch while visiting Sète. This vibrant indoor food market is…read morefilled with fresh and local offerings, including fruit stands, bakeries, pastries, seafood, cheeses, and a full bar serving delicious drinks. One of my favorite sights was seeing so many women working as butchers. Fun fact: Many butchers in France are women. When you first walk in, it can feel a little overwhelming in the best possible way. There is so much to look at that you almost do not know where to begin. Despite the bustle, all of the local vendors were warm and welcoming, and the prices felt very fair for the quality offered. During this visit, I picked up the following: ~ Lopez House -- 5/5 stars. I sampled one of their artisan tapenades and ended up purchasing a four-pack sampler because I could not decide which flavors I loved most. ~ Tielles Cianni Marcos -- 5/5 stars. I ordered the Tielle Sétoise, one of the local specialties that Sète is known for. This traditional pie, filled with octopus and spicy tomato sauce, was absolutely mouthwatering and deeply savory. ~ A spicy beef empanada from another stall that was equally delicious, although I unfortunately cannot remember the vendor's name. After making your purchases, you can head to the back seating area to enjoy your food, or grab a table outside or near the vendors and relax with a glass of wine or a cup of café. Whether you are looking for a quick bite or hoping to soak in the lively local atmosphere, this place is an absolute must-visit. It is wonderfully unpretentious, with a vibrant energy created by the passionate merchants proudly sharing their specialties with visitors.

This place is legit! It's small and it's super busy. We got turned away two times for dinner due to…read morenot having reservations and it being super packed. Today we decided to give it a try for lunch, we were lucky enough to get a table for two. Everything they brought us was good. Little fried fish, bread, meats and olives were all complementary and so tasty. We ordered the paella and a pitcher of sangria to go with it. It was tasty, full of meat and seafood. The service was excellent and the mother / guessing owner of the place has a great personality and makes sure to connect with all of her guest... even though I couldn't understand a word she said

The sangria tastes sweeter than most but not sweet where you can only have a cup before its too much. We came for the paella and it was everything you could ask for. The service was outstanding and its seems to be family owned. Enjoy this place, it is worth it.
