    We've been coming to Tossa de Mar for many years, and this was one of the best meals we've ever…read morehad. Among the four of us, we ordered the prawn appetizer, bread, sangria, lamb, grilled sea bass, Beef Tenderloin Rossini, and flank steak. Every dish was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional without being intrusive. The view was incredible and made an already wonderful dining experience even more memorable. We will definitely be coming back. I made a reservation in advance, and I'm glad I did because the restaurant was completely packed. It's obviously very popular, so be sure to call ahead and reserve a table. Highly recommended.

    This was one of the tastiest restaurants we tried on our trip by far.

Delightful staff. It appears that the owner takes all the Orders from the tables. He is truly from Naples and makes some delicious dishes. We started out with a mixed salad that had incredibly fresh ingredients. I had the salmon timbal which was awesome. Or main course we shared a sausage and mushroom pizza that was made in the style of Naples. Prefect! All of that coupled with some wine and a delightful digestivo at the end made for a wonderful meal Many thanks to the wonderful staff and would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Tossa di Mar.

    Vegans and veggies - check this place out. Here's your lunch…read moreoption. Green salad and veggie paella. I split this with my 8 year-old for lunch and it was the perfect size. Salad is mixed greens, carrot, tomato, cucumber, onion and walnuts. Light and healthy. Good starter. Note - salad normally comes with átun (like our tuna). Make sure you ask for it without. Veggie paella is rich and filing. Made with asparagus, zucchini, red bell pepper, and fava beans. Add a little lemon - it really brings out the flavors. Note - paella takes 20 minutes and is worth the wait. Also note that it comes in a paella pan, but since we split one, they brought in on separate plates. Service is excellent, food quality is great and it is an easy stop going to our coming from Sa Caleta - just up the steps and through the castle door onto the plaza.

    I can only give this place a one-star rating. The reason for it is, that i ate there in the summer…read moreof 2018. The food was really good there. Sadly the food was terrible almost one year later. I ate a tomato and mozzarella salad as a starter. On the menu the mozzarella was labeled as buffalo-mozzarella. i doubt it was buffalo-mozzarella though. It lacked the lightly sour taste it normally has. For the main course I ordered the mixed grill plate. When it came the plate and the food were cold. They reheated the plate and the food in the microwave. They didn't remove the french-fries what caused them to have the texture and the feel like a limb dick. (you know what I mean). The meet was worse though. It was chewy, bland and i couldn't really tell what meat came from what animal. I suspect that they grilled it and then just reheated it. The worst thing was that my chicken leg had been burnt. I scraped of the burned places and tried it. Now i at least don't have to wonder anymore why people don't eat charcoal. Just disgusting. I really love meat but i was considering converting to vegetarianism. What a waste of meat. The animals had to give up their life for this meal. What a waste of life. I wouldn't be so angry and disappointed if i hadn't eaten there a year ago and knew that they were capable of cooking great food. I also have to add that the price was no were near of being acceptable. My disappointment was immeasurable and my evening had been ruined.

    You can't expect lot of vegan options at an Argentinian steak place, but they do list a number of…read morevegetarian options on the menu. We opted for the Greek salad (no feta), spaghetti with tomato sauce* and baked mushrooms. Spaghetti wasn't bad. I'd say 3 out of 5. Pasta wasn't overdone, but sauce was pretty basic. Salad, well, you can't mess up a salad (actually you can), but this was fine. Again, 3 out of 5. Pretty basic. Mixed greens, cucumber, grape tomato and black olives. Mushrooms were actually the highlight. Tasty and firm. Just missing a little salt. I'd actually recommend getting the spaghetti plain, mixingit with the mushrooms - and maybe the tomatoes - to create your own dish! Overall, 3 stars is more than fair from a vegan or vegetarian perspective. A little better service or any suggestion of an effort to accommodate us and we might have considered returning if anyone wanted to eat here again. As it stands, we'll either try to talk them out of it or just eat somewhere else on our own. *we asked for the pasta with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. The waitress got offended, asked (in Spanish) if we expected them to prepare it that way. When we responded in the affirmative (also in Spanish), she told us she'd just bring the ingredients to the table so we could do it ourselves. So we opted for the tomato sauce....

    I love that there are so many nice vegan friendly restaurants here in Barcelona, and Teresa Carles…read moreis one of those spots. I previously ate at their sister restaurant Flax & Kale and found that experience to overshadow my time at Teresa Carles. I was definitely familiar with many of the overlapping menu items and decided to go with their rotating lunch special for that day's meal. I started with their gazpacho which was flavorful and a nice treat on a hot summer day. Afterwards I received my vegan kebab which I found a bit underwhelming. The pita felt too soft and there wasn't much of the actual soy meat they used compared to the condiments. It felt more like a TVP crumble on top of soft bread. I did enjoy the vegan pudding dessert to end the meal however. Since I was leaving on a flight, I did end up ordering one of their veggie burgers and fries to go, and I found that to be much tastier than the kebab that I had at the restaurant. Despite the 'okay' lunch, I still enjoyed the experience and am glad there's an extensive vegan scene here in the city.

    This was recommended to us by someone who worked at our hotel whose brother is a vegetarian. We got…read morethere on a Friday night and we were seated right away.

    Wow did we have an amazing burger here. We decided to try two different burgers on the menu. One…read morewith Wagyu and the other with local beef. Surprisingly the local beef won hands down in my book. We started off with Tomato Bread and Jamon Iberico. Just keep ordering both these things where ever you go in Spain and you will be happy. I couldn't get enough of either, and for sure you can't get tomato bread in the states. Crusty bread with olive oil bringing it back to life and tomato and garlic rubbed all over it, The Wagyu burger had a nice slab of melted Brie, caramelized onions, and fig balsamic. A tried and true flavor profile. The beef was sure juicy, and we would have been happy with this burger if we hadn't tried the local beef The Local Girona Beef Burger topped with havarti, lettuce, tomato, and egg cream (basically a rich mayonnaise). This was a dry aged burger, although not advertised as such. And very dry aged. Spain uses mature cows that can be as old as 14 years old. As such they have a much more robust flavor than American beef which is usually only 1-2 years old. The tomato reminded me, how delicious a tomato can and should be. Don't miss this burger here. BBQ Pork Flat Bread with pickled onions oregano , and melted provolone. Pretty tasty, but perhaps the least memorable of everything we ate. We did enjoy it though. Just goes to show how good everything else was. Brots de Vi is a cute spot to grab lunch, and they made us feel right at home fixing up a table where normally they wouldn't have had one, so we didn't wait too long. And for sure the servers had to walk around where we were seated, kind of half blocking the doorway. But they insisted that if we didn't mind, they didn't mind. Very friendly service and excellent food here.

I was relieved to see the chalkboard outside that said "Meals All Day." The thought of coming from the US and getting a burger here seemed so silly to me, but when we walked in, the sight and smell was too convincing. The fresh Girona beef was loosely ground and flavorful, so, no regrets! There was a little bit of an issue with flies trapped inside, we probably should have sat outside. Wine prices were good!
