We went for dinner here last Friday after visiting L'Horta twice last year as we very enthusiastic…read moreabout the quality of the food. Again we were not disappointed. The restaurant is primarily of not exclusively populated by Spanish guests, something I always like when hunting for good places to eat. The restaurant doesn't have a website...that's a great way to keep the foreigners away! Thankfully they are more focused on cooking good food than advertising their restaurant. What we especially liked was how the cook combined fresh fish or meat with vegetables or fruit - refined without being too playful. Certainly recommended. Off the beaten track.

Amazing location with perfect view of the beach/ costa. Great service. Menu is Catalan seafood. The…read morebest plates were octopus, navajas and the oysters. They bring complimentary olives "chupa dedos". The star of the day was the tiramisú, done in a unique way as a mousse and with plenty of liquor. For main plate we got the turbot and we didn't love the taste but sounds like it is an appreciated fish in the area.

Great price and quality tapas at L'Escala seafront. Worth a visit! Haven't tried the burgers or the…read morerices, but this Catalan is surely approving the tapas, specially the anxovies and the homemade deserts!

It sits there, plain and low, not made to be noticed but known, just above the shimmer where the…read moreland gives way to the old and salted Mediterranean, not a view one sees but remembers, as though the sea had always been there in the corner of the eye and only now was it looking back. They do not serve a menu here so much as they offer what the sea, in her unknowable rhythm, has seen fit to give--wild fish, caught with no certainty but with some ancient trust, and then laid in an oven, not buried but baptized, no ceremony, no pretense, just heat and salt and time. The people here, the ones who move between the tables with the ease of those who were born not to serve but to welcome, carry none of the gloss or polish of cities but the slow, weathered kindness of those who have stood on docks at dawn and know the names of fish by the sound they make when caught. It is perfect, yes, though not in any way that perfection is usually spoken of--it is not designed, it is not orchestrated--it simply is, like the tide, like memory, like a place you return to before knowing you ever left.

This place was part of our food tour with Paula, a local who grew up in Girona …read more. We had the three meat cannelloni with bechmal sauce. It was our favorite food on the tour. We went back after the tour and bought vermouth from here It was very good for €9. We had to buy ice and an orange from a supermarket down the street Her shop is very warm The rest of tour went to five places and we had a bikini (grilled sandwich with prosciutto and havarti), cheese and wine, croquette, and tomato bread. Ended with a Xuixo pastry.

Fabulous spot! Started with coffee and ended up staying for lunch. Salad was bright and fresh and…read morespinach cannelloni was excellent. Service was great, also. Highly recommend.

One of my favorite meals on my trip to Barcelona/Girona!…read moreJust flat-out excellent, simple, mid-priced food. You know it's good when they don't have an English menu (they have waiters who speak English to translate). Pre-fixe menu - I think it was like 12 euro for a 2 course meal, and the 16 for 3 course, and it includes bread, and a drink (wine/beer). CAN'T BEAT THAT! And, on top of that, outdoor seating in a cute little square. I opted for a goat cheese and fruit salad which was clean and fresh, just what I wanted after pigging out for multiple days in Barcelona. Beautiful presentation, too. Husband opted for the beef stew, which was, not AMAZING to me but I don't really care to order beef stew. However, I will say that it's executed exactly how it should be. The standout, however, was a mashed potato with tuna. Never had anything like it before and with the mix of tuna, light mayo, olive together with the mashed potato.. it all just. WORKED. Like, how have I not had this before?? The chocolate mousse dessert was AMAZING. Super rich in chocolate flavor and texture without feeling heavy or oily. How?! So good.. I will remember this dessert forever :) The chocolate cake was whatever. I would definitely return once I'm back in Girona again!!

Great restaurant for traditional Catalan food!

All the options on the menu sounded so good that it was super hard to choose. The melon I ordered might be the best melon I've ever had, and the ice cream a friend ordered was quite good too. The staff is really friendly, and the general atmosphere is welcoming. Total find.

We had a late lunch after playing on the beach. We started with a beautiful and delicious slice of seared chèvre on a bed of arugula, endive, and other baby greens and garnished with pumpkin seeds, raisins, and a raspberry vinaigrette. The paella was wonderful as was the grilled dorade. And the dessert - strawberries in chantilly cream - so simple so yummy! The service was very nice - so very warm - they even brought us a chupito - a glass of their local digestive liquor with the check!
