“ One of the best restaurants in Cadaqués. Better to book in advance for a table at least the day before. We ordered "navajas" (razor clams) eith a teriyaki sauce. Don't be scared if they are still.moving a while as they cook it just after they day to leave the freshness in you mouth. Later some "tallerinas" which are like little clams in the grilled with olive oil and parsley. Don't miss the "pa amb tomaquet" (toasted payés bread with rasped tomato, salt and olive oil). The "arrozes and fideuas" (rice and noodles) in the menu ar quite big, so expect that is for 2,5 people,even if they put for 2. What you see in the photos is fideuá with red local.gambas,.cooked in the sauce of the gambas and with a carpaccio of the same gambas. Just one word: delicious. ”

“ We had a fabulous meal here! Great service and the freshest ingredients! I feel so lucky that we found this place for our one meal in Cadaques. It made the drive and long wait for parking worth it! ”
“ I give it a 4 more in relation to the service and atmosphere than the food. The servers were so kind and accommodating and gave us seating in back of restaurant where we could be alone away from the ‘maddening crowd’. We ordered the Zarzuela, escalivada and pan con tomate. Although the fish was very fresh, we were a bit surprised that it was a bit bland and could have had much more flavor. It may have been an ‘off day’ for the cook, but for the price we expected a bit more flavorful food. Wonderful little restaurant, however, and we really appreciated the service. ”
“ Amazing dinner with a pleasant atmosphere and excellent service ”

“ So many fish options all fished and caught that day by local fisherman. So many yummy dishes and not enough tummy space to try them all. Small langoustines in garlic butter, rice dishes. ”
