El Racó De La Xeli: Reviews
Positive experience:
We come to this restaurant every year. A really bad paella, overcooked rice, 2 small pieces of very tough meat, cooked and recooked prawns. It was a reheated paella. What a pity. However, the staff is nice.

After a warm welcome, we spent an excellent evening around well-prepared dishes. The sangria is good there, accompanied by cod fritters, a real pleasure. In short, I recommend this establishment where people speak French as well as English or Spanish.

Fantastic experience:
Excellent address, simple, healthy and tasty cuisine at unbeatable prices. An absolutely exquisite seafood paella. Small anecdote which suggests that this restaurant catches the clientele, the manager of the neighboring restaurant, while I looked at his menu, allowed himself to make criticisms of this restaurant, I found that rude, too I wanted to test it. Well… no regrets !!!

Go there with your eyes closed! French manager, almost everything is homemade (right down to the burger bun). All the tapas (we tasted 5) are excellent (little extra for the cod fritters)!

Quality tapas, impressive treatment, distance between tables respectful of the COVID issue. The bravas are very good and everything shows that it is homemade, we liked the pasta with seafood. The staff is attentive and fast. Very close to the Dali museum and we did not have to wait for our table, everything was ready at the time I had requested. We will repeat to continue testing the letter.

Fantastic experience:
A place in Spain where French and Spanish menus intersect, all homemade, with good products (I recommend the cheeky combination of Gambas sausage and its homemade potato-apple-fruit mash). French people who want to eat something other than a quick bite will find their way there, almost like at home, and for a very reasonable price. On the other hand, if you confuse zucchini with cucumbers ... Go your way (private joke for the boss).

Fantastic experience:

Going to visit the Emblematic Figueres, the birthplace of Dali, walking through its alleys and with quite a hunger, in the middle of 2 good restaurants I found this special corner, at the moment I was attended by the owner who instantly offered me the specialties, being a tradition the Dishes from the Costa Brava, were mussels in cream and chives, with some potatoes the dish of my choice, noting not only the good seasoning of the place but the noble heart of the owner who prepared a dish for a homeless person who came to talk to her, really my respect and admiration !!

We chose this restaurant for a tasting of surrealist tastings. An interesting menu, with good product and excellent elaboration. The service is very attentive and friendly at all times. Since some diners did not like beer, they kindly offered us to take the unpublished ones that were included in the menu at the time of leaving in order to request another drink. Good value for money.
