Fantastic experience:
Supposed to be just a simple stopover in my day, stumbled upon it a bit by chance, the El Grec restaurant is my best experience in this city. I must admit that I was totally won over by all aspects of this restaurant. It is a journey, a taste and human experience. You will find your happiness through the varied and traditional Mediterranean menu, with fresh and quality products. But also in the kindness and availability of service. Welcoming, friendly, and prompt is how I would define staff. It's flawless in my opinion. 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Incredible food. Best feta cheese salad I have ever had and the fideuá and Greek octopus were insane. We then ended with the cheese cake which was the best I’ve ever had. If we were staying longer than 2 nights we would’ve have gone again, but will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: Place is super cute and the food is great. We dined at a table outside and it was perfect. We had the Greek Salad (tomato, cucumber, olives, feta, and plenty of amazing olive oil). Next was the octopus; lovely. Then we shared the crab paella (crab, sea urchin, razor clams, vongole clams) which was also excellent. Everything was very light, but very flavorful.
Fantastic experience:
An experience that must be tried and repeated.
Translated from Italiano
Fantastic experience:
We loved, waitresses very friendly, cook at the top. And dishes that were very good.
Translated from French
Fantastic experience: What a beautiful experience. Several of the dishes we were served rank as the best of that particular dish, that I've ever eaten. The grilled calamari, the clams, and the spanokopita were each the best I've ever eaten. The grilled calamari had a surface browning which created almost a roasted flavor and was incredibly tender. The Spanokopita was very spinach forward and the buttery garlic flavours were fantastic. I don't really like clams usually but their garlicky rendition we're impossible to complain about. The service was also excellent as was the value.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place, the chef is the owner and the food is as delicious as he and his staff is warm and approachable. They offer great local wine, a cozy but elegant setting, and quite affordable prices.
Fantastic experience:
From the fish market to the restaurant! A perfect place to taste the flavor that the sea of our Mediterranean gives us. Very good service and very well-suggested recommendations.

Homemade food, fresh and delicious. Very good anchovies with natural tomato from the garden, a delicious ntakos, fresh fish that when we arrived they were still unloading it from the fish market and a very very good Greek octopus. A dessert also homemade and typical Greek. We are very satisfied, we will repeat without a doubt if we return to Cadaques
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
A small restaurant but with exceptional service and quality / price for my opinion, the fish which is what we tried very fresh and at its point
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Mediterranean food with Greek touches. Charming place (you can see that it is carved into a rock in Cadaqués, just like its streets), with decoration of boats and divers. The owner is descended from Greeks who came to Cadaqués to work. The fish they offer of the day is fresh and you see how they make it for you (the kitchen is open) and the rice with sea urchins is special (like the octopus and the Greek salad as a starter). They have the famous Cadaqués tap dipped in burnt rum as desserts (I personally don't like it because I don't like things soaked in burnt alcohol, but people who like these things love it). Friendly service, whenever we come to Cadaqués, we go. Average price € 30-40 / person.

The most delicious seafood / rice that I have ever tasted, and by far (I know, they are bigger words but they are). We discovered him for dinner on our trip upon arrival in town and couldn't resist going back for lunch the next day. Great service from the owner. We also tried the steamed mussels, very rich. But rice is a Must. / Best rice with seafood ever! If you visit Cadaqués, do not miss this place.

Fantastic experience:
Cozy site with a corner carved out of the rock. Sea urchin rice is an exclusive dish to try. Creamy and with an intense sea flavor.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
We liked this place because it departs from the typical tourist restaurant and the clientele is the people of the village and visitors of the country. Although it has Greek décor it only has a Greek dish and dessert but we recommend 100% rice with sea urchins and fresh fish of the day.
