Some friends brought me there last Friday and it was a discovery. The product is quality and the service friendly and professional. We tasted the salmon tartare, the mackerel based on corn, coconut and curry and the ham croquettes. Special mention to the mini-magnum of duck foie, pistachios, chocolate and maldon salt, and to the dessert, which we found spectacular. We will be back!

Fantastic experience: This is the best restaurant at the coast of L'escala! This is by far the best restaurant on the coast of L'escala. A very cozy setting, ample space in beautiful decors. The staff is very customer friendly and helpful. You get a menu according to language. The staff even speak a decent word of English (which is not the case in most restaurants). They work with very fresh products. The plates are always nicely decorated. We ordered different tapas and they were all delicious. Top notch: the freshly prepared ham croquettes. The price is also great. Tapas, drinks and desserts for 5 people: 90 euros. We love to come back here every year. Congratulations to the entire Gros team!!

Fantastic experience:
This is a place located very close to the beach and with quality products. Fast and polite service. They don't have a menu but you can share dishes and there are different prices. Correct wine list and the white of the house you can choose in glasses, more or less fruity. Today there were zamburinyes, very good and with salt aside to eat to your liking. We tried the rice and it was a hit. Almond ice cream, very creamy and tasty. Good restaurant in a charming village.

A nice restaurant located near the beach, resulting in a panoramic view ... nice staff and fast service ... excellent value for money, recommended

Fantastic experience: All very well organized, good food and served fast and well.
Fantastic experience:
We were looking for a place to celebrate the anniversary and the truth is that we were not disappointed. It is a restaurant at the foot of the beach, with a generous acclimatized terrace, although we ordered inside. The interior is cozy and with a personal attention that is appreciated, without being overwhelming. We ordered a tuna and salmon cheese and tataki salad, along with curried meatballs. Cheesecake for dessert. The best, for my taste, wine. We let ourselves be advised and we picked up a local red wine. All for € 56, two people.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
A good place to have a good lunch. The rice with cuttlefish and prawns very good. The menu is pretty good although it seems more traditional to me than creative cooking. The service is very attentive and both the terrace and the interior rooms are comfortable.

Fantastic experience: We have been here since it opened 6(? Maybe longer) years ago and it has always been the standout place in L'escala. Fresh specials a serious wine list and frankly superb service. Shoutout to our waiter tonight (I didn't get his name but he was from Ecuador and had glasses and was lovely) and the proprietor who has been so helpful with my disabled father before. Do go here if you want something different from the normal fare.
Fantastic experience:
Restaurant with vegan options of great quality and right price. It's hard to find places where there are more than salads and this place offers a small section of the menu with starters as well as main courses and desserts. All very good and with a service attention of 10! We went there with our 8 month old baby and they put the high chair on us and also cleaned it twice (the little one does BLW and eating hummus looks like Picasso). The only part we didn't enjoy was the weeding and cultivating. Still I give it 5 stars for the quality and service!

Very good discovery. We went in because we thought it was a nice, nice place and the dish menu looked good. Everything we ate was delicious (tartar, carpaccio). They also adapted to my gluten intolerance with some toast, which you don’t find everywhere. Attentive and attentive service, as it should be everywhere. Thanks!

Super super everything !! I had a great time with the waitresses, super nice and with a lot of self-confidence. We had a good laugh with his super powerful mega wasabi! In life I tried one so strong, I liked it so much that I asked the brand to buy it. I asked for advice for a dish that was hesitant and it was right, powerful galta that filled me a lot. It is great to see the staff coordinated, with joy and who treats you well. The dishes are as if you do it at home but more original, the powerful tapas with flavor, fresh and with good product. The main dishes fill and leave the premises with a very good taste in the mouth. The correct prices for the great of the evening. I loved it.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Super quality food

Fantastic experience:
We have gone to dinner several times with my family, and we have always had a pleasant treatment. The value for money is good too. This last time we had to wait half an hour, even with a reservation, but at the end of dinner the owner of the restaurant gave us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience caused. The staff are very attentive and pleasant and we found it a great touch, how we will always return.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Amazing meal at a very reasonable price. We've come here for a few years now and are never disappointed.
Fantastic experience:
Perfect! We ate octopus, squid and paella. Very rich everything! Special mention for rice! They had recommended it to us and it didn't fail. Good ubication. And with a very reasonable price for the location. The attention was also very good both by the waitress and the hostess. The wait time was correct. If it failed, they did not serve us bread or ask us if we wanted to, but the truth is that we ended up likewise, we did not have a dessert.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Surprisingly pleasant restaurant with an extensive and exciting menu. Eventually eight selected tasty dishes with tasty chardonnay. Caramelized pork ribs and beef tenderloin with foie gras were there 2. Beautiful thing and we sat outside in the nice sunset and sea views. So it's a great whole!
Fantastic experience:
Delicious food!

Fantastic experience: Polite and efficient service and pretty good food. They also had craft beer. Decent prices.
Fantastic experience: The food was very good and we paid the right price for it, which is rare in a touristic area like this one. Even the pasta was good (as italians we are very picky about it!). The staff is amazingly kind and accommodate every request. We will come back!
Fantastic experience:
A deal of the best I've ever received. The staff a 10 and a great attention. No hurry to close, very nice, fast ... everything is perfect. The prices very very well, popular. And large portions. All very nice and a great variety of wines. A very nice and quiet atmosphere. Ideally, I'll be safe again.

Fantastic experience: The sashimi would make a Japanese restaurant proud, with proper wasabi rather than the usual stodge. The baked sea bass was simple but perfect. Tolerant service in English for the vegetarians - a rarity
Fantastic experience: Very good! Clean and fantastic food
Fantastic experience: Great vegan choices. Amazing atmosphere and food is delicious, highly recommend. Been twice already and will be returning. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Very nice bar / restaurant good service . Outside seating area plus chill out area inside . very nice food and wines . Lovely place to spend time as a couple or a crowd of friends.

Very careful dishes, quality ingredients, good presentation. Carmen and her team serve you and explain the dishes in detail. I recommend the rices, the tuna sashimi, the sea bass with truffle, the cod with beans, the salads. Enjoy the taste. We are back. It has not lowered its quality. Keep looking and getting to please customers. Creative, very good presentations, kindness and good service. I recommend booking. Two shifts at noon, one at 1pm and the other at 3pm.

Fantastic experience: It's our go-to option when visiting l'Escala. We have been going here ever since it opened and we have never been disappointed, not once. The food is delicious, served beautifully and at a great price and everyone is very kind and helpful. I definitely would recommend it to everyone. I specially love the croquettes and the pasta, all the sauces are finger-licking delicious
Fantastic experience: Delicious food! Loved everything we tried! Came for 4 days to L’Escala and all dinners spent there. Also they have very friendly service :)
Fantastic experience: Great vegetarian and seafood options. The mushroom raviolis and the honey aubergine were divine. Also, get the grilled peppers. I ordered most of the vegetarian options and I would say only the vegetable rolls were disappointing- filled with frozen veg. Great sangria as well. Lovely, friendly service.
Fantastic experience: Very good service and tasty food! Thanks a lot for nice time including beautiful sunset
Fantastic experience:
Very nice and cozy place, despite the volume of people serving you the dishes very quickly and very well made. Nice and attentive staff. 5 tapas, and one for bread with tomato and cava sangria, € 25 per person. Excellent location on the waterfront.

What more to say: a treat, from all points of view! the welcome, the service, the quality of the tapas and dishes, the value for money. We were 10 friends and Grop was unanimous: We liked it so much that we booked again for the day we left. And we will come back to the next stay, that's for sure!
