Fantastic experience: Yummy!!!

martin baillard 02/08/2021

Fantastic experience: Superb experience. Unfortunately there are a few flaws ... However overall this restaurant is well worth a visit, by the way, on the trip to Platja d'Aro, we went there twice. However, remember to reserve so you can eat there, otherwise it will be full, for sure! I do not recommend the rare marinated beef because it will not be hot in the middle. Nor the pincho pirata which will be too salty. Still, don't hesitate when it comes to the gallows or tomahawk, which are delicious. For dessert, if you have room left, I can only recommend the chocolate truffles, or the fresh pineapple. Either way, don't hesitate to give it a try! I'm already salivating at the thought of coming back to Platja d´aro, and eating at Don Quijote again.

Fantastic experience: Very tasty. Smooth operation. Very cosy.

Jean-Michel DRION 01/08/2021

Fantastic experience: Very good restaurant located in a small discreet street between the main artery and my sea wall of Playa d'Aro. Grilled meat specialties. Terrace in an interior courtyard with typical decor. The "gallows" is a dish of ultra tender and tasty beef, flambéed in front of your eyes that red meat lovers must absolutely try . I go back there every time. Reservation strongly recommended.

Jhonnathan Vargas 02/07/2021

Fantastic experience: We have loved the place and the food. One of the dishes was a little undercooked, they changed it without any problem. Very good treatment and pending that everything was fine. The only thing to improve by saying something is that it started to fill up and it was a bit difficult for them to get to everything, but it is the most normal thing in the world on a Sunday and in Platja d'aro. We will return without a doubt

Fantastic experience: Fine Argentinian restaurant. Reservation in high season is recommended. The price of the dishes is a bit high for Spanish standards. But the quality of the menus justifies this. It is certainly good to stay in the garden.

Dominik Baki 01/06/2021

Fantastic experience: I know Don Quixote from my childhood. With my parents and my brother I was in Playa D‘Aro for 2 weeks every summer and during these weeks we had dinner there more than once. For me it was always a highlight when the waitress came to the table with the long skewers. The meat is tender as butter and the seasoning is phenomenally delicious. The flair of sitting there in this secluded garden with palm trees and flowers everywhere, the smell of grilled meat and other delicacies sizzling over the open party. The visits there are deeply burned into my memory and when I came across the restaurant today more by chance than intended, I involuntarily got goosebumps and felt transported back into the past. I can only recommend everyone to eat there and enjoy this flair there.

If my review helped you, I would be happy about a like.
