Fantastic experience: Greatest experience while in beautiful Cadaqués. I had no interest on sitting in the pricey restaurants by the coast so I found this gem in the middle of the streets back in the village. The ambience is something else, the tables by the balcony are charming. The paella well cooked, pretty good. The fresh tuna we tried as a starter was also a hit. Everything great. Daily menu is around 25 eu each.
Fantastic experience: Saturday menu for just over € 20, little variety but very good dishes. Spectacular paella and very nice treatment.

Fantastic experience: Very good food quality. I highly recommend to call to book a table, otherwise will be difficult to find a free table, at least during summer season. I also think it's amazing they are "pets friendly", and you can go inside with your furry friends. Staff very friendly and very good service. They have daily menu with good price. At the end, the manager even invite us with a really good shot of limincello before we leave!! We will come back again with our dog!!
Fantastic experience: An exceptional place, not only for the food that has been exquisite, but for the place, cozy, and with a very friendly service !!!
Fantastic experience: Highest quality seafood; fisherman goes out in the morning and serves catch of the day in the afternoon. Do reserve in August, since all tables are fully booked continuously.
Fantastic experience: Very good! Super tender mussels, all well attached to the shells. Tender and juicy baked turbot. Secluded and very pleasant atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: My partner and I had dinner, cod fritters and baked turbot. The fritters very well prepared, tasty and delicate, and the portion well done. The turbot very fresh and well accompanied with potatoes and vegetables that melted in your mouth. In addition, the portion was quite good, and they left the tray for you so that you could serve yourself. The place is very nice and the waiters are very attentive and friendly.
Fantastic experience: 4 friends looking for a restaurant "acollidor". We found it! Good food, fish of the day ... Good value for money ... Very warm the restaurant, friendly people serving, pleasant surroundings ... I LIKED IT VERY MUCH!
Fantastic experience: Very good value for money. Very complete menu and fairly fast service. Small place, better to book. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Service of 10!!! Food and price more than correct I will return without a doubt! The reviews don't lie :)
Fantastic experience: The dining room of a very pleasant house made restaurant. With a very attentive staff and excellent cuisine
Fantastic experience: Great restaurant. The lady who attended us was super friendly. Great food. We went with two children 8 and 4 years old, we ordered two children's menus, one with croquettes and another with nuggets, all homemade and accompanied by chips and salad, their desserts also homemade, they have eaten it all! For the grown-ups we ordered the menu and the delicious paella, the Catalan cream as well. Site Highly recommended. We will be back!
Fantastic experience: Excellent, good service and great product quality.
Fantastic experience: Excellent restaurant in Cadaques. Very good food, fresh fish and homemade desserts. A wonderful balcony and the terrace even more. The waiters are all super friendly. I highly recommend !!
Fantastic experience: In Cadaqués you will not find such a cheap menu, value for money 21.95 (without drinks). Crab rice has a lot of power! They are very kind
Fantastic experience: Local, very nice, good food, spectacular paella, monkfish, with prawns, homemade Catalan cream, cheese cake, from the menu, And, lamb, great
Fantastic experience: The tasting menu is very complete. All very good! If you ask for it, go hungry!
Fantastic experience: We had already gone and we did not remember having eaten so much and so well. The tasting menu (they call it "descobreix") is very convenient if you want to try (almost) everything. Very nice and helpful waiters. The place is beautiful. CALL to reserve, you will not regret it.
Fantastic experience: Very rich food and great attention
Fantastic experience: An exquisite lunch at a good price, it is better not to book the balcony table in August for the heat everything else perfect
Fantastic experience: The tuna carpaccio was surprising, very good. The house wine as usual, weak. A value for money appropriate to the site in which it is located
Positive experience: The experience is unique. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. It is true that it is an expensive experience (for my taste), but it is worth eating in a good place in a place like Cadaqués. If you go to Cadaqués, it's a great place to eat....
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Excellent attention. They suggested a rice with prawns and scallops, with orange aioli. A wonder of rice. Really exquisite. I recommend booking, it is always full.
Fantastic experience: Lovely little place. Excellent fish. Excellent personal treatment. To repeat for sure !!!
Fantastic experience: Regarding the opinions on the price, we paid the right price 3 menu 21.95e and the other dishes no bad surprises very good quality paella as well as my other dishes no complaints
Fantastic experience: Fantastic atmosphere, lovely staff, and paella that can't be beat! We will be back!
Fantastic experience: I do not put more stars because there is no, very good food at a good price. They are very friendly, without a doubt when I return to Cadaques I will go to eat the fantastic rice.
Fantastic experience: The cozy restaurant, very beautiful, careful attention. Lovely owners. The main thing is the great food, high quality, excellent preparation. I recommend it is a place to visit, we will return for sure.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful, very very well attended and very well explained the dishes off the menu, it is inside the town so you do not see the beach while you eat, but it is very worth it and to see the beach you can then have a few drinks , as I did when I left ,, a tip if you go as a couple ask for dinner on the balcony is very nice
Fantastic experience: We have arrived without a reservation and we have found a table to eat, better to reserve because it was quite full and perhaps that way you can get the tables on the balconies. We found the menu very good, the tuna carpaccio was so good that we have been wanting more. Something that has been solved when the paella arrives, very good and well stocked with octopus, fish, mussels, prawns, etc. Very good desserts too. We also liked the place, the decoration, the space between the tables and the attention. The most normal of all has been the coffee
Fantastic experience: Fantastic! We have spent a beautiful evening at Es Balconet. The cuisine, market, with local products, all very fresh and delicious. Staff recommendations regarding the menu and dishes of the day are appreciated. The place, although small, is very nice, you feel and they make you feel at home.
Fantastic experience: Fast, efficient and pleasant service. Varied menu. The dishes are very good. We loved the anchovies, the croquetas were to die for, the fish a la plancha was excellent! A good address
Fantastic experience: Little gem in the center of Cadaqués. You need to reserve and, if you do it in advance, maybe you can ask for one of the 2 tables on the balcony. We ordered the € 20 / person menu (without VAT) and the paella was delicious. The starters may vary according to availability and the dessert perhaps the weakest part of the meal. Overall, hearty and very good food.
Fantastic experience: Recommended 100%, all great. Exquisite black rice. Fast and very attentive service.
Fantastic experience: THE BALCONY OF DELIGHTS !!! We have been following other people's opinions about the restaurant and we are often right !!!! The place is charming, the service is very good and the food is simply wonderful !!! The first thing I want to highlight is the service, we go with a baby carriage to a place that is small in itself and which is accessed by stairs ... well, NO PROBLEM !! They kept the car for us in the warehouse and prepared a chair with a lift for the little one. We reserve a table on one of the two balconies that they have, which with the bougainvilleas that they have on the railings, make the rincocito a wonderful place to eat and relax (see the photos). We opted for a menu for the two of the menu (see the photo). That day they had as "soup of the day" Gazpacho (photo), which was ... incredible !!!! We also took the tuna carpaccio (photo), which was also sublime and of course the Paella Es Balconet (photo) which is simply WONDERFUL !!!! Served on a side table that is attached to the one where you are sitting, they plate the first service of the paella with you and leave the rest to you to consume it at your own pace at your leisure. The paella of course ... SPECTACULAR ... very abundant and of exceptional quality, every euro paid for it was worth it. For desserts we opted for Catalan cream (photo) and lemon mousse (photo), both homemade and like the rest of the food, spectacular !!! In summary; If you go to Cadaques you cannot miss going to Es Balconet and trying Paella because it is an experience in itself !!! In my case, if I return to Cadaques, without a doubt, I will repeat !!!
Fantastic experience: Delicious meal in charming ambience. Wonderful evening!
Fantastic experience: Very nice dinner on the balcony. The wine was great and the food was the same.
Fantastic experience: At 12:30 pm we were the first because the Spaniards eat later. Really delicious meal, the croquettes, the tuna carpaccio and the black rice were exquisite, the perfect wine (we won the unfinished btle), smiling and pleasant service in French. Go there with your eyes closed, with the budget to please yourself anyway (it's worth it). 100 € for 2 people here.
Fantastic experience: TASTY !! Without further description, we asked for the daily menu, but I was looking forward to the tasting menu! In the photos: tuna carpaccio, cod fritters and honey aioli and monkfish wok for main! GOOD
Fantastic experience: Charming place. Great black rice and very good treatment. Recommended.
Fantastic experience: M'eeencantaaaaa !!!! Brutal, CUQUI in all its senses, charming, quality cuisine served and accompanied by the same taste of attention. From crockery to decoration. From the vegetable soup and what cod fritters !!!! You have to taste the Amazing Truffles
Fantastic experience: Very nice restaurant in the center of Cadaqués. We did the menu they offer and were very satisfied with the quantity and quality of the food. The rice was very good and the service and the treatment of the staff was excellent.
Fantastic experience: Nice and cozy restaurant. The food is very good and the price is reasonable.
Fantastic experience: Super very nice address, I recommend menu at 21.95 With paella and marinated tuna salad
Fantastic experience: We had an excellent evening! Thanks for the service and the cooking! we strongly advise you to book the discovery menu: a concentrate of local specialties served with great kindness.
Fantastic experience: Menu at 22 euros per head. Very good value for money. Dishes a bit limited due to the situation of the pandemic but what we got was very good.
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant welcome the dishes, from starter to dessert are very good. I recommend without restrictions
Fantastic experience: Menu of 21.95 € plus VAT with a starter and second paella and dessert ... Everything is delicious! Highly recommended. It's a small place so it's best to book, if you're lucky you can order a table from the two balconies that have ...
Fantastic experience: Lovely place, we ate paella and it was very good. Very attentive staff!
Fantastic experience: We were eating on the balcony and we were very comfortable as it was not a very hot day. Very attentive waiters and very fast kitchen service. We ate paella and it was delicious, as were the desserts (clulant and lemon sorbet). We recommend it.
Fantastic experience: We went for dinner, the service was great and super attentive, I made a reservation 2 months in advance and I imagine that I commented that we were coming to make the anniversary, because they made mention of us. Dinner, we ordered tasting, and everything super delicious, to highlight ceviche, buñuelos, rice. I come back fixed. Thanks he balconet
Fantastic experience: Very nice restaurant, located in a street in Cadaques, a small dining room very typical of the area, top quality products prepared with great care as well as the attention of the waiters and the owner of the restaurant. We ate an impressive rice from the gentleman like everything else crayfish Tuna tataki and Catalan cream for dessert. Very good very good family! We will recommend you without a doubt congratulations !!!
Fantastic experience: Very good tapas, a quality restaurant and excellent service. A very good local beer. As a couple, count 50 € without wine or dessert but frankly it was enough and above all quality products. Good address
Fantastic experience: How to regret the decision to go upstairs from the street without much charm. We spent a very pleasant evening away from the bustle of the port. Our hosts were very warm and the cuisine was a very pleasant surprise: torte (rock fish) and lobster accompanied by the wine produced by the chef. Be rewarded for walking up the streets far from the seafront and climbing the stairs to the 1st or 2nd floor to dine on a flowered balcony.
Fantastic experience: A very nice place, with a small but cozy dining room. You can book in advance, which is very important and the food meets what it promises: abundant, fast, rich, etc. On the other hand, the person who receives you is very friendly, as is the waiter from Belgium (but from Madrid) who has treated us very well. Unlike his partner (the "moñete") who has an attitude and unfortunate comments in front of customers. So, we totally recommend this restaurant and we will be back for sure!
Fantastic experience: Rice dishes are great! Also de frituras de Bacalao were so yummy. Service is also great...
Fantastic experience: Super grear
Fantastic experience: Simple Catalan intimate homely small family restaurant. Very special, lovely people who want you to enjoy your visit. Food is excellent, home made. It's a memorable, simple experience. Well worth visiting
Fantastic experience: Excellent meal - impeccable service - speak french spanish english catalan - quality - paella with cuttlefish ink to die for - aioli revisited with delicious honey !!! Go there with your eyes closed
Fantastic experience: Delicious. It has several types of menu including tasting, but we opted for paella since we wanted to try the rice in the area. The rice was spectacular, at its point and with great flavor. For the kids they had a menu with homemade chicken nuggets that were delicious. We ate at a table on one of the balconies and we were cool despite the heat wave. The treatment by both the owner and the waiter very good, recommended us very well and made us feel very comfortable. Price according to the area.
Fantastic experience: Great!!!!
Fantastic experience: Fabulous. A very friendly atmosphere. We took a paela, and the quality and quantity was at the rendezvous. The service is very caring. The frame is very nice. I recommend it to you, as much as that of l'escala.
Fantastic experience: Very good address on Cadaques. Reservation required because small restaurant. The fish is delicious like other dishes elsewhere. A real treat for the taste buds.
Fantastic experience: All very nice, spectacular paella! Friendly service, high price but you pay quality.
Fantastic experience: What a treat! We knew this restaurant via Tripadvisor ... A bit remote compared to all these tourist attrations at the edge of the harbor. We booked for 4 (I highly recommend it - at least the day before). Welcomed by the Boss, who speaks a little French OUF ^^ We ate maxi gambas to fall, Iberian pork with peppers full of flavors & bu sangria memorable with a very good wine that the boss makes himself! Placed on the balcony (hence its name) half outside, half inside a small room (in terms of the world) or you can eat quiet and without fuss. Waiters who have humor and watch. We were not mistaken. thank you, We will come back...
Fantastic experience: Superb restaurant where we offer, in addition to the map, local fish according to the arrival of the day. Staff very friendly and attentive. The children's menus are of quality, the monkfish has much more to our children who were offered an additional portion gracefully. From carpaccio of tuna, to paella to chocolate dessert, everything was delicious. In short, a very warm place where the smile, the freshness of the food and the quality of the dishes make a very pleasant time. I recommend of course!
Fantastic experience: 100% recommended. A cozy place, quiet intimate and with pleasure. We went without reservation we asked for the menu (choosing a very tasty paella with fresh second-hand product) accompanying it with an author wine that they advised us personally (very fine and exquisite) and the experience was great, to repeat; something we will try to do whenever we visit Cadaqués again.
Fantastic experience: We went to dinner one day by chance and we liked it so much that we returned the next day. They have a very good product and the dishes are cooked with great care. The tuna and mackerel tartare, the fresh fish, the tasty rice and the very fine lemon dessert. The site is also very cozy. A site with these characteristics is appreciated in Cadaqués, where quality and price are consistent.
Fantastic experience: With prices somewhat more contained than in some sites of the first line of the sea in return you receive a very good product worked with great care. Both the waiters and the owners, who are also there attending, are very endearing people. We will definitely return.
Fantastic experience: Simply super. We went for lunch. The whole meal was just extra. Tuna tartare, then Paella home. A small local white wine associated with all this. Do not hesitate when you are in Rosas, to come here. There are more beautiful walks to do.
Fantastic experience: All great and highly recommended. The perfect deal and very attentive. The wine made by the owner, both white and delicious red. Congratulations on creating such good wines, and I hope you get the same or better futures. A greeting.
Fantastic experience: I found it in a guide, they left it very good and we went to try it. The truth is that everything was delicious and what surprised us most was the black rice. Here they put a twig of thyme and burn it. Then they put everything together and give it a touch that it had never tasted before, it is impelling. Here I leave some photos of the process. I recommend it 100%
Fantastic experience: A very friendly and attentive service. The food was very good and the paella delicious. They made us a good wine recommendation, for the little ones in the house there were also options and the dessert was homemade.
Fantastic experience: Well, many things to comment, we went for the recommendations of a website, and the truth is that I do not disappoint, we went with the idea of trying a rice but in the rest we let ourselves be advised. They do it great, the treatment is great, you can tell that they enjoy what they do, all very well explained, the house wine that they recommended was great, they had great details, really beyond the food that is why one It goes and is delicious, I recommend it for the attention.
Fantastic experience: An excellent little restaurant! Difficult to find a point to improve ... First surprise: the very good basic menu at 22 euros (exceptional tuna carpaccio starter - very good seafood wok - see photo - basic but good dessert). A la carte very good sea bass, perfect cooking. Hats off to the kitchen! The service is also very friendly. This explains why it is necessary to book to take advantage of it. If you do it early, you can even hope to be on the "balconet"! We highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Amazing dining experience I proposed to my girlfriend here and she said yes. Cadaques is also so beautiful!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service, great food. Perfect for a romantic setting off the beaten path.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place!! We were able to sit on the balcony and we were very comfortable. Great rice !!
Fantastic experience: We were very well received at Es Balconet, the plates are well prepared, very good dishes, the staff is good advice (I recommend their wine). The setting is charming with a little jazz music that goes well. PERFECT.
Fantastic experience: Excellent table Very welcoming and caring French speaking staff. Half cooked tuna and yogurt ice cream accompanied by chardonnay are excellent surprises for a dinner for two. Without a reservation before 8 p.m. you can try your luck.
Fantastic experience: We loved this place. Pretty ambiance and delicious food. We ordered seafood and stone fish stew and it was amazing. For my 4yrs old they prepared fish with rice and salad and even kids food was amazing and healthy. Great service and friendly hosts
Fantastic experience: Really nice place with good ambiance and great food
Fantastic experience: Excellent place for this restore. Fresh fish and high quality service ...
Fantastic experience: Absolutely delicious fish soup and paella. Accidentally had the menu del dia without even knowing what it was and got blown away by the excellent seafood dishes. Desserts were slightly disappointing but overall still 5*
Fantastic experience: Excellent place, quiet, good treatment by the staff and great raw materials. Ideal for couples looking to share a relaxed evening
Fantastic experience: Small and cozy restaurant, fabulous food and at a price according to quality and service. Very attentive and kind to customers. The balcony tables ideal for a quiet meal.
