08/2016 Super friendly operations. Food was always very good and of course you can't beat the location. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone. There is nothing better for families in the Pals region. Children can play in the sand and mom and dad can relax. Special praise for Mani. 07/2018 This year we were again in Platja de Pals and of course several times in Mar Blau. The food was always great and the waiters (including Mani my friend) were all nice and very friendly. My family and I have unanimously decided that this is our favorite restaurant on the Costa Brava, and I've seen quite a few in my 25 years of vacation in Pals. I'm already looking forward to next year and my beloved mussels! Thank you very much - I can only recommend it! 08/2021 This year finally vacation in Pals again and of course ate several times at Mar Blau. As always, the food was delicious and all the waiters were super-nice. Due to Corona, the tables are further apart. We will definitely come back again!

The site is very good with views of the beach. There was a little air running, it was wonderful. Quality price, the truth is that it is not bad there were 5 of us with some starters, salad and a black rice for 4 about € 30 each.

Fantastic experience:
It is at the foot of the beach, has a very attentive and professional staff. They are aware of everything you may need. It has a bar area and two terrace areas and an indoor area for eating. It is accessible for people with reduced mobility. Very very good food, great quality at an adequate price and with variety. I recommend the squid for tapas and some rice to eat. There are many food options for children. Sw can park in front, there is paid parking or in the surrounding streets where there is a blue zone. 100% recommended, it shows that it is a restaurant with a tradition of years and hard work by its employees. The fish is fresh and of quality. Perfect to celebrate something or to rest after a morning or afternoon at the beach.

After reading the comments, we decided to go not entirely convinced. In fact, to say that the experience has been very positive. Some first-class frying, seafood paella and some other dish. Everything with a high note, except for some broken eggs that were set. Very correct care, and reasonable price. I would definitely repeat
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Good place to eat a black rice in Platja Gran de Pals. The attention of the staff is very good and fast. You can eat indoors, on the covered terrace or on the open terrace (for the bravest, because of the sun that falls????). Price according to quality and quantity and for the place (100€ black rice for 3, squid a la romana as starters, 3 desserts, sangria, nestea, beer, water and cortado). Recommended to book.

Super friendly waiters and a great place for a beer or to eat. We ordered black rice and both quantity and quality were great! I'm a vegetarian and surprisingly the vegetables were super well done (it seems simple but it's not easy to get, especially in a place on the coast). Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Nice restaurant and open all year round.

Fantastic experience:
The Mar Blau deserves 5 stars just because of its perfect location directly on the long sandy beach of Pals (if you sit outside, your feet are in the sand). The hosts are attentive and friendly and the fish is freshly caught. One of the best paellas I've ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot). A reservation is recommended, but we always got a table after waiting a maximum of 5 minutes. It was definitely worth the wait.

An extensive menu able to satisfy all palates, young and old, the courtesy of the staff, the sound of the sea a few meters away, the beach next to the table.

Although expectations were low, as the score was 3.9, and it looked like there were few people, it was a very pleasant surprise. The spectacular seafood paella, one of the best I've eaten and at a very reasonable price, right on the beach of sticks, and almost in the sand. We will be back for sure.

Fantastic experience:
The Mar Blau restaurant is probably the longest-standing restaurant right on the beach in Playa de Pals. We haven't tried the menu "up and down" yet, but the dishes we ordered were great in preparation and taste. The management and the service team are friendly and very attentive. The dishes and drinks are well worth the money. Here is a restaurant that people love to go back to. The outdoor and terrace areas are popular in the summer season.

On the beachfront, very good lobster paella and a large portion per person, good desserts. Excellent attention from the staff. Second time we come and we will definitely return. Keep in that way.

Fantastic experience:
Good rice, local product, friendly service and very attentive. Book ahead of time, more now, when the good comes! Black rice frying pan with allioli mortar is my recommendation. You can top it off with a couple of starters to share (chips and mussels are top notch). Getting there early is rewarding (you can park and take a bath just before; if you order a table near the sand, you can have the little ones play once they have finished eating!)

We went to dinner, with reservation made at noon. We have been able to eat on the terrace, from the sand overlooking the Medes Islands. The location of the place is idyllic and the place is well arranged. We have chosen a variety of different tapas as you go in and a second dish. The very good value for money has come out for about € 30 per person. They have a lot of people on duty, with extreme kindness. They have served us very quickly, without waiting for us. A place to recommend, to come back soon.

All still good, but the trampoline is not there anymore. The atmosphere and location is great, the food is good and the selection very good. The best I like the garden which is on the back because you can enjoy the afternoon sun so well there. The sea-side terrace offers a beautiful view. There is also a trampoline for children. The staff is multilingual and very friendly. My only criticism are the toilets which are too small and too old.

You come down from miles of headland (if you come from the south) and suddenly you find this large restaurant, not very invincant looking ... which instead surprises you and makes you want to come back!
