Fantastic experience:
Impressive. We went with very high expectations and even and so they were over. All incredible. I do not hang from the food because there was nothing left. We took the special menu and each cent of that menu is very well paid. Rice with brutal vogue. The salad (and see that we are not eating salad) was very good. All incredible. We will repeat safe

Fantastic experience:
We have gone through the reviews here with a high bar and it has still surprised us. This menu for € 15 in other places they charge you 25-30 per person easy, and probably not that rich. First of all, the really friendly and attentive service. We've ordered stuffed mussels and peppers to share, and paella for two. All crazy. 100% recommendable.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
The € 15 menu is very good. I ordered mussels in seafood sauce first, very good, and squid second, quite rich. For dessert, delicious Catalan cream. The close and friendly treatment, the delicious food and the great price. We will repeat !!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Very good menu for € 14.95 First we took the stuffed peppers and the cannelloni, both excellent, melted in your mouth. For the second, paella, rich and large amount. For dessert Catalan cream, very good. Quick and attentive service. We will repeat.

Fantastic experience:
Great everything! We ordered the menu of the day and loved it. Super attentive and friendly waiters. Generous dishes. And homemade food. We will repeat without a doubt
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
This restaurant is pure delight. The menu of the day gives 50 turns to what you can find in the surroundings. For € 14.95 we have eaten some spectacular seafood stuffed piquillo peppers (I'm from Navarre, I know what I'm talking about) and second a seafood paella (2 people), whose flavor came from the cosmic stratosphere of paellas, was the Pure definition of a paella as God intended, a paella that even a Mandalorian would take off his armor to eat it, that even Jesus Christ would come down from the cross to congratulate the cook. In short, go eat the menu of the day and stop hanging around. Recommended 100%
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Menu of € 14.95, quality, quality and more quality ️, on the Costa Brava, eating for this price is impossible. A place from before is in the center, and people will not look at the sea or be seen, it has no stars or anything. But you eat for real, everything has its flavor, and generous portions. There are no surprises on the bill, we order more bread and more gas, and we pay the menus by the head. They are not nickels. They are dedicated to making people happy by doing what they do best. Feed. Thank you very much, we will be back

Very nice little restaurant with really good Spanish cuisine Gracias

Positive experience:
Hearty, homemade and tasty food. The crema catalana was great. Fast service. We found a white curly hair in the cannelloni but we didn't say anything, it's understandable as it's homemade and anyone can have a little mistake.

Fantastic experience:
We ate off the menu and, honestly, spectacular. First we ordered mussels a la marinera and second fideuá -one past both dishes. It is inexpensive and the service is very correct.

Fantastic experience:
Fast, very very rich, good quality at a good price, one of the best if not the best in Tossa. We have chosen the menu of 14.75 and a last one, the delicious mussels, the peppers stuffed with very very good seafood and the simple but rich paella for dessert, Catalan cream, the wine that comes with the menu gives for 4 glasses very full salts. We recommend it without a doubt but to call before that it is small, it has two shifts at 1pm and 3pm. You will like

I went for two days because I discovered it late. It is an excellent option, not only for the price which is unbeatable, but also for the quality and quantity of food they serve. We tried the cannelloni, peppers and asparagus, as well as the fideuá and paella. One thing better than the other, without forgetting the flans that were an elixir. The service is very warm and friendly.

We went to this restaurant because of the good reviews it had and we were right. We ordered from the menu of the day, first the mussels a la marinera, the fish soup and the varied salad; and second we all ordered the seafood paella. In addition to entering the bread, water or wine and desserts. Everything was very good and you can tell that the food is homemade. Good value for money. The place is cozy, has a small terrace outside and good treatment by the staff. We will surely repeat. A recommended option if you visit Tossa de Mar.

Fantastic experience:
A motorcycle ride to Tossa on a sunny day, on the beach we looked to eat at a nearby restaurant and well rated. We arrived at La Roca and let ourselves be guided by the reviews and not by the decoration and furniture, we were right. Mussels with a very good sauce, stuffed peppers and exquisite cod and pig's feet, very good service. Do not be fooled by the appearance of the restaurant and enjoy the food. Enjoy your meal!

Fantastic experience: Excellent value for its price. This is a Restaurant where you will find mid-high quality food at a really fair price. We ordered the daily menu at 14,75. It included a starter a main and a dessert, as well as bread drinks and desserts. The location is quite convenient since it is located literally 3 min from the beach. The staff is really friendly. The part I enjoyed the most were the desserts an amazing home-made Crema Catalana (I’m Catalan and it was truly amazing and truly home-made) and their Panacotta. Definetely a great stop if you want to find a mid quality restaurant at a really fair price.
Fantastic experience: Great food and friendly staff

Summary: Highly recommended place in quality-price. To save 5 euros and eat poor quality, book (is necessary) and go to this place if you come to Tossa de Mar. ------------------- We went to eat two menus today and, although everything was booked, we were able to enjoy the food on the terrace. The menu has cost 13.95 and there has been no supplement per terrace, which is something to be grateful for. As a first course we ordered grilled asparagus with salad and some mussels a la marinera. The asparagus had a great presentation and tasted as good as the presentation. The mussels had a very good sauce. They were not very large, but there was a lot, so if you like them it is an ideal dish like first. Second we ordered a seafood paella, which needs at least two people to make it. It was a good paella for what you usually see in menu places and it was a good amount. They leave you the paella and let everyone eat what they want.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: This place was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the fixed price menu for €14 and got a huge plate of mussels, Catalan sausage, beans and fries, creme Catalan (Creme brûlée), 1/2 liter of wine, and bread. It was so much food I was sure the price was wrong, but was correct once the bill arrived. The food was also amazing- very fresh and tasted like home cooking.

The food is 100% homemade and delicious, as well as abundant and the kitchen service is very fast. The customer service is excellent: the waiters are attentive, helpful and smiling. The weekend menu only cost us € 14.95. Includes first course (all of the photo and more options), second (paella to share, in our case), dessert (interchangeable for coffee / tea) and drink (water or wine). It is practically in front of the large Tossa beach and offers unbeatable value for money.

Fantastic experience: One of the best local catalan restaurants I ate before
Fantastic experience: We loved the food and their friendly staff. The menu option is really tasty, available all day and for 13.99 a great deal. A must visit restaurant in Tossa. We visited the restaurant twice.
Fantastic experience: Super nice place, real Catalan food from a small family run business. Food is delicious and not expensive at all, is pretty crowded since the local is small but is worth it and much better than everything you can find in the town.
