Fantastic experience: Located on the second line of the sea, with terrace and well decorated. We ate very well, the waiting times were short and both the starter and the first were delicious and generous. With a wide variety of dishes. The bathrooms were also well located and maintained. Overall a very good price/quality ratio and very friendly service. The waitress knew how to speak different languages and seemed to be everywhere at once. Really a very good experience and so close to the sea.

Virginia Gutierrez 01/05/2022

Fantastic experience: We arrived just in time for dinner before the kitchen closed, and they treated us great!!! The treatment of the staff was wonderful, a charm of people. The owner very attentive to everything. The recommendations on the portions and the amount to order were appreciated and a success! The sauce for the snails, the mussels and the cuttlefish (the best I have ever tasted, soft to the point and very tasty) were delicious. The frying of the croquettes is very crispy and not greasy at all, very good. The quality-price ratio of 10. All very good. When ordering we were told that the photos of the tapas on the menu are what they actually serve and that's how it is, it helps to get an idea of ​​the size... but the taste and how good everything is is not appreciated!!! Honestly, I don't understand that they can have negative comments. It is not on the seafront, but it is worth visiting this bar-tavern. Obviously if you expect a fancy restaurant save yourself the visit. We will come back for sure!

Fantastic experience: Can I only put 5 stars? They deserve 6 or 7! Excellent family restaurant, a bit far from the beach, where you can eat quietly, fresh and quality produce (the mussels were outrageous) and with a very pleasant and trustworthy treatment (it was full every day and we were one of the few Spaniards ... majority: Belgians and French). The homemade torreznos for appetizers were delightful. We also ordered meat and fish and they were very tasty. The fried foods well done and drained, they do not become heavy. We made our holidays happy! It is a "must" on the Costa Brava !! Thanks and we promise to come back

Fantastic experience: It had been recommended to us a long time ago. Then we managed to find it by not remembering the name very well and of course, they are right. It is a place to return and repeat the food is fabulous and the treatment is unbeatable. Super friendly and attentive. We reserved a little table because we were going with our one and a half year old baby and they prepared the table for us with a high chair and everything without commenting before and many other details that nowhere have more Michelin stars. We ate very well, paella for two great and Belgian mussels very rich, tasty razor clams and tremendous roast croquettes. We will be back compadres !!! Sure

Fantastic experience: After having read the comments of the restaurant I was really looking forward to getting to know this place so familiar and cozy and I have not been disappointed at all. In the 3 nights we have spent in l'Escala we have dined every night in "Los Compadres" and we have felt at home. But apart from the exquisite attention, the quality / price ratio is unbeatable. Especially recommended are Belgian mussels and grilled knives. This will always be a place to which we will return when we are here. Thank you!
