Fantastic experience: Restaurant very well located, in front of the port of Palamós and next to one of the municipal parkings (payment). The restaurant, although it is a classic place in Palamós, for a few years passed to other hands, which has lost its essence of the typical sailor restaurant of yesteryear, but I must say that the new decoration is exquisite, very beautiful and decorated with good taste. The food is of quality and very well cooked, although the amount is justice for the price you pay. The always very helpful and super friendly service. My favorites: sailor rice is delicious, although little quantity, very very just (in other restaurants they put more quantity and are equally rich), grilled palamós prawns (these never fail) and the seniorly to the sailor Buah! Spectacular !! And the amount here is correct. The squid to the Roman also very rich, but very little. Quality-price ratio compared to restaurants in the area, it is something expensive.

Fantastic experience: As you can see when you eat fresh fish in a restaurant. We went there for a romantic celebration and the truth is that we were super happy, both with the treatment of the service and with the food. The truth is that we put on our boots. High price, but not expensive, as the food is worth it! It’s one of those places to go when you’re willing to spend a little more than normal. If you do you will rarely regret it! I had known him for years and had been there as a child, so I went back to see if he was still as before. And yes, it remains the same!

Alicia Deefe 01/02/2022

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, it is a magnificent excuse to go on an excursion to Palamós. The location, the place, the attention are impeccable. But the food is the best. The soupy rice and above all the quality and freshness of the product. Seafood is treated with great respect and this is transmitted in simple and delicious dishes. The desserts are from a nearby patisserie and are also the perfect culmination. Regarding the price, it is not cheap, but it is fully justified by the quality of the product. It is not a tourist trap at all, nor does it seem above what it is worth. I would say around €40 per person on average.

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt one of the restaurants par excellence in Palamós. Attentive and professional service. The quality of its products, its dishes ... there is little to say, its suppliers, direct from the fish market. They recommended spicy octopus and it was a success. Fine clams, anchovies, grilled beach squid ... in short, we will repeat with "pleasure" again.

Fantastic experience: Good place to eat fish, seafood and rice. The lobster one is very good. The prawns of Palomós sublime. The perfect attention and waiting time. The price? It is not cheap, commensurate with the quality. I would suggest that you change the wet wipes for your hands, as it is better not to use them, as they leave you sticky and you have to go to the sink. But except for this nonsense, approved very high !!

Fantastic experience: It has changed ownership since the last time I went, three years ago, and they maintain quality. The place has been greatly improved and the service is still very attentive. The red, medium, grilled prawns are very rich (I personally would have liked a more raw hair) and the rice casserole is tremendous. It remains a mandatory stop site every time I walk near Palamós.

Alex Alegre 02/06/2020

Fantastic experience: Good service and very good gender. It prepares the dishes that can be eaten from a restaurant in front of the fish market, without exceeding the price. Do not get confused, it's not cheap, but it fits better than others in the area in the price-quality ratio. I mean, we had some grilled cockles, a lobster with its eggs in foie gras, a bottle of wine, dessert and coffee; for € 75. A lobster rice for 2 can go for € 20 per head with drinks and everything as we saw. So very good. For my part, perhaps I will reseve it for moments with meaning, but I will definitely come back.

Fantastic experience: We went Palamos bcz of I search for Cardinal Prawn (Carabineros) when i dig deeper and deeper I found out Gambes de Palamos is famous too even though it is not for export bcz only local market can use up all. So I put Palamos in my trip, And here “Can Blau” is famous restaurant around this area. As we checked with our airbnb host that also recommend this restaurant. Must try black ink rice on it. After half day walk around this sea-side area, we back here just before 18:00 so we are the first one couple (Asian) step up that door. There are nice atmosphere with outside sun down lovely yellow orange light The boss was nice and honest. Bcz he told us Le Gamba L size not much bigger than M size but pay db price.So we accept his suggestion “M size” it was amazing good texture just in really simply grill - may be 1 min each side. It seems like Sashimi but not raw. And the black ink rice Casserola Euro 45 for two, the big value will surprise you. I found some langoustine inside the rice. Also that night boss introduced Mascado Wine was super tasty.

Gerard Darnes 01/06/2020

Fantastic experience: Not easy to find great local seafood and fish in summer... in the Bay of Palamós, there are a few places. Just a few! One of them is Can Blau. Many years in different spots in same town and looks like this one will be forever. Great seafood with tasty fishes in a pretty environment. Super service and pretty good price value... local wines from Empordà and cava. We will comeback in autumm where fishes are even tastier and cheaper ;) congratulations Can Blau!!!

Kiku Casas 02/06/2019

Fantastic experience: One of those places that you remember for a long time. Nice and cozy place located near the port, with a very pleasant marine decoration. The management is clearly familiar and you can breathe in everything: super friendly and close attention, attention to every detail ... and the food, spectacular. We had two for dinner, we tried some starters (squid with the house batter and something else), a rice (the house recipe for 35 years), an exquisite white wine (unfortunately, I can't remember the name) and a mandarin sorbet (highly recommended) ... come on, we cut ourselves. In total, just under € 40, a very, very honest price, considering the quality. We will be back without a doubt.

Fantastic experience: If you visit Palamós and want to eat seafood cuisine and good products, do not forget to visit Can Blau. . Located on the promenade right next to the fishing port, you can delight yourself with its magnificent rice dishes, with excellent Palamós prawns and endless well-prepared seafood products. The renovated space is very cozy and the treatment of the excellent staff. Without a doubt, I recommend the Can Blau rice casserole and especially the Lobster a la Remanguillé, a spectacle for the palate.

Unfortunately the lobster was finished so we went for crab, which was awesome as well, it's just me who hates the opening and cleaning of it.

Dudderz A 01/06/2019

Fantastic experience: The most wonderful meal. Beautifully cooked, full of flavour. Sardines and Gambas were truly excellent. The main, Riz en casserole de Can Blau was stunning. The owner spent time talking to us about each dish and even dissuaded us from ordering the most expensive main.. He recommended his personal favourite and it was well worth it. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
