Very well located in front of the beach, very good service and a great variety of dishes, we ate some bravas, a grilled vegetables and a salad of pumpkin and zucchini, it was all very tasty and perfect quality price, in high season it is recommended to book and go with time because it gets crowded and the waiters do what they can.

Fantastic experience:
The best paella I have ever tasted. You cannot leave the Escala without trying the piece of paella that they prepare in this restaurant, spectacular flavor, rice to the point, the super good fresh seafood ... without any fault. The cheesecake is also one of the best I've ever had in my life, artisan, super creamy on the inside, without being excessively sweet and the accompaniment to the ice cream scoop looks great on it. In addition, the starters are also perfect. The only downside was the waiting time because it was all full and it took a while for the food to come out, but it was definitely worth it.

A very nice place for Sunday lunch. We ordered several types of rice dishes and they were all very good. The best was the black one and the one I liked the least was the caldoso (it tasted too much of alcohol), for dessert the chocolate volcano recommended by the waitress! Spectacular!

Thank you and well done!

Kitchen by SARA. A great CHEF with good culinary studies and a lot of love for her job. Something that is noticeable both in the preparation and in the presentation of their food. We ordered the paella menu "de Señorito". Although it has a more generic one. And of course a varied menu. A warm first salad frankly surprising. Various flavors and master colors. The spectacular rice. But special mention with the desserts. Any of their cakes is exquisite, although the cheese one is abysmal. More than recommended place. With magnificent views and attention from the friendly and fast waitress. A 10.

We went for breakfast for sandwiches and we loved the food and the views. The attention of the staff was good, the location of the place is wonderful with the beach at 10 meters and the peace of the Sea while you have a drink. Very good food, the bread in the sandwiches was very good. I recommend it, we will surely return. The price is not cheap but due to the location of the premises and the quality of what is offered is fair.

Fantastic experience: Delicious eaten. Good service. Nice view
Fantastic experience:
We have eaten very well "Menu del Senyoret". A very complete salad with zucchini gratin, spinach and walnuts and delicious caramelized pumpkin. The second-rate Paella is great, the rice is very tasty and just right. Afterwards, several desserts to choose. All great. The only downside is that the water was not included in the price. Recom I recommend it.

Impressive view of the beach of the scale and beautiful sunset accompanied by what you like to drink for its variety of the menu. Very kind lady attending and the temperature very friendly with winter
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
The opening in winter alone is worth a star. But the food with the extensive fish menu and the good house wine should also be mentioned. Meat and fish are prepared á point. The side dishes are according to the season. Smokers are mostly to be found in the awning. But you don't necessarily have to eat there. The service is attentive and courteous. So overall a recommendation. This also applies to the connected restaurant on the hill in St. Marti.

Fantastic experience: Great food and super friendly waiter. Good pizza for vegetarians and the salt-baked bream was fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Very nice if you end up more or less on good luck early in the season at a restaurant such as restaurant La Caravel·la. We are pampered from the beginning to the end with delicious dishes and wine and good service! The dorade was skilfully filmed next to us and flamingly presented. Sea views and goodies from the shop before and after made the party complete.

Fantastic experience: Thought this would be a tourist trap on the waterfront, but was so good we went twice in 3 days! Every dish was great, and nice to have some different options for vegetarians. 17 euro set menu at lunchtimes is a bargain too!
Fantastic experience:
Excellent restaurant right on the promenade and on the beach of L'Escala. Huge selection of tapas and other dishes, the tapas come in large portions and can be counted as a separate dish. We ordered a variety of dishes and everything tasted great. The service was also very friendly and they really looked after us. The restaurant is clearly to be recommended, but you should reserve in advance as it is very popular and can get quite crowded in the evening. Still, we never had to wait long. Any time!

Fantastic experience: Slightly pricier than average, but you get what you pay for, top quality food and great service in one of the most prime spots in l'escala with a great view. There is often live music in front on the promenade, especially in the evening, so that's a great bonus. One of the premier locations in town.

Spectacular rice! Very good staff attention. As a tapas recommendation: - Chicken croquette - Cuttlefish croquettes - Squids at "Andaluza" style - The potatoes (they had three different sauces) - Iberian ham In general, the rice dishes with stews are very good, but the one that I liked the most was undoubtedly the lobster (and there is not much difference in price with the other rice dishes). I will repeat for sure!
