About Can Quel
Comment by Bravissima about Can Quel:
Can Quel is a family-run restaurant located right on the beach in Palamós, where you can enjoy a unique dining experience. They are known for their excellent quality-price ratio and very friendly service from the staff, led by Jaume, who makes sure every customer feels at home.
The daily menu, starting from 16 euros, offers a variety of dishes, with their rice dishes and fideuás being particularly praised for their quality and flavor. Many customers have noted the good attention from the staff and the pleasant location of the restaurant, with sea views.
Despite some opinions regarding somewhat deficient service during peak times and certain complications with reservations, many agree that the food is exquisite and well worth a visit. It is advisable to book in advance, especially on weekends, to secure your table and enjoy a delicious meal.

Palamos
Special table reservations:
Very little seriousness with the attention to reservations made by phone. People were entering and occupying free tables, depending on their level of friendship with the waiters.

On the beach. Nice place and you eat very well. The menu every day at € 21.50 is very good. Waiter service a little lacking. It is recommended to reserve a table especially on the weekend that fills up immediately.

Fantastic experience:
An excellent restaurant in Palamos. Amazing food. You can see that the ingredients are of excellent quality. They advised us to try the weekly menu and we have come out very happy. The razors were tasty and without that strong taste that you usually have when they are not of quality. Paying a little more we ask ourselves Calamari a la Romana and I have to point out that they are the best I have ever eaten. The Can paella is great, and the chicken my daughter ordered is not short either. Very attentive staff at all times. Very familiar treatment. That is if you REMEMBER TO BOOK.

Highly recommended, the daily menu at 16 euros very good and adjusted in price, the weekend also very good, presentation and taste with a very nice treatment of the owner and especially a very attentive and helpful young waitress, unbeatable place in first line of the Paseo de Palamós, good fish and rice cuisine

Fantastic experience:
Very friendly and professional treatment by all the room team. I have tried both the weekly menu (€ 16) and the weekend menu (€ 25) and the price of both is adjusted to the dishes that make them up. Generous and tasty dishes. Both the rice with lobster on the weekly menu and the paella can Quel on the weekend are good. For a few euros more you can taste dishes with good samples of fresh and well-cooked fish. It is advisable to book, because word of mouth, as has been my case, makes finding a table difficult, although Jaume will try to find a little space for you. Service at noon all week (except Tuesday closed for rest). Dinner on Friday and weekend. Very friendly and professional treatment by all the room team.

Eating at Can Quel is a brutal dining experience. We ordered exceptional prawns and paella. Fresh fresh prawn and delicious bufff paella. My partner has goat cheese salad and pork medallions as she is allergic to seafood. Also very tasty everything. Dessert egg custard and profiteroles, end of a magnificent meal and all in front of the seafront of Palamós. Congratulations on the good food and attention.

We arrive at the restaurant on the second turn, and Jaume takes care of us. The owner. -Welcome! You will have to wait 5 minutes. No problem! The smell of the dishes And the lively people make time fly by. We enter the dining room, very well-worked marine decoration, without stridency, and comfortable chairs and enough space. Very well taken care of. My partner enjoys it like a girl with prawns from Palamós and a hearty paella. Due to my allergy I am asking for a generous salad with goat cheese and pork tears, which by the way. They were of a very good quality. You can't have more. For dessert, classic profiteroles at the temperature point! Tough thing in many restaurants! And she's a house flame. Very well looked after at all times. The saying goes that "what is good is made to wait." Well, you know what. Don't ask Can Quel for immediacy. Because his cooking is too good to hurry. Congratulations

Fantastic experience:
Restaurant on the first line of Palamós. Very friendly staff. Good food. Very acceptable price: menu Saturday May 1 (public holiday): € 22.50. Daily menu: € 14.50. The paella in the photograph was for three people, that is, full servings. To highlight the deference of not having charged us an abundant zucchini cream, made "on purpose" for a person who cannot swallow solid food; it is a detail worthy of consideration. Thank you. It was not the first time we went to Can Quel and the experience has always been favorable. I recommend making a reservation. Totally recommendable.
